PLEASE READ BELOW THOROUGHLY AS FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ARE ANSWERED BELOW This application is to ensure we find the best fit for our sweet Golden retriever babies by getting to know potential families and allowing you to get to know us.
🐾We kindly ask that you reply to the following questions. As a breeder this helps us get to know potential puppy parents more thoroughly, future home conditions, and that they are a good fit for one of our pups. This also lets us know what you are looking for in a puppy, which allows us to better assist you when picks happen. This is life long commitment, and we want to ensure our puppies find their life long home. Our application is required to be considered for a present or future puppy. You will not be approved without this form. While it is lengthy and detailed, this is for the long term safety and well-being of every puppy born with Waggly Retrievers. If you would like to be considered for one of our puppies, please fill out the questions fully and honestly, we will get back to you promptly.
🐾If we do not have puppies available, approved families will be notified being added to our waitlist in order of approved form. We will notify the waitlist first once we confirm pregnancies. Once delivery happens we will go down the waitlist, announce to each person of available pups, and deposits will be due within 2 days to hold your pick spot for those in spot 3 or above. Spots 1 & 2 are deposited before delivery and will be notified via email/phone/Facebook, deposits will be due within 2 days to hold pick spot. 🐾We have dozens of past puppy references ensure your receive a pup from a reputable breeder who practices safe breeding for the right reasons. Love of the breed and wanting to share that with the world.
Our Puppies: Raised in our home and Socialized with our children. Daily interactions and handling. Sound/noise exposure daily to help pups acclimate and desensitize to daily home noises. Grass potty beginner training using simulation grass potty trays in their pens as soon as they are mobile. This allows pups to understand the idea of potting in a specific spot as well as to identify the grass as where he should go making potty training with new families easier. Crate and stair beginners training, Name identification training, Neuro stimulation is done the from day 3-15 with practices such as Puppy culture used throughout 8 wks. We work very hard daily to have well socialized, family ready puppies with positive loving temperaments. We are with them most of the day and interacting all the time. They are also allowed out with the bigger dogs in a controlled manner so they can acclimate to bigger dogs. All pups receive full vet certification from our licensed DVM before leaving as well as 6 week shots and all necessary deworming at 2,4,6, and 8 weeks. They will come with puppy packages, contract committing us to provide a loving and healthy pup. Puppies come with AKC LIMITED REGISTRATION. We take releasing breeding rights very seriously therefore you can choose to request the secondary form if you wish to gain those rights.
Our Puppy Parents: Our moms Bianca and Scarlet; and dad Link. Our moms and dad are our family pets, not just breeding pairs. They are our family first and foremost. Dad Link is a 100 lbs medium golden, blocky head. Mom Bianca is 65 lbs, and is an English Cream Golden Retriever. Scarlet is 70 lbs, a dark red Golden. All adults are AKC Fully registered, genetically cleared/tested, vet health certified, have k9data links.
🐾We post regularly on our business page to share pictures and videos of pups and also do FaceTime/video calls with parents weekly. Picks are done in order of deposit spot starting week 4 and will be done using these methods. This way you can get to know puppies as they grow. 🐾We DO NOT allow outside visitors for the safety of all puppies. I’m sure we can agree their health and safety must always come first. There is no exception to this policy. You will meet your puppy in person at pick up. I will schedule your pick time with you during the week 3 call. A decision is to be made during the scheduled pick time as to which puppy you would like, or you will forfeit your spot and be moved to the end of the line unless previously discussed. This is so everyone else can pick as planned and maintain fair practices.
🐾Pick up is at 8 weeks but we don’t mind keeping a few extra days if discussed. To us, these pups are our babies too. We treasure them and vet families to ensure they find loving forever homes that are prepared to take on a puppy as well as a fully grown golden. We make it a point to be available to you for aid, advice, and the occasional babysitting for the life of your puppy.

Miscellaneous
WE WOULD LIKE YOU TO BE AWARE OF THE FOLLOWING TRAITS OF A GOLDEN:

Golden Retrievers need lots of exercise to keep them happy.❖ Goldens shed copious amounts of hair twice a year and smaller amounts throughout the year.❖ Goldens require regular brushing to keep the shedding and tangles under control.❖ Goldens need periodic grooming to prevent matting and hot spots, as well as ear infections.❖ Even with regular grooming, you will always have a bit of dog hair on your clothing and/or furniture.❖ Goldens mature slowly and some Goldens are forever puppies in attitude.❖ Golden Retriever puppies have a lot of energy and unless that energy is discharged they can become destructive. Having several toys is a huge part of avoiding the destructiveness.❖ Goldens are relatively high energy and require a great deal of your time and attention daily.❖ Goldens have a real need and want to carry things. Therefore, they will carry/chew and/or swallow whatever you leave on the floor.❖ Goldens need the company and companionship of people and are happiest when they are with people. They were developed as a breed to have this characteristic.❖ Even though the breed is noted for being good with children, they should not be left unsupervised with small children.❖ Even though the breed is noted for being calm and easy going, people-loving dogs, they are still dogs and behave like dogs.❖ Even though the breed is known for being well behaved and intelligent, good behavior from a Golden requires training on your part as well as positive treatment.❖ Some Goldens believe that they are more intelligent than their owners and can be quite stubborn.❖ Goldens do not come fully trained.❖ Goldens will become your best friend.❖ Goldens do not think like human beings.❖ Goldens learn by repetition so it is very important to be consistent when training.❖ Even though every precaution has been taken to prevent health problems, Goldens are subject to hip dysplasia, joint disease, epilepsy, heart disease, allergies, thyroid problems, cataracts, retinal atrophy, and cancer
I have read the “Golden Traits” and believe my family is prepared for this.*

I have reviewed my answers and have answered truthfully each question. *
If application is approved I will email/message you with availability, pricing, and expected future litters. Those approved are notified first once pregnancy is confirmed. If you choose to get your puppy elsewhere please let us know so we can remove you from our waitlist. If applying for current available pups, deposits are due upon approval to hold your pick spot. Waitlist is first come first serve and pick spots will go in order of deposits received. Puppy picks are done in order of pick spot for each gender. We reserve the right to deny any application at any time. Should we discover any information that we feel could be a potential risk to a puppy we have the right to revoke approval.
