How We Raise Our Puppies.
Bringing an Christie's Golden Retriever into your family is a careful, transparent process. We walk alongside you from the initial application to long after your puppy comes home.
Application & Review
Our process begins with a detailed application to ensure our puppies are placed in environments where they will thrive. We look for families committed to the physical and emotional well-being of a Golden Retriever.
Apply NowReservation & Waitlist
Once approved, a non-refundable reservation fee secures your position on our master waitlist. We will notify you when a pregnancy is confirmed and again when the puppies are born.
Puppy Development
For the first 8 weeks, puppies are raised in our home using Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) and Puppy Culture protocols. You will receive weekly updates, photos, and videos of their progress.
Temperament Testing & Allocation
At 7 weeks, puppies undergo formal temperament testing. Based on these results and your application profile, we expertly match you with the puppy whose personality best fits your family dynamic.
Gotcha Day
At 8 weeks old, your puppy is ready to go home. They will have had their first vaccinations, a thorough vet exam, and a microchip. We provide a comprehensive starter kit and lifelong breeder support.
Lifelong Commitment
Our relationship doesn't end on Gotcha Day. We offer lifetime support and a strict return contract. Our dogs always have a home with us if unforeseen circumstances arise.
