How It Works
From first hello to go-home day
My process is simple and personal, and it’s built around one thing: getting the match right. Here’s exactly what to expect.
- 1
Learn about my program
Read about my dogs, how I raise puppies, and what life with an English Golden is really like. Bring your questions — I love the good ones.
- 2
Fill out the application — completely
Tell me about your home, your experience, and what you’re hoping for. Answer every question; an incomplete application is the one thing I won’t consider.
- 3
I read it myself
Every application is read by me, personally. I’m looking for fit, not order of arrival.
- 4
We talk on the phone
After your application, you and I talk. Once we’ve done both, I’ll tell you whether you’ve been approved. It’s that direct.
- 5
Hold your place
Approved families hold their place with a $500 non-refundable deposit by check or Zelle. I never take a deposit from anyone I haven’t approved.
- 6
Watch them grow
Video calls start when puppies are three weeks old. Come meet them in person, by appointment, from five weeks. As they grow, I match temperaments to families.
- 7
Go-home day
Your puppy leaves my home vet-examined and vaccinated, with your contract, a toy, potty bags, and a little blanket that smells like mom and the litter. The balance is paid in cash at pickup.

For the life of your dog
You’ll have my number. Use it — for advice, for questions, and for the puppy pictures I genuinely want to see.
