Puppy Adoption Details

---

         Golden Retrievers are beautiful pets with an enormous capacity for love and loyalty and are a wonderful addition to a family or individual who will return their love.   All our puppies are Purebred and go home with AKC (American Kennel Club) Registration papers.  The Total cost = $2,500 + 6% Vermont sales tax.  A Non-Refundable $250 Deposit at the time of order will lock in the price, confirm your selection or put your name on our waiting list and you will be notified when your selection for a puppy is available.  You will be given the choice of which puppy you want on the day of pickup based on when your deposit was received.  Your deposit will go toward the total cost.  The balance of $2400, is due on the day of pickup, please pay balance with a money order or bank check made out to “McClure’s Countryside Enterprises”.  If you desire to use your new puppy for breeding, then there is an additional cost of $1200, which will give the ability for their litters to be AKC registered.    Click the "Contact Us for Puppies" link under "More" at the top of this page to initiate the reservation of a puppy.   Then to complete the reservation, pay the Deposit online, using the "Pay Puppy Deposit Online" link under "More".   Any questions, let us know.

What Your Puppy Goes Home With 

• Puppies are wormed at 2, 4, 6 weeks old. 
• All puppies receive a health physical from our vet at around 7 weeks old. 
• Puppy parents will receive a health document from Danville Animal Hospital. At their visit their heart is checked, weight is taken, ears and eyes looked at. They also are checked to make sure that they do not have hernia’s and for males, they are checked to make sure that they have both testicles descended. 
• Puppies receive their first round of vaccinations before they go home. They receive the DAPP (Distemper, Adenovirus (hepatitis), Parvovirus, and Parainfluenza vaccinations.  Puppies should receive their 2nd round of vaccinations at 10 weeks.   Their health record showing dates of worming, physical and vaccinations will be given in all puppy folders. 
• Puppies will go home with their AKC registration paper.
