Acquiring a Puppy
Thank you for your interest in Maywood Goldens!
BEFORE applying, please carefully read our Puppy Buyer Expectations, Puppy Buyer FAQs, and Puppy Contract (below).
Please Note: We do maintain a limited wait list for our litters, and wait can be up to one year or more.
You will not be added to the wait list until we have received and approved a current Puppy Application.
The process:
Congratulations! You've decided a Maywood Puppy is right for you! Here's how our process works:
- Contact us to let us know you are interested in an upcoming litter. In your email, please introduce yourself and give us a little background information, or we may assume it is spam and not respond! It is very helpful if you also include your completed Puppy Buyer Application up front. This information helps us determine homes that meet our qualifications for a puppy. You WILL NOT be considered for the wait list or receive breeding updates before we receive the Puppy Buyer Application. Beyond that, it is the first step to helping us to match the right puppy to you and your family.
- If you don't hear from us in a few days, Follow Up to make sure your email didn't get lost!
- We will review your application and let you know if we feel you could be a good match for one of our puppies. From there, depending on litter timing, we will request a phone interview.
- Once the phone interview is complete and we have approved you for a puppy, we will request a deposit to hold your place on our waitlist.
PLEASE NOTE: Buyers do not choose their puppy. Puppies are not placed based on color, size, or order on a waiting list. The only size we breed for is standard and the only color we breed for is Gold, as we feel there are much more important factors to consider. Puppies are carefully evaluated over 8+ weeks and matched with families. Once added to our wait list, a phone interview and $250 deposit is required.
