Here is the news everyone has been waiting for regarding the birth of our recent Auburn color litter of pups. Bridgette and Rhett are the proud parents of 5 beautiful puppies, 2 boys and 3 girls. ALL PUPPIES IN THIS LITTER HAVE BEEN SOLD TO THOSE ALREADY ON OUR WAITING LIST. This litter of pups from Bridgette and Rhett are absolutely beautiful and momma will be able to easily manage the 5 pups without any stress. We are very thrilled to have such high quality Golden Retriever puppies to offer those who already placed a deposit and have been on our waiting list. All 5 pups are healthy, strong, and growing quickly. Momma is doing great and is doing a wonderful job of caring for her babies (she is very particular about keeping the pups on a routine of nursing and keeping them clean). We will be posting pictures of momma and her babies all together in the whelping box this coming weekend on April 27th. Those photos can be found under the photos menu, auburn color, then whelping box. For those of you who've been anxiously awaiting this news on our Priority reservation list, you will be making your puppy choice starting Friday, Saturday, or Sunday, May 24th, 25th, and 26th. You have the option of choosing your puppy either in person here at our facility (recommended) or thru video chat with us and the puppies. The price of the both male and female pups pups in this litter $2200, based on our 2023 price schedule (click here for more info on 2023 puppy pricing). Please login to your customer account to see where you are in the choosing order because you could have moved up the list (we will never move anyone down lower on the list unless you tell us that you want to postpone until the next litter).
If you are on our Priority Reservation list for this litter, please get in touch with us by phone, text, or email to confirm two very important things:
- First let us know if you want to proceed with the purchase of one of these pups from the Auburn litter, and that if you have other deposits on any other of our upcoming litters, that you want to cancel the other reservations and move those deposits to this Auburn litter puppy purchase. OR, if you currently have a reservation for this litter but cannot make a commitment to purchase a puppy at this time, let us know that something has come up and you want wait for a future litter; in that case we will roll your deposit over to the next litter (deposit refunds are not allowed if you refuse a puppy that we offer to you from this current litter).
- Next, if you are proceeding with a purchase from this Auburn litter, please schedule your time to either drive out to our facility or have a video chat with us to see the pups at 5 weeks of age. This will be either Fri, Sat, or Sun, May 24th, 25th, or 26th. We will only accept one family at a time to see the pups and those that contact us the earliest will have more choices for a date and time to come out or video chat with us. If we haven't heard from those of you who have a reservation by Thursday evening, May 16th, we will call you for purchase confirmation and let you know what dates and times we have remaining. When you pick your specific puppy from this litter at 5 weeks of age, you will be required to place an additional deposit so that the total amount of all your deposits is at least $1000, and this will all go toward your purchase price.
IF WE ARE UNABLE TO OFFER YOU A PUPPY FROM THIS LITTER:
If we do not have enough puppies in this litter for you to get one and you have not rolled over your deposit from a previous litter, you can request a refund of your deposit by text, email, or phone, which will be processed within 24 hours. If you can't remember where you are on the waiting list, you can login to your customer account to check. However, if we don't hear from you, we will automatically move you up the list to a higher position for the next Auburn litter planned for the Fall of 2024. Everyone will move up from where you were before and those of you on the 2nd Priority list can move up to 1st Priority behind those already in 1st Priority that didn't get a puppy this time. To move up to 1st Priority from 2nd Priority, you must place an additional $100 deposit so that your total deposit amount becomes $300.
Those who were on the Standby list for this auburn litter will automatically be moved to Standby for the next auburn litter planned for the Fall of 2024, and you also have the option of moving to a Priority spot by placing a deposit.
Many thanks to everyone on our waiting list who has been patiently waiting, and we sincerely regret not having enough puppies for everyone to be able to get one at this time. Our heart goes out to you because everyone deserves a puppy! This is something we wish we had more control over but we don't. We are hopeful and thankful for your understanding, and we hope you will stay with us for another season, but if you choose not to, we completely understand.
If we are unable to offer you a puppy from this recent litter, you have up until June 5th, 2024 to request a refund of your deposit. After that date, your deposit becomes non-refundable but can still be applied to the purchase of a puppy from a future litter.
APRIL 16TH UPDATE ON OUR SPRING 2024 AUBURN COLOR LITTER:
Miss Bridgette is in labor and had her first pup on Tues, Apr 16 at 12:50 pm. How exciting for her and us. Ms Denise is our resident puppy doula and Bridgette really enjoys her presence to help out with the deliveries. We will be announcing the final numbers in about 8-10 days so if you are in line for this litter, start watching your customer account starting Apr 24th. We will be posting whelping box pictures of momma with her pups in about 12-14 days, around Apr 29th. The two most important dates for our puppy adoption families to plan for is Fri, May 24th thru Sun the 26th, which are the days you will be picking your puppy if there are enough for you to get one. If you are high on the list (position 1 or 2), you'll want to choose Fri or early Sat morning. You can come here in person and meet us and the puppy parents (recommended), or you can schedule a video chat. The second important date will be starting Fri, Jun 21st thru Sun, the 23rd. This is when you will be bringing your puppy home.
APRIL 14TH UPDATE ON OUR SPRING 2024 AUBURN COLOR LITTER:
Our latest prediction for Bridgette and Rhett's litter of puppies (based on her ususal 63-day gestation period) is sometime between Monday, April 15th and Friday, the 19th. We are excited for this new litter.
APRIL 6TH UPDATE ON OUR SPRING 2024 AUBURN COLOR LITTER:
We have now confirmed that Bridgette is definitely carrying a litter of puppies and is due to give birth in mid April ! For all of you who are on our waiting list for this litter (assuming there are enough puppies of the gender you have placed a deposit on for you to get one), you should be making plans to come out and pick your puppy possibly as early as Friday, May 31st at the earliest. We will update everyone's customer account about 7-10 days after the birth of this litter so that you can see if a puppy is avaialable for you from this litter. Then, you will need to make plans to come back a month later, possibly as early as Friday, June 28th at the earliest to take your puppy home. These dates may slide forward by a week depending on the actual birth date. If we can not provide a puppy for you from this litter because there are not enough to go around for everyone on the waiting list, you will have options available to you including a refund of your deposit if you so choose. Thank you for your patience with our momma Goldens.
FEBRUARY 14TH UPDATE ON OUR SPRING 2024 AUBURN COLOR LITTER:
Good News! Bridgette (our Auburn momma) started her heat cycle the beginning of February. Her heat cycle will last for 21 to 28 days, and the fertile mating period generally occurs 10 to 14 days into the cycle (sometime between February 10th and 14th). The gestation period is 63 days which would put the birth of our next Auburn color litter sometime between April 11th to the 16th. This in turn, would make the pups ready to go home on or after June 14th (or possibly a week later depending on the actual birth date). If everything works out with what we are currently observing and Bridgette conceives, then those who are on the waiting list for her next liter will be picking your puppy possibly as early as Friday, May 17th thru the 19th, and will be taking your puppy home possibly as early as June 14th thru the 16th. This is the latest and best information we have as of this time. Thanks from Emery-n-Denise to everyone on the waiting list for your patience!
