Frequently Asked Questions

 Golden Retriever puppies go home at 8 weeks old. 

 Yes, all parents are genetically tested through Embark, and we prioritize responsible breeding for temperament, structure, and health. 

Golden Retriever puppies are $1,500 with limited AKC registration and a spay/neuter agreement. We do not offer FULL AKC, no exceptions. 

Our guarantee covers genetic health conditions that result in the death of your puppy within the first year of life. This includes serious hereditary issues detectable by a licensed veterinarian and confirmed through testing.

We do not cover illnesses or injuries caused by accidents, neglect, parasites, or preventable infections.
We also do not cover breed-predisposed cancers (such as hemangiosarcoma or lymphoma), as these are unfortunately common and often unpredictable in Golden Retrievers.

To keep your guarantee valid, the buyer must:

• Take the puppy to a licensed veterinarian within 72 hours of pickup or delivery
   
• Keep the puppy up to date on all vaccinations and regular vet care
   
• Provide a clean, safe, and loving home
   
• Spay or neuter by the age your veterinarian recommends, if not already done
   

If a licensed veterinarian confirms a life-ending genetic condition within the first year, we require:

• A copy of the official diagnosis
   
• A necropsy (in the event of death)
   
• Veterinary records showing proper care
  If the condition qualifies, we will offer a replacement puppy from a future litter, as availability allows. We do not offer cash refunds.
   

Each buyer will receive a copy of our one-year health guarantee by email.

Need delivery beyond our local area? We offer safe, USDA-certified ground transport through our own service: Hensley Pet Transport.

Puppies travel with care in a climate-controlled vehicle, with cozy bedding, regular potty breaks, and one-on-one attention.

We charge $1.25 per mile, round trip, based on the distance from our location in Wallingford, KY to your address.

📍 Example:
If you’re 200 miles away, the total fee would be:
200 miles x 2 (round trip) = 400 miles
400 miles x $1.25 = $500 transport fee
