How The Puppy Process Works & What to Expect In The Puppy Process

Hello friends! Welcome to the home of our amazing AKC Golden Retrievers.  We are proud to say we raise healthy good minded dogs and they are all very special to us.  We hope you see how Elite Euro Goldens stands out a notch above in our strenuous breeding selection and process. 

We test for the full GR panel of defects. Over 100+ defects are tested through Embark. Most common known to the breed include prcd, PRA 1, PRA 2, ICT, NCL, DM,  MD.  Eye clearances are done annually.  Heart Clearances are completed through the process of an echocardiogram.  This is an ultrasound of the heart and is the only true way to know if all four chambers of the heart are healthy with no signs of subaortic stenosis, mitral Valve Disease, Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM)

It’s possible and not at all uncommon that there be a waiting list for our puppies. We are a small intimate family of Golden Retriever enthusiast with a loving and caring breeding program.

Deposits hold your puppy spot on the reservations list.  There is a one year convenience for the depositor to move their deposit around should there be unforeseen circumstances by depositor with no intention on forfeiting the non-refundable deposit. This does not include any waiting time for puppy availability after the year is over only for your convenience. 

How To Reserve A Puppy:

 Puppy Application: Puppy reservations can be made after we approve the Puppy Application and speak/message with you and understand more about the new home our puppy is going to and have a full understanding of what you are looking for in a puppy. 

Please review our Policies page to save time and understand what is expected.  We look forward to reviewing your application and try to respond ASAP but we do ask to please allow us a few days to respond as it can get busy.

 There is a Companion/Pet Puppy Reservation's List where your deposit and contract will be added for the next available puppy.  The list is split into cream or gold and male or female options. Or you can choose to be on the list for next available puppy- meaning no particular preference- cream or gold, male or female.  All Elite Euro Golden puppies are held to the same high standards and we do not let go of puppies that are not in peak condition.

*** AT ANY TIME ELITE EURO GOLDENS RETAINS THE RIGHT TO HOLD BACK ANY PUPPY AT ANY TIME FOR ANY REASON.  ***

Choosing Your Puppy: 

Buyer's official puppy choice is made by (7) seven weeks of age or after the litter has received their Vet Health Exams. Should any puppy from a current litter need extra attention or medical care it will be held back by the breeder and not offered for sale. Breeder reserves the right to hold back any puppy for any reason. 

NOTE:

Pregnancy confirmations are around (30) thirty days after last breeding day. Gestation is (62) sixty two days. Give or take a few days window pending progesterone levels when bred. 

Puppy Pictures & ENS Stimulation:

Once the puppies are born we work hard to update puppy pictures every (2) two weeks and begin working with the puppies using Early Neurological Stimulation for young pups (ENS) for a confident healthier future family member. Our puppy families have found this to make our puppies easy to train and live with. 

Going Home: 

1)   Puppies go home after a puppy spa day of bathing, clipping and grooming.  I like to add a delicious conditioning puppy cologne spray for a fresh homecoming!

2)   Along with all the contents of the Puppy Pack including personal binders with all of your puppies information and records that we will go over in detail.  Puppy Pack includes Health Records Form for your Vet with updated vaccinations and wormings, AKC Registration, Microchip Information and Pedigree, Trupanion Life Insurance furnished free to you for a month from us, Farmina Food Kit and emailed Farmina Proposal for a percentage off the diet. And NuVet Plus Information with Samples if necessary.

3)   Puppy is Examined by a Board Certified Veterinarian. 

4)   NuVet Plus supplement is available for purchase on our website using the Puppy Products page.

Your puppies current diet of Farmina Puppy Lamb Blueberry and Pumpkin must be requested and we will send you the Farmina proposal via email.

We are happy to send a proposal for any dog you have or feel could benefit from a dry kibble that is the next best thing to a natural raw diet .

5)   Trupanion dog insurance for (30) thirty days free. This is to be activated (24) twenty four hours before your puppy goes home. You will receive details.

6) AKC REUNITE Microchip Registration.  Your puppy will be microchipped and you will receive details on registering the microchip with your personal information.

There is a (2) two year Health Guarantee on all of our puppies, includes feeding your puppy Farmina diet and NuVet Plus supplement. See Nutrition‘s Page.

Pick Up: 

Buyer will pick their puppy up at (8) eight weeks of age. Buyer will have through that weeks upcoming weekend to pick up their puppy. Starting the following Monday a $30 per day boarding fee will be applied to your total at pickup or delivery.

If we need to hold your puppy for any amount of time after the pickup period, it must be understood that your puppy and any boarding fees must be paid in full.

Shipping: 

We do offer shipping through the United PetSafe Program. Flying conditions are environmentally controlled with food, water and regular monitoring.

Shipping is additional and would include the additional cost of the crate, health certification, and any additional vaccinations or materials that would not otherwise be given at pick up. 

Pending size and Location shipping usually ranges (price before pandemic $350-450). Due to economic inflation these days we recommend road transport. I know of several trusting licensed pet transporters that even i have used and I'm certain we can get it figured out. They have travel dates and if several pups travel at a time its cheaper.

 Deposit/Contracts

We ask that you wait until we have approved your application before placing your deposit.  -  DEPOSITS ARE NON-REFUNDABLE  - 

As we stated above but find worth mentioning again. Deposits hold your puppy or puppy placing on the reservations list.  They are honored for one year.  This does not include any waiting time for a  puppy after the year is over.  It is a convenience for the depositor to move their deposit around should their be unforeseen circumstances with no intention to forfeit deposit.

Your reservation will be added to the Reservation's List in order of the $500 deposit. Deposits are placed through the  PayPal button on our homepage. 

No specific breeding pairs may be reserved. We use our breeding knowledge and expertise to breed for the best outcome and this can include many factors!!! 

$500 Deposit is included within total cost of $3000 for puppy. The deposit officially holds your puppy spot and the remaining total will be due CASH (preferred) or bank wire upon pick up or delivery pending circumstances...

 ***Pricings are in accordance to fair market value and breeder discretion.***

NOTE:  

Not paying in full by the date and or the puppy's 8 week age mark will mean that you have forfeited your puppy and deposit. It will also mean that you have relieved us of any further obligation to you and we will be free to sale the puppy to the next available buyer. The additional boarding etc. will be applied when pickup or delivery date arrives. 

You can expect to be asked if you understand all of our Procedures and Policies and we will hold your application stating you understand.
