1. Do you require a deposit?

Yes, we require a $500.00 non-refundable deposit to reserve a puppy for you. The sooner you place a deposit for a litter the better chance you will have getting the preferred sex you are wanting. If we are unable to provide you with a puppy due to the pregnancy not taking we can roll your deposit to the next litter or refund your deposit. Puppies are reserved in the order we take deposits for either male or female.  
White Sand Goldens always has the right to hold back first pick male or female from any litter if we decide the puppy is exceptional for showing and our program. We never know if we are going to have a show quality puppy until they are born and we watch them grow. 
We only take 6 deposits per litter, 3 males and 3 females. Because of this, we ask that you preference which sex you prefer and that is what we will put you on the list for. 

2. What is the price of a puppy?

Our English Golden Retriever puppies are $5500.00 and $5800.00 for the first pick male and female. If there is only one male or female we will only charge the $5500.00. 


3. Where are you located?

We are located in Headland, AL on 5 acres with a beautiful pond and two acres fenced in so or Goldens can run and play.


4. At what age will my puppy come home?

Our puppies will join your family at 8 weeks of age.


5. How do I pick up my puppy?

A lot of our puppy families do not live close enough to pick up there puppy so we have several options for you.

a. Pick up in Headland, AL-Your are welcome to come to our home to pick up your puppy

b. Puppy fly in the cabin with us-If you prefer for your puppy to fly in the cabin but you are unable to make the trip here is an option for you. Someone will fly with your puppy to the airport of your choice. You will pick up your puppy at the airport. You will be responsible for the round trip ticket and the puppies ticket. There is also a $499.00 transport fee.

c. Puppy fly in the cabin with you- You are welcome to fly with the puppy in the cabin with you. You will be responsible for the pet carrier and the puppies ticket. We recommend the Sherpa Brand carrier and we will help you choose the correct carrier. We will meet you at the airport for a fee.

e. Private Plane- We have many families that choose to pick up their puppy in a private plane. Our facility is located at the Dothan, AL airport and 5 minutes from us so we will gladly bring the puppy to you. 


6. What Food Is The Puppy Eating?

We are feeding our puppies Purina Pro Plan Puppy Shredded Chicken. We have noticed on a few breeders websites that they recommend a puppy food that you can click a link and enter a code for a discount. They do this because every bag of dog food you buy they get a % of the sale. How do I know? Because we have been breeding since 2004 and tried this option in the past. I am not convinced these foods are the best options for our dogs. You are welcome to slowly switch your puppies food from the Purina Pro Plan but do this slowly so they do not get an upset tummy. 

7. Do White Sand Golden Puppies Come With A Warranty?

Yes, our puppies come with a two year health guarantee and a puppy contract. I our puppies also go home with one puppy shot which is the only shot needed by 8 weeks of age, microchip, 30 days free pet insurance, a stuffed toy with the mothers and siblings scent on it and a lifetime of support.

8. Where Are Our Puppies Raised?

9. Do we do any health testing on our dogs? 

Yes, you will find FCI, BVA and OFA health testing on our dogs. BVA is the British Veterinarian Association and our preferred method for health screening. Why do you ask? Because the panel doesn't change every few month unlike OFA that changes the individuals who evaluate the x-rays. Also, BVA requires two x-rays of the elbows unlike OFA that only requires one. BVA also grades each hip individually instead of one grade for both hips. We use Walden Pond, Hamby Road in Atlanta and Abbiecreek for our health schemes. Our eye exams are done in Pensacola and heart with Walden Pond. We also genetic test all of our dogs to produce clear puppies. Here is an example of a Paw Print Genetic test.
