Terms of use

This site is not a shop

Nothing here can be bought. There is no checkout and no payment is taken at any point. Submitting an application is a request to start a conversation — it does not reserve a puppy, it does not create a contract, and it does not oblige us to sell you a dog. Equally, it does not oblige you to buy one.

The puppy contract is separate

If we agree to place a puppy with you, you will sign a separate written agreement covering the price, the deposit, the health guarantee, the spay/neuter terms and the return-to-breeder clause. That document governs the sale. Nothing on this website overrides it, and nothing on this website is a substitute for reading it.

Accuracy

We keep the dogs’ details, clearance results and litter information as current as we can, and every clearance is transcribed from a certificate. Mistakes are still possible. If something matters to your decision, ask us to show you the certificate — you can also verify hip and elbow results yourself on the OFA website using the registry numbers we publish.

Availability changes quickly. A puppy shown as available may be reserved by the time you read the page.

Photographs and text

The photographs and writing on this site belong to Golden Pup Kennel. Please do not reuse them to advertise other dogs — it happens more than you would think, and it is one of the ways puppy scams are run.

Scams

We will never ask for payment by gift card, cryptocurrency or wire transfer, and we will never ask for money before speaking to you. If someone using our name and our photographs asks you for any of those things, call (202) 643-8872. We would much rather hear about it.
