Getting Your Puppy Process
Wisteria Goldens has a procedure for buying, picking, shipping, and picking up one of our English Cream Golden Retriever Puppies. We are often asked what this procedure is or what is the next step after deciding you want a Wisteria Golden puppy. So, here is more information to share with you – we hope you find it helpful.
Buying Your Puppy:
- If you are interested in a puppy, please fill out the inquiry form.
- This helps us know more about you and what you are looking for in a puppy. It also provides all the information needed for the contract and getting your puppy to you.
- Read our contract so that you know what we are mutually agreeing upon in entering this agreement together
- Once you decide you would like to move forward with getting a Wisteria Golden puppy, we will complete the contract with the pertinent details and email you the contract. This email will include the instructions for returning the signed contract and sending your $500 non-refundable deposit, per the terms of the contract.
- We will also email “Bringing Your Puppy Home” information in pdf format to help you prepare for the arrival of your new puppy.
- Payment in full is due at 6 weeks, after you choose your puppy.
Time to Pick Your Puppy:
We take pictures of your English Cream Golden while growing up to help you decide on the look you like. These pictures are taken when they are newly born, and again at 3, 4, 5, & 6 weeks of age. We provide detailed information about the puppies personalities at 6 weeks. You choose your puppy on the day they turn 6 weeks old. We will take pictures the day before and send by that evening to give you time to look them over and talk about it as a family. We are always available by phone or email to answer any detailed questions you have to help match the right puppy for you and your family.
We start calling the 1st pick families the morning the puppies are 6 weeks old and go in order of the deposits received. It is important that you be available that day or make prior arrangements as to your 1st, 2nd and 3rd choice, so we can choose for you, if necessary. All families are very excited on “Pick Your Puppy Day,” and families that have later picks are anxiously awaiting their turn. We try very hard to keep the picking process moving quickly.
While you pick you puppy at 6 weeks, remember — Puppies don’t go to their new homes until 8 weeks of age.
Shipping Your Puppy:
We plan on shipping puppies on the Friday after they turn 8 weeks old. We sometimes have to adjust this day depending on what day the puppies are born and the weather conditions.
***PLEASE NOTE: While we try very hard to accommodate families schedules, please keep in mind that we are trying to coordinate many families, in many different areas, as well as make it a priority to book a straight through flight whenever possible for the comfort of the puppy. We ship our puppies from Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) which is approximately 5 ½ hours away. We ask that families be flexible and willing to work with us to get their puppy to them. Your help with this is MUCH appreciated.
The crate we ship the puppy in is yours to keep. We also provide a crate liner and toy in order to provide cozy comfort for your puppy while traveling.
AKC registration paper, original shot records, and microchip registration information, etc will be mailed separately and should arrive within a week after you receive your puppy.
Picking Up Your Puppy:
In order to work around our shipping schedule and other families picking up, we have found it beneficial to schedule a time to pick up your puppy that accommodates both our schedules. We know you are excited to pick up your new puppy and want to give you our undivided attention to share information about your puppy with you. This works great when families arrive on time because when have more than one excited family and puppy, it can create a bit of chaos. 
While we LOVE dogs (obviously) and would love to see any other dogs you have, we ask that you not bring them to the ranch. I am sure your dog is very healthy, however our vet has advised us “strongly” in not allowing this. We don’t want to offend or hurt anyone’s feelings, but must follow the advice of our vet in order to keep everyone happy and healthy.
AKC registration paper, original shot records, and microchip registration information, etc will be provided at the time of pick-up.
Additional Information:
Your English Cream Golden Retriever Puppy has been raised on Life’s Abundance Dog Food. In order to keep stress to a minimum during transitioning to a new home, we recommend not switching dog foods. We feel this is so important we ship an 8 lb bag of dog food to you before the arrival of your puppy if shipping your puppy to you or will provide a bag to take home if picking up.
**PLEASE NOTE: We are more than happy to keep your puppy until 9 weeks of age. If it is necessary for the puppy to stay beyond this age, there will be a $10 per day boarding fee or check out our Puppy Prep Academy Program.
