Norman’s Goldens application form!

Thank you for your interest in adopting a puppy from us!

This application is to get to know our potential families better to ensure that you get the best friend you're looking for, and the puppy gets the best home that it deserves.

These questions also serve as a great way to get you thinking about all that comes with getting a puppy. Each question is very important for you to answer honestly.
Please read all of the following carefully and complete each section of the form.

Our puppies are raised in our home and get daily interaction with us, our children, and our other dogs. All of our parents are tested through embark DNA, OFA and/or Pennhip tested and cleared.
From 3-16 days old, they receive ENS training that has been proven for many years to provide tremendous brain stimulation and health benefits. Puppies are dewormed at 2, 4, 6, and 8 weeks old. All puppies will have a cleared health certificate from the vet and up to date on all shots at 8 weeks old. All puppies go home with a care package to help them ease into their new homes. Along with lifetime Breeder support from us.
Throughout their 8 weeks with us, they will get to experience many different sounds, textures, and of course lots of love. We love to send our new puppy owners many pictures and videos so that around week 6, you can make your selection of which puppy you prefer. Puppy picks are based on order of deposits and are conducted via FaceTime ONLY! There are no home visits until it is time to pick up your puppy at 8 weeks old, absolutely zero exceptions. Please do not ask.

Adoption fee is $2,000. There is a non refundable deposit of $50 to be placed on the waitlist once breeding has occurred and a second deposit of $250 due when puppies are born and we can guarantee you a puppy. ($300 total for deposit.)

We only offer limited AKC registration, no breeding rights except to preapproved and reputable breeders.

Our contract does require a spay/neuter agreement.

Deposits are not accepted until application has been reviewed and approved. We accept 6 deposits per waiting list, 3 of each gender. In the event that not enough of each gender is born, you would have the choice of getting the opposite gender or transferring your deposit to the next waiting list. If your application is not selected before puppies are born, it very well could be after puppies are born if we have more born than expected. Please know that nothing is guaranteed.

Once we receive your application, it will be thoroughly reviewed. If it is approved, you will be emailed more information about our expected litters and waiting lists. Once we have agreed upon your spot on our waitlist, we will also send you a copy of our contract and deposit form to be completed. Only approved applications wil be contacted. After the litter is born, we will approve more applications if more puppies are available.
Please feel free to contact us for further information or questions.
