Once
you have decided that you are interested in adopting a Harmony Goldens'
Retriever you can contact us by email, telephone or snail mail. We will
answer any and all questions to help you to make an informed decision.
Should you decide that you would like to be considered as a home for one
of our puppies we will ask you to supply us with some personal
information. This information includes information about you, your
family, your home, your lifestyle, why you decided on a Golden
Retrievers, how the pup will be raised, who will look after the puppy or
what arrangement you have made if you are working and away from your
home through the day. We will also require information regarding what
your expectations of a puppy are, what you are looking for in
personality, size, coloring, and overall expectations of a Golden
Retriever. Although these questions seem particularly personal, we do
need to know where our puppies are going and how they will live. Each of
our puppies is very special to us and we are careful to select homes
which we feel are going to provide the safe, loving, lifetime home
environment which we desire for our puppies. In turn, we will give you
comprehensive information about us in order that we may have a solid,
lifetime, working relationship for the benefit of your new puppy. We
ask that you complete our
Puppy Questionnaire.
Once
this information is provided and we have reviewed it, we will make our
decision regarding placing a puppy with you. If we decide that we would
like to place one of our puppies in your home we require that you
complete our
Application Agreement (click to go to Agreement) and forward
two signed copies together with your deposit which represents your
commitment to adopting one of our puppies. Please note that deposits
are non-refundable should you change your mind for any reason.
Deposits are refundable if we are unable to provide you with a puppy
from the litter you requested or from a future litter that will be born
within a reasonable time frame from when you expected your puppy. Once
we receive your deposit we contact you to let you know that it is
received.
At this point, we will stay in
contact with you. If your puppy is not yet born you will be advised
when it is born. We will keep you posted on shipping arrangements if
your puppy is being flown to you. Approximately four weeks prior to
receiving your puppy you will receive from us our puppy package which
includes a list of things you will need for your new puppy, feeding
instructions, and helpful hints, as well as two copies of our Agreement
of Sale and the AKC Non-Breeding Agreement. THESE MUST BE SIGNED AND
RETURNED TO US PRIOR TO US SHIPPING YOUR PUPPY. For puppies which are
being flown we require final payment three weeks prior to the expected
delivery date of the puppy.
We are always available to answer all of your questions. As well, our
website will from time to time have updated pictures of the puppies as
they grow. If you require more information regarding our requirements
for perspective homes, please email us.
