Our Puppy Process

From Our Family to Yours

Every puppy deserves more than a name on a list. Here's how we help each little one find their way home.

  1. Step 1

    Hearing About a Litter

    When a litter is on the way, we share the news right here on our Goldens and Hounds pages and in our Puppy Journal. Each litter has its own page, so you can follow along from the very beginning.

  2. Step 2

    Joining the Waitlist

    If you'd like to be considered for a puppy, just tap the “Join the Waitlist” button on a litter or puppy page. It opens a short form so we can get to know your family a little better.

  3. Step 3

    Following Along

    As the puppies grow, we post photos, weights, and milestone updates. Every puppy has a profile page, so you can watch their personality come through week by week.

  4. Step 4

    Health & Care

    Our dogs and puppies are cared for as members of our family. We work with our veterinarian throughout the process and keep each family informed about the care their puppy has received before going home.

  5. Step 5

    Finding the Right Match

    We'll reach out to families on the waitlist to talk through the details. Our goal is a good fit for both the puppy and your family, so we're always happy to answer questions along the way.

  6. Step 6

    Going Home

    When the big day arrives, your puppy heads home with you — and becomes part of our extended family. We love hearing how they're doing, and with your permission, we may share their photo in our “Everybody Knows Their Name” gallery.
