Getting Started

Here at 4 Paws and Family Golden Retrievers, our aim is to provide superior puppies and quality service!

Before a puppy can be reserved, we request that all our prospective puppy parents fill out a puppy application form. This not only ensures that our puppies go to the BEST homes possible, but it also helps us find the perfect match for YOU and our puppies!

If you are interested in reserving one of our sweet pups, please click on the document icon below to access our online Puppy Application.

We will contact your for a brief phone interview after we receive your completed Puppy Application.

Praise From Our Clients

Cheryl

My puppy is from Sophia’s first liter. I can’t express enough what an amazing mom Sophia is and how wonderful my puppy is. Sophia knows how to be a mom...she was made to mother!! My puppy is calm, confident, affectionate, silly, content, and most important-obedient. She has been a charm to train and we love showing off our skills! My life is better because of my Bella!

Katherine & Courtney

Our family will never forget the first night that we spent as a family with the little white ball of love and fluff, that we named Sunny. We will be forever grateful to Linda and Marvin for choosing our family to love and care for Sunny , and instilling in us an undeniable love for this charming breed.

Megan

Linda and her family provide their dogs and puppies with the best nutrition, training and vet care possible. All of their animals are cherished family members and the puppies are raised with best practice and scientifically proven methods. I highly recommend this breeder without any hesitation!
