We anticipate having puppies available in the Spring/Summer of 2025 and Fall/Christmas of 2025. If you are interested in a puppy, please fill out an application.

The Miniature Golden Retriever, also known as the Petite Golden, Mini Golden, and Mini Retriever, is a Designer Breed that has been crossbred to produce a healthier dog with the happy people-loving temperament of the Golden Retriever, the small size and sweet cuddly personality of the King Charles Spaniel and Cocker Spaniel, and the intelligent temperament and low shedding coat of the Poodle. We love the Mini Golden for their sweet and happy temperament, smaller size, and good health.

Our Miniature Golden Retrievers range in size from 25-45 pounds. Occasionally we may have smaller puppies maturing at closer to 15 pounds and larger puppies maturing closer to 50 pounds. We will do our best to make an estimate of the adult size of your puppy, but ultimately we can NOT guarantee adult sizes.

Our Mini Goldens are $3800 which includes sales tax

DEPOSIT: To reserve your spot on our Reservation List, we require a non-refundable $300 deposit which is applied to the price of your puppy. Your deposit can be paid either via Zelle, cash, or by mailing a check. Once we have received your application and deposit, you will be placed on our reservation list. Reservation List/Pick Order is on a first-come, first-serve basis. We begin accepting deposits once a breeding has been confirmed. A Mini Golden Retriever whelps a smaller litter than a Full-Sized Golden Retriever. Due to this fact, we limit deposits to 5 total before a litter is born, two males, two females, and one no preference. These five spots fill up fast.

However, once a litter is whelped, we will adjust accordingly and accept deposits for any additional puppies born. We will email notice of additional spots available, if any, based on the order/date of the applications we received. From this point, additional spots on the Reservation List will be filled based on the order in which Deposits are received. Once we have alerted you to additional puppies available, you must submit a deposit to secure your place on the List.

If you are interested in a future litter, please sign up for our email updates or check back when you are ready for a new puppy. We as the Breeder reserve pick of the litter on all litters. We also reserve the right to return a deposit without penalty for any reason.

PAYMENT OPTIONS: For the balance due, please pay by Zelle, cash, or check. We will accept personal checks/money orders if payment in full is made by six weeks of age. Payment in FULL is required BEFORE your puppy goes home.

Yes. Our puppies are guaranteed free from any debilitating, life threatening genetic defect for the first 2 years of life. Learn More

Puppy Culture is a program developed by Jane Killion, professional dog trainer and breeder. It begins at 3 days old and continues to 12 weeks of age. The program includes early neurological stimulation and passive and active enrichment exercises that are scientifically proven to greatly improve outcomes for puppies. Also included are manding training, early potty training, crate training, practice walking on leash and a number of socialization activities.

We love Puppy Culture and highly recommend it to our puppy families! We will do our best to follow the program to 8 weeks of age and strongly encourage our families to continue through to the complete 12 weeks of training and socialization activities. You’ll find that there is a difference to Puppy Culture puppies. Following the program is worth the investment and is a lot of fun too! When you’ve finished the 12-week program, there are more books and resources available from the creators of Puppy Culture.

Yes, we are happy to welcome visitors to meet us and our dogs. However, as a rule, we only offer home visits as part of the adoption process when we have puppies available or spots available on our reservation list. Because we are a family breeder and do not have a kennel or kennel-type facilities, we limit visits to our home.

We understand and support the need and responsibility of a prospective buyer to research/interview the breeder they are considering for their new puppy. So, to meet both our needs for safety and privacy within our own home and your needs for transparency and research, we have prospective buyers complete an application and a phone interview before inviting them to our home.

We may utilize video calls to give prospective puppy families an idea of how our dogs are kept and their personalities. All visits are by appointment only, and we will practice safety precautions to protect our puppies from exposure to any disease or contagion. We do not allow visits before puppies are at least six weeks old.

For those that cannot easily drive here to pick up your puppy, there are a few different options besides driving.

• Delivery to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (Sea-Tac). We will meet the buyer at Sea-Tac and deliver the puppy to you at the departures/ticketing counter for your Airline. You can fly in, pick up your puppy and fly back home. The buyer is responsible for the purchase of a pet carrier that meets their airline’s under-seat size and specification requirements. We can make suggestions on pet carriers we have used in the past. We can help advise you on this process. We’ve flown with puppies a lot and know the drill.


• Personal delivery to you at your city’s airport. The cost for personal delivery is generally between $750 and $950, depending on cost of airfare. Depending on our availability we either offer this service ourselves or we refer you to our trusted Puppy Nanny Nate.


• Puppy Delivery Depending on how close you are to us, we'll drive and meet you PART WAY to deliver your puppy. Delivery fee and availability is determined on a case by case basis and distance traveled. This is only an option for those Buyers who are a reasonable distance away from us.
  
  
  • This is also a good option for our buyers in Canada. We can meet you at the U.S./Canada border and you can cross back into Canada with your pup. We can help advise you on this process.

Puppies go to their new homes at 8 weeks of age. If you cannot receive your puppy on the 8-week mark just let me know and we can work out an alternative pickup date. Due to limited space for older puppies we do charge for boarding after your puppy is 8-weeks-old.

YES

Puppies receive a physical examination and a fecal sample is taken by our veterinarian to check for parasites, and if necessary are treated, before they are cleared for sale. 

Puppies receive a Neo-Par (parvo) vaccination at six weeks of age. Your puppy will need a series of puppy vaccinations to develop full immunity to Parvo and several other diseases affecting dogs. Consult your Vet on a vaccination schedule for your new puppy.

***Please educate yourself on the dangers of over vaccination in dogs. While it is imperative to fully vaccinate your puppy there is mounting data suggesting adult dogs receiving yearly booster shots are over vaccinated putting them at risk for skin problems, allergic reactions and autoimmune disease. In addition, all studies looking at longevity of immunity to Parvo, Distemper, and Adenovirus suggest that dogs retain lifelong immunity from their puppy shots and thus adult boosters provide only risk and no benefit Source

We feed our puppies Purina Pro Plan Dry Dog Food. This formula is highly rated and approved by our vet.

In addition to kibble our dogs are fed healthy human foods and raw foods. A recent study found that puppies raised on raw food diets had a decreased risk of allergies as an adult. This same study found that if a puppy had 20% of its kibble diet supplemented with raw foods they enjoyed the same reduced risk. Source

We do not feed dog foods with Peas or Lentils nor Grain-Free dog food as advised by our Vet. Please research the FDA’s investigation into the potential link between certain diets and Canine Dilated Cardiomyopathy. Source

• Puppy feeding schedule. We feed our puppies 3 times a day and follow the suggested daily serving amount based on their weight. This info is found on the back of all dog food bags. A regular feeding schedule will help with potty training your puppy.
• We feed our adult dogs twice a day.

No. Dewclaws have a function and purpose. When they are removed there are 2 sets of muscle bundles that become atrophied from disuse. In high performance sports dogs the removal of dewclaws has been linked to chronic carpal arthritis. PDF
