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.
Puppies are 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.
