Welcome to Diamond Valley Goldens

Your first step is to complete the application questionnaire (see Apply Here?). That helps us know your preferences of gender, timing and shade of golden (blonde-medium golden or red) and more about your home and family. I will send email announcements after they are born regarding relevant availability. Then it's time for the gender specific pick/order deposit. Specific puppies are not chosen until their personalities are emerging and they engage with prospective families. We feel it's important to meet and connect with them individually and get our input. When pups are 6 weeks old, we'll set face to face appointments in order of deposit to choose your puppy. The balance is due when it is time for them to go home at 8 weeks, after their final vet check. Be sure to add our email address as a trusted contact so your spam filter doesn't delay our announcement emails!

Yes, we provide a written health guarantee for all of our puppies.

There is no obligation or fee to submit our application questionnaire. This will give you priority updates before they are public, based on your preferences of timing, shade of golden and gender. We will email announcements when there are pups available for deposit that would suit your family. You can change your timing and preferences anytime by simply replying to our announcement email.

These are various purebred registry types. Our dogs are AKC, which stands for American Kennel Club. AKC has the most historical ancestry records, back to the 1800's for goldens, spot checked and verified by DNA. AKC Limited registration is the most common & best for companion and service dogs. Full AKC registration includes breeding/show rights and is rarely granted for our at-home litters.

We accept Zelle or cash. Deposits are typically paid through Zelle.

Generally no. That is why we don't accept deposits before birth. When you deposit, we make a commitment to you that you will definitely be getting your puppy and will turn away other families. We will not consider other inquiries once we take a deposit on the availability. If you have to change your plans that means your puppy does not have someone else lined up, so we'd need to start over in our search for the right family. If you give us reasonable notice and another good home is found for the pup right away, we will often consider returning a portion of your deposit minus any additional expenses for advertising, extended search, etc. If we ourselves have to cancel due to some unforeseen circumstance, we will refund 100% promptly.

We prefer local families or those willing to come meet us face to face. Travel can be traumatic for a puppy so we want to be sure it is as seamless as possible. 

If we missed something that you and others would like to know, please reach out. We are generally very responsive by email. Diamondvalleygoldens@gmail.com
