ABOUT US
We are located in Parma Idaho, which is approximately 35+ minutes from Boise Idaho.
I just love Golden Retrievers, I've had and met so many that are such good, happy, beautiful dogs that are just great with kids and families and are so smart. That is my top goal in the pups we breed, that they be great companions and fit into your family doing and being part of the things you like to do and loving you all the while. We have had some amazing puppies as you can see in the pictures and comments from customers who have gotten our puppies, we are grateful to those customers and all their referrals, I love to hear how your pups are doing.
With proper training, you will get a great dog and best friend. I encourage you to read up on the breed prior to purchase and learn all you can to make sure a golden is a good fit for you and your family. I hope for all puppies to go to a family that is ready to love them for the length of their life time which averages 10-12 years but can be longer or shorter (sadly, cancer is the #1 killer of goldens, even if they come from great genetics and healthy lines). Goldens are amazingly loyal and loving dogs, they thrive on positive training and do not do well with harsh methods.
PUPS COME WITH
Our golden retriever puppies come with Health Form, age appropriate vaccinations and wormings, Health Guarantee/Warranty, little blanket with mom's scent, and of course they come pre-loved. Limited AKC papers available, upon request, for most litters (request must be made when placing deposit), I very rarely give Full AKC, but you are welcome to inquire.
PICK UP or DELIVERY OPTIONS
I allow puppies to go home between 7-8 weeks of age (6 weeks if you are comfortable with it and able to give them the xtra attention needed). Most folks pick up at my home. We can possibly deliver or meet part way (OR, WA, NV, WY, UT, MT, CO, CA, AZ, other?) and both these options depend on our availability and are an additional fee based on time and distance. Once a delivery date is agreed upon by us and you, it is set, and if you later decide it doesn't work for you, and we are unable to make another day work, you will need to come entire way for pick-up. The agreed upon fee must be pre-paid atleast 7 days prior to delivery date. If you decide delivery date no longer works and we aren't available to deliver on another day, the prepaid delivery fee will be deducted from your remaining balance when you pick up your puppy. Please contact me about possible delivery options to see if we can make it work. Puppies can also be easily and conveniently flown as carry-on with some airlines, so I can meet you at Boise Idaho airport if you would like to fly home with your puppy and you make those arrangements (make sure you check with me about day and time of flight you are considering, so I can make sure I'm available to bring pup to airport or hotel). Also, we can possibly fly the pup to you for additional fee or you can find your own flight nanny if we aren't available, just contact me about the arrangements so we can work out payment. I can also board puppy for 20/day if you are unable to pick up by 8 weeks old, but pickup day must be set and boarding fee pre-paid.
FOOD
I now feed pups Purina Pro Plan Puppy chicken & rice mixed with Kirkland Puppy chicken, rice & vegetable and encourage you to get a bag of one (you don't need both) or the other ahead of time and you are welcome to slowly transition them to your preferred food or continue them on one of these.
PRICE/PAYMENT
Current Price: Males 1750, Females 1850. (Subject to change at any time. Deposit locks in current price)
A 250 nonrefundable deposit (which goes towards total price) is required to hold a puppy. Deposit is currently only accepted in cash by appointment, Venmo, (MUST be as friends so I don't get charged fee), Zelle, or personal check made out to Holli Johnson and mailed, contact me for info/address.
Remaining Balance on puppy is due in CASH when you take your puppy home.
Deposits can be transferred to a future litter, one time, if special circumstances come up. To do so, you must add an additional 250 nonrefundable deposit to your original deposit when you inform me that you are unable to get a pup from original litter. You will also lose your order of choice and will be added to the next litter into the end of line-up if any deposits are already on that litter). Also note, that price for next available litter may be different so puppy price will increase to that litter's price if it is higher. Deposit is forfeited if you do not request the transfer and add the additional deposit at time of transferring from the original litter deposit was placed on.
If you have an early deposit down on and upcoming litter and if pregnancy doesn't occur, or not enough of the gender you want are born, you can switch to the other gender (if available) or to next available litter, and will be put after any deposits already on that litter. In these instances, you will not need to add an additional deposit.
CHOOSING YOUR PUPPY
Choices are made in order of deposit received. I try to have those with earlier deposits pick as early as possible, preferably by around 3-4 weeks old. I prefer choices be made from photos and video clips and I can also do video call through Facebook Messenger where I can show you pups and answer questions all at once if needed. If you live close enough and if my schedule allows, we can set up a time to pick in person. If you do come, please wear very clean shoes and do not pet or feed our dogs or puppies without prior hand Sanitation and our presence and permission. And please, even though we'd love to meet them, do not bring other pets unless you are leaving them in your vehicle. We thank you for understanding how important it is to keep everyone healthy.
