Next Steps for Reserved Families


Scarlet × Rio litter announcement - Magnificent Golden RetrieversThank you for securing your spot on our Reservation List.
If you were lucky enough to be confirmed on our reservation list for our Autumn conceived litters, you can expect these next steps as we approach the due date and whelping of puppies granted to us by the recent Union of Scarlet and Rio:
Scarlet × Rio and Sasha × Kruse.

Step 1

Puppy Selection — Begins January 20

Starting January 20, families will be invited in order of their reservation number to visit and meet the Scarlet × Rio puppies. They will be approximately five and a half (5½) weeks old at that time.

You may choose your puppy during your visit. If you prefer to wait, your reservation will carry over to the next Sasha × Kruse litter (date to be announced).

Due at selection: Security deposit to hold your puppy until pickup day.

Step 2

Go-Home at 8 Weeks (February 6)

Puppies go home at eight (8) weeks. At that time, payment in full is due.

Timing is always subject to each puppy’s readiness and veterinary guidance.
We will confirm exact pickup windows with you as we get closer.
