Anticipated Price Increase for 2023:
Well we are certainly not excited about this next bit of news, but it has to be this way and everyone probably saw this coming eventually...
As of mid 2022, dog food prices have increased a whopping 40% from just a year earlier. Gasoline increased 80%, and other expenses such as utilities. property maintenance, labor and materials have increased 40%-50% from the previous year. Everyone knows and has felt this impact on the cost of living no matter where you are. We have never depended on puppy sales to pay our personal bills such as auto loans, mortgages, our food, and other necessities for my wife and I, but in order to keep our breeding program from being a losing proposition, we must increase our puppy prices. However, our price increase will not take effect until January 1, 2023, and will only increase about 20%. Please click here for more information on our 2023 scheduled price increase.
This following info is specifically directed to those who are currently on one of our waiting lists for a future litter, or will soon be taking home one of our Golden Retriever puppies from a current litter. In addition, those who may be considering to get on our waiting list may also find this information helpful.

Starting in February of 2022, all of our puppy litters will be eating a specially formulated and optimized puppy food beginning at 4 weeks of age: Victor Elite Canine in the lime green bag.

For Those Who are on One of Our Waiting Lists for a Future Litter:
1.You can periodically login to your customer account to see if there are any updates, keep track of important dates, your paid deposit amounts, and where you stand in line for a puppy in an upcoming litter. Please login to your account at least once a month (and even weekly or daily after the birthdate of your litter occurs). Your place in line will change if people ahead of you on the list cancel. Your position may also change when people who have placed multiple deposits on more than one litter or gender make their choice, and at that time all their other reservations cancel and the people behind them move up!
2. If you were previously on one of our 2nd Priority or Standby waiting lists and you desire to be in 1st Priority, you must make an additional deposit now. The total of your deposits must equal at least $300 in order to be in 1st Priority. That means if you are on Standby, you need to make an additional $300 deposit. If you are 2nd Priority, you need to make an additional $100-$150 deposit depending on the amount you have already made. Click on Litter Info at the top of this page and select the color, then select Puppy Info & Photos. Scroll down to the PayPal and Venmo payment section to make your payment.

For Those Seeking To Get on One of Our Waiting Lists:
1. Please follow these instructions first (click here). The last step is to text us saying that you have completed the first two steps and are ready to create a Customer Profile Account.
2. Decide on a litter color that we offer and a gender. The more litter colors and genders you get in line for, the greater will be your chance of there being at least one litter that has enough puppies for you to get one.
3. Decide if you want to be on our 1st Priority ($300 deposit), 2nd Priority ($200 Deposit), or Standby (No Deposit) waiting list.
4. Create your Customer Profile Account from the link that we text to you. However, it is highly recommended that you use a laptop or desktop computer to create your account. Choose a username that helps you remember which litter color and gender the waiting list account is for (example: JoeSmithWCM stands for Joe Smith's white cream male reservation). This is especially helpful if you are getting on more than one waiting list. A separate account is required for each litter color and gender. For Priority customers, all your deposits are transfered to the puppy you finally get to choose so that no deposit is forfeited when you purchase a puppy.
5. Pay your deposit(s) by Venmo (no fee if you designate us as friends and family), or PayPal (3.9% fee), or a personal check mailed to us if you choose to be on one of our priority lists.
