Completing this application is a step in the process to acquiring a puppy from Heavenly Sunsets Golden Retrievers, but it does not guarantee you will get a puppy from Heavenly. While it's unlikely, the breeder reserves the right to refuse any placement at any time.
If this application is approved, you'll be notified by text and be required to send a $500 non-refundable deposit to commit to a puppy. The deposit will go towards the full purchase price of $3000. The amount due on pickup would be $2500. Please note our deposit policy: if you make a deposit, you are committing to buy a puppy from the current litter or future litter. The deposit is transferrable...if we do not have a puppy for you in the planned litter or you disagree with the choice of puppy, then you can wait for a future litter. Sometimes this occurs if not enough females or males were born to fullfill your wants.
From time to time we may decide to keep a puppy out of a litter. We reserve the right to keep a puppy from any litter. This may mean that certain puppies may not be available while we decide if we will keep the said puppy or not.
Puppies will go to their new homes at 8 weeks. It is critical for their social development that the litter departs within a reasonable timeframe. Puppies must be picked up within 7 days unless other written arrangements are made.
If you are commited to a litter, you may visit the puppies for (one) 45 minute session if our Vet agrees with an open kennel at the time. We do not want to put our puppies at risk if Parvo is high at the time. If we have a closed kennel, we will do Zoom calls.
We do Service dog placement tests around 7 weeks old. Service & breeder pups are picked first. After your visit, you can give me your top 3 picks. Based on your application, our conversations, puppy interactions with you and you with them, we place the puppies. I do my best to get the best pup for you. I do have final say on picks as I know the puppies very well. It usually works out beautifully. We do pray for the health of your puppy and which one goes to whom.
Thank you for your time. As you can see, we are serious about who gets our puppies. Don't hesitate to contact us if you have questions.
