Here is the news everyone has been waiting for regarding the birth of our recent White Cream litter of pups. Duchess and Huxley are the proud parents of 5 beautiful puppies, 1 boy and 4 girls. Although this was a smaller litter of puppies, Duchess will be able to manage them well without any stress and we are very thrilled to have such high quality Golden Retriever puppies to offer. 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 has kept her whelping box spotless and all the pups nice and clean). We will be posting pictures of momma and her babies all together in the whelping box by this coming weekend June 10th or 11th. Those photos can be found under the photos menu, white cream color, then puppy photos. 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, June 30th thru the July 2nd. You have the option of choosing your puppy either in person here at our facility or thru video chat with us and the puppies. The price of all pups in this litter are $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 White Cream 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 White Cream litter puppy purchase. OR if you currently have a reservation for this White Cream color 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 White Cream litter, please schedule your time to either drive out to our facility or have a video chat with us to see the pups either Fri, Sat, or Sun, June 30th thru July 2nd. 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, June 22nd, 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 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 for the next white cream litter planned for January 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 white cream litter will automatically be moved to Standby for the next white cream litter planned for January 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.
MAY 28TH UPDATE ON OUR WHITE CREAM LITTER: There here! Duchess and Huxley had there litter of pups on Sunday May 28th, 2023. Ms. Denise was right their in the delivery room (whelping box) and helped deliver each and every puppy in this litter. Momma and her pups are doing quite well and we are very pleased with Duchess's careful watch over the pups. We always like to keep a close watch on momma and her pups for the first 10 days before we announce the final count and number in each gender. This allows us to develope the necessary confidence that all puppies in the litter are vibrant and healthy. So, on Wednesday afternoon, June 7th, please return to our website for the exciting announcement that all of you on our waiting list have been patiently waiting for.
MAY 19TH UPDATE ON OUR NEXT WHITE CREAM LITTER: We have now determined that Duchess is definitely carrying a litter of puppies and is due to give birth sometime around the last week of May! For all of you on our waiting list for this litter and if there are enough puppies for you to get one, you should be making plans to come out and pick out your puppy the last week in June, and then come back to take your puppy home after the 3rd week of July 2023.
MARCH 27TH UPDATE ON OUR NEXT WHITE CREAM LITTER: More Good News! We observed mating between Huxley and Duchess this week. The schedule listed below in the previous update seems to be right on shedule, but keep your fingers crossed for more exciting news around March 18th!
MARCH 14TH NEWS ON OUR NEXT ENGLISH WHITE CREAM LITTER: Good News! Duchess (our White Cream momma) started her heat cycle this week. 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 Mar 22nd-26th). The gestation period is 63 days which would put the birth of our next English White Cream litter sometime between May 18th and 28th. This in turn, would make the pups ready to go home on or after July 21st (possibly a week later depending on the actual birth date). If everything works out with what we are currently observing and Duchess conceives, then those who are on the waiting list for her next liter will be picking your puppy either the week ending June 23rd or June 30th, and will be taking your puppy home possibly as early as July 21st. This is the latest and best information we have at this time. Thanks from Emery-n-Denise to everyone on the waiting list for your patience!
