Our step-by-step guide to bringing your puppy home!

We require a $300 non-refundable deposit to reserve your spot in a litter. Reservations are honored on a first-come, first-served basis.

Puppy Selection

Once the puppies are 5 weeks old, we schedule visits for families to meet the puppies and make their pick of the litter!

Pick-up Appointment

Puppies can go to their new homes at 8 weeks of age, after they have received their first vaccination and a wellness exam from our Veterinarian.

We ask that all our potential Indiana Goldens families fill out our puppy application.

Happy Families

“We are so happy to have this guy in our family-his name is now Augustus, known to our neighborhood as Auggie Doggie.  He never met a dog or a person he did not like and want to play with, and is a smart and fast learner who loves to observe the world around him.  We continue to believe that the answer to the eternal question of Who’s a good boy?  Is most certainly Auggie! Thanks for giving him a great start, and for bringing so much love and excitement into our lives!”

David and Susan Beck

“Hi guys. I thought you might like to see Keeva one year old now. She is the most affectionate of all the Goldens we have had. She’s smart, loves to talk to you and has been a breeze to train. If only she would give me more room in the bed!”

Jim and Caoimhe Reynolds
