Mary Market's AKC Home-Grown Golden Retrievers
Welcome to the application process for a Sundancin' Golden Retriever puppy. We are so excited you have reached this point in your research for one of the most favored breeds of dogs there are. Goldens are loving animals with great temperaments and our program is dedicated to better the breed and the puppy in every way possible. We are based in Copalis Beach, WA. Puppies raised in-home at Big Bend Goldens in Union, WA.

Which puppy/dog are you interested in?*

TBD
We are planning a break from breeding and preparing our next show/stud dog Cyrus. We have a wide network of breeders and can refer you. Please inquire.

We take all dogs back without question to prevent our dogs from being left at animal shelters. Therefore, we require that you return your pup/dog to us should you no longer want him/her. We have affiliations where we can find a new home for your unwanted pet. If we are able to receive a rehoming fee, we will return that to you less our expenses.

We also have a health guarantee that covers genetic diseases for return or reimbursement of medical costs up to the cost of the puppy. This does not cover parasites or viruses caused from exposure after the puppy has left our premises with a health check from our board-certified veterinarian. Please review our contract for details of our health guarantee.
