Registration

All Heavenly Sunsets puppies are registerable through AKC with Limited Registration.

Full Registration with breeding rights may be available to select homes at a higher price and must be approved in advance.

Pricing & Deposit

Puppies are $3,000 total.

• A $500 non-refundable deposit is required to join our commitment list.

• The remaining balance is due at puppy pickup.

• Deposits are transferable to another Heavenly litter if availability allows.

Your place on the commitment list is determined by the date we receive your deposit. Lists are organized by:

• Male or female

• Light or dark coat

Please understand that we cannot guarantee a specific litter. Timing depends on pregnancy confirmation, litter size, and the number of males and females born.

Visiting the Puppies

If our kennel is open, families may visit once around 7 weeks of age.

Whether we are open or closed is determined by our veterinarian based on local communicable disease risks (such as Parvo or Distemper).

If we are a closed kennel, we will schedule a Zoom call so you can still meet your puppy virtually.

Puppy Selection Process

Families may submit their top three puppy preferences. However, we have final say in placement.

We thoughtfully match puppies based on:

• Your lifestyle and goals

• Your needs and preferences

• Temperament testing

• Our firsthand knowledge of each puppy

• Sometimes… a puppy choosing you during your visit

We know our puppies very well and work hard to place each one in the home where they will thrive. Our families consistently tell us they love the puppy they receive.

Service & Therapy Prospects

Puppies selected as Service, Therapy, or Facility prospects are just that — prospects.

At 7 weeks, we conduct temperament testing to help determine suitability for certain roles. However, we cannot guarantee specific traits or long-term temperament. Puppies continue developing after they leave at 8 weeks, and environment and training play a large role in their growth.

We do our very best to guide you toward the right fit.

A Note About Golden Retrievers

Golden Retrievers are wonderful family dogs, but they were originally bred for hunting and retrieving. Many are naturally higher energy, especially during their younger years.

Most Goldens mature between 2–3 years of age.
Some will remain more active, while others may be calmer.

While we do our best to match you with a puppy that fits your preferences, temperament is influenced by:

• Parent genetics

• Early upbringing (first 16 weeks)

• Ongoing socialization and training

• Exercise and structure in your home

Owning a Golden requires time, patience, and consistent training. They are not “perfect” right away — and they won’t learn without guidance.

However, when you put in the work, a Golden Retriever will often become one of the best dogs you will ever have.
