Marithyme Golden Retrievers

At Marithyme we thoroughly evaluate prospective puppy owners and often our puppies have homes prior to the breeding taking place.

Pups are placed by us after we evaluate the homes,the experience and or suitability and time to be given daily and also the reason for the purchase.

No one can be promised sex or color (though we do note if clients have a preference), what sells the litter are our Golden Girls and our 25 years of being golden hobbyists.
Prospective owners are expected to come to visit the 'mum-to-be' and my goldens, but it is understood that the distance of the buyer may make a visit difficult. We do accept desposits for our puppies without visits in theses cases after extensive e-mails, signed applications and sales contract is agreed upon and requirements met.

In the months or weeks before the pups are to go home, we get to know each 'selected' family and try to build a close bond. Previous clients have come to value our opinion and we have always had (an continue to have) good relationships in the past with every Marithyme Puppy Owner.

Our latest venture has incorporated the use of the internet which has become an indispensable tool to help educate and communicate with owners to be as well as new owners and present puppy owners through the years. I have created a yahoo web site where we encourage our clients to join and participate in breed education to include all the designs of crate training and raising a well adapted social pupster to adulthood. This begins with weekly up-dates on the dam to be’s pregnancy progress through delivery and onto weekly reports and photo gallery as to the progress of the whelps. Newbie’s learn from those more dog experienced in our group discussions and I have been known to also learn a thing or two from new owners who have tried methods I have never thought of! This can only work when I have pre-sold puppies from the intended litter. This gives me the freedom to enjoy our youngsters, relaxed to play and evaluate them, never busy selling them. I am watching the pups with each client’s life style and dog experience in mind. All along chatting back and forth or corresponding through the yahoo group site with the clientele. It is a wonderful experience as we all become very involved and very connected. Once the puppies are place, homed, the group continues to serve us as I will post brag photos, answer questions (many times others in the litter will join in with their experience in this matter) as well as discuss vaccines, foods, crating, obedience, when certain vaccines should have been performed and about veterinary care and those experiences. Nice too is the assistance from clients whose dogs are now grown from earlier litters. They love joining in and hearing what is going on with our dogs and breedings. It really bonds us all and that can only be a good thing.

Currently I am planning to breed our Poppet this summer. PUPPY APPLICATION
