Mary Market's AKC Home-Grown Golden Retrievers
Our parents are OFA tested for hips, eyes, heart, elbows, and genetically for prcd-PRA, PRA1, PRA2, DM, Ichthyosis, and NCL. We provide a health guarantee, a no-questions-asked return policy, and breeder support for the life of your pup. We also match puppies to owners so that they are best suited for each other. Our puppies are raised in our home as part of our family and well socialized and stimulated. Additionally, Our puppies are appropriately treated for parasites and receive their first core vaccines & veterinary well-check.

We set a price with each litter which is posted on our website and Facebook page. We provide limited AKC registration unless arrangements are made in advance. Puppies range in price from $2000 to $2800 dependent on conforming assessments at 7 weeks, show or breeding intentions.

There is no deposit to be added to the general list. We will request a waiting list fee of $150 (non-refundable) when you are moved to a permanent list after confirmation of pregnancy. A non-refundable $350 deposit is due when the puppies are a week old, or a total of $500 if you get on the list after pregnancy confirmation or the birth of puppies.

Puppy Preferences
Do you prefer a male or female?

Female Male Either is fine
I will wait for the next litter if the sex I want is not available.

Yes No
Our breeding pair is English Creme and Standard American so our puppies are on the lighter side but can turn out darker. Sometimes it is difficult to tell if they will lighten or darken as they age. Knowing that shade is not a guarantee, what are your color preferences?

Darker (More like the Standard American Golden features) Lighter (More like the English Creme features) Medium (Varying shades in between) Any shade is fine. Other qualities are more important to me.

What's Next

After the application process, we will communicate via email on the next steps, including information on how to hold a puppy with a deposit, AKC registration, finally payment, and pickup of your puppy. If we do not have pups available at the time of your application or there is an unconfirmed pregnancy, we will receive a Waitlist $150 non-refundable deposit by PayPal or Venmo. Make sure you send deposits "Friends & Family" as there is a $14.95 fee, otherwise. If anyone requests a temperament and conformation assessment on the litter, these are done at 7 weeks. We pass the cost of this onto the requester(s). Sometimes this fee can be split by several new puppy parents and if one person is interested, then I will ask others on the Hold Pup List. These are great if you have special needs, for example a very young child or you are disabled and need an "easy" puppy (if that is even possible!) But we can try and these tests are especially important if you are interested in breeding or show quality, as we will not do full registration without assessment. We spend the week between 7 and 8 weeks determining which puppies are a good match for you. We've found that their personalities don't really fully develop until 7 to 8 weeks and we want to make sure we provide a successful match for you and our pups. We will provide lots of video or live stream opportunities for you to get an idea on which ones you like, as well. We will also do facetime chats with you so you can get to know us and the puppies. It is not good for the pups and you to find out they are the wrong dog for you later. You get to pick out your pup at 8 weeks and we will try to give you several options. You may take your pup home at that time or leave your pup for another one to 2 weeks for further pack/litter development. If most pups go home, though, we will want you to take yours home, also. We do find that some pups could use extra time with the litter and mom does quite a bit of training, also.
