Step 1:
Application

If you are interested in reserving a puppy for an upcoming litter, fill out our Puppy Application.

Our application process requires you to agree with our contract ahead of time. Please be sure to read it completely and ask any questions prior to completing your application. We are always here to help you make the best decision for you and your future pet.

Step 2:
Approved!

Yay, you have been approved! Ready to make a reservation and get on our Master Reservation List?

This requires a non-refundable deposit of $500 (five-hundred dollars) and adds you to the next open position on our master reservation list. Deposits are paid by Venmo or cash. When you submit your deposit, you’ll also let us know if you prefer a male, female, or either-gender-puppy. Read more about our reservation process here.

If you are not ready to place a deposit, just ask to be added to our contact list. We will reach out to the people on this list if we ever have available puppies.

Step 3:
Male / Female
Puppies Assigned

When the puppies are two weeks old, we work through our Master Reservation List to assign people (in order) to a generic male or female puppy slot (e.g. Male Puppy #1, Female Puppy #1, etc). If we still have puppies available after going through our Master Reservation List, new applicants can reserve an available gender puppy with a $500 non-refundable, non-transferable deposit.

Step 4:
Puppy Selection

At six weeks old we have completed temperament testing and early training. We will work with you to match the perfect puppy for you! By now we have spent lots of time with each puppy and are able to tell you a lot about their personalities and traits. If time and schedules allow, you may be able to visit our home to meet the puppies and make your selection. We will work through the genders in order and allow people to select their exact puppy—how exciting! We’ll make sure you are well informed and prepared to bring your Boise Goldens puppy home before the big day!

Step 5:
Puppy Pick-Up Day

Puppy pick up day is a very special day. We will be contacting you and scheduling a time that works best for you to pick up your new puppy.  We will then provide you with a "puppy folder" and all sorts of other wonderful information and gifts to get you off to the best start possible. Your puppy will be freshly bathed, very familiar with a crate, and ready to become part of your family! Each puppy comes with:

• Dewclaws removed

• A first vet visit with a clean bill of health

• First deworming

• First set of puppy vaccines - your vet will continue the series

• Microchipping completed

• Puppy vet record

• AKC limited registration paperwork

• Baggie of current food

• 10 day supply of NuVet vitamins (our required vitamins per our contract)

We are often asked what you should bring. Some good items to bring to your pick-up day include:

• collar

• leash

• crate

• towel (it’s common for puppies to experience motion sickness in the car)

• water and food dish depending on how far you will drive home

• puppy pads for a long drive

• bully stick

• chew toys

• your phone and/or camera to capture the special moment

• cash or cashier’s check to pay the remaining balance
