Here at Delmarva Golden Retrievers I have a very selective breeding program. As a responsible breeder, I am committed to producing healthy, sound puppies that conform to the Golden standard in looks and temperament. An exhaustive and thorough research of pedigrees insures me that I am making the right choice not only for my breeding program but also for the betterment of the breed in general. I typically breed anywhere from 2-3 litters per year.
Each litter is raised in my home under the best possible controlled conditions. The whelping room is monitored by closed circuit TV so I can keep a watchful eye on things but still give the dam her privacy. Before leaving my home at the age of 8-9 weeks, I introduce the litter to other dogs and other people. They have been on a variety of surfaces and have played in several different areas of my home/yard. I feel this produces a mentally healthy and outgoing puppy which adapts easily to new surroundings.
Each client receives a Puppy Packet which includes a text pedigree, photos of the parents, clearances on the parents, a record of vaccinations and medications to date, a sales agreement, a toy containing the scent of their littermates and a "Care Of Your New Puppy" pamphlet (copyright © Delmarva Goldens). I am available to answer any questions or concerns you may have throughout the life of your Golden. Each potential client must complete a Puppy Application and attend an in person interview (or by phone) before a reservation will be accepted. A one time only "open house" will be held when the puppies reach 5 weeks old. All clients are encouraged to attend.
Puppies are de-wormed, vaccinated, started on heartworm prevention and checked by a Veterinarian before leaving my home. Pet puppies are sold on a spay/neuter contract and are registered with AKC on a "Limited Registration"
Please Note: Puppies are placed with their new owners based on the completed Puppy Application. I will choose the puppy best suited to the clients lifestyle. I do not let the owner choose their own puppy. All puppies will be evaluated at 7.5 weeks and show/performance potential puppies will be chosen first and always takes priority. Show puppies will ONLY be placed in homes where I feel they will be shown.
I will not sell to brokers or what *I* consider a high volume breeder (7 or more litters per year) or to a home overseas. If you fall into one of those categories...please do not contact me.

Please note: Adding your name to the waiting list and submitting a deposit does not guarantee that you will receive a puppy. Variables include: number of puppies whelped, overall quality of the litter (pet vs. show), and the sex of the puppies. If I do not have a puppy for you, your deposit will be returned in full. All deposits are fully refundable until the puppies reach the age of 5 weeks. If at that time you wish to cancel your reservation, for whatever reason, I will refund your deposit less $100.

Future Breeding Plans
The GRCA provides puppy referral as a convenience to puppy buyers to find out about breeders who are GRCA members and their litters. GRCA takes no responsibility whatsoever for any puppies/dogs that you may acquire through GRCA puppy referral. GRCA is not responsible for any breeder’s sale practices and sales contracts, nor will GRCA be involved in any manner in contract disputes between puppy buyers and breeders. Availability of puppies and conditions of sale are at the sole discretion of the individual breeder. Buyers are encouraged to read ACQUIRING A GOLDEN RETRIEVER , as found on the grca.org website, for general information about obtaining a puppy, to take as much time as necessary to locate a reputable breeder from whom they feel comfortable purchasing a puppy, and to investigate breeders and their puppies thoroughly before committing to a purchase. You are not obligated to purchase a puppy from the breeders whose names you obtain from GRCA puppy referral.
