All of our litters are planned months in advance (sometimes more!) and pedigrees are researched back 5+ generations to ensure healthy, happy, and sound puppies capable of competing in all aspects of AKC events but most importantly loving family companions!
Puppies are raised in our home and are socialized on a daily basis from the time they are born until they are ready to leave with their new family. We raise our puppies with Dr. Carmen L. Battaglia's method most recently called "Developing High Achievers". We've used this method for many years now and believe it's essential to puppy growth and development.
Our dogs and puppies are raised with minimal vaccines and chemicals for optimal health and longevity. We are firm believers that less is more. Vaccines, flea/tick medications, and early spay/neuter play a huge role in our dog's sensitive immune system.
We expect our puppy clients to follow the same protocols.
If you are interested in a puppy, filling out our application is the first step in the process.
SunKissed Golden puppies are thoughtfully planned and highly anticipated, and our current estimated wait time is approximately 1–2 years.
Unfortunately, because of the number of inquiries received, an application must be filled out to be considered for one of our puppies. Once your application is received, we will get back to you with any questions we may have. You will be added to our list and contacted once the breeding has taken place. Visits will be set up once pregnancy has been confirmed. A one-time "open house" will be scheduled when the puppies are 6-7 weeks old, attendance is imperative. Puppies are seen by our vet at 7.5 weeks and are ready for their new homes at 8 weeks.
Before puppies leave our home, they are dewormed several times, checked by our veterinarian, microchipped, and aptitude tested using Volhard's Puppy Aptitude Test. Since we've spent so much time with these puppies, we will choose which one best suits your family. Pet puppies are sold with spay/neuter contracts and AKC Limited Registration. If show puppies are desired from the pertaining litter, they will be placed first.
Puppies are sent home with a custom "Puppy Packet" which will include copies of both parents' pictures, health clearances, aptitude test results, pedigree, feeding instructions, and other goodies.
Our puppies are currently (2026) priced at $4,000, reflecting the quality of our breeding program, the titles earned by our dogs, and generations of titled dogs behind them. This price also encompasses the costs of responsible breeding, comprehensive veterinary care, and the time and dedication invested in raising, nurturing, and properly socializing each puppy during their first eight weeks of life.
We take great pride in giving our puppies the best possible start, and our commitment doesn't end when they leave for their new homes. Every puppy family receives lifetime breeder support, including ongoing guidance, education, and mentorship throughout their dog's life.
