The Proof is in the Puppies
When you’re choosing a new puppy, you’re also choosing the people behind that puppy—and we take that responsibility to heart. At Southland Goldens, our reputation didn’t grow overnight. It’s been built over years of intentional breeding, deep knowledge of the English Cream Golden Retriever, and a whole lot of passion. Families trust us not just because our puppies are adorable but because they come from a place rooted in ethics, experience, and genuine care.
Answering All Your Puppy Questions
Don’t see your question below? No worries. Head on over to our FAQ page to learn more about our breeding process, training programs, and so much more.
Yes! Every one of our puppies is registered with the American Kennel Club (AKC), the gold standard when it comes to recognizing purebred dogs. Purebred dogs that meet their breed standards earn this official stamp of approval. It’s a nod to responsible, ethical breeding and breed integrity.
Our puppies come with AKC Limited Registration, which means they’re officially recognized as purebred Golden Retrievers but not eligible for breeding or competing in breed confirmation shows. That said, they can participate in all kinds of fun and impressive AKC events like agility courses, obedience trials, hunting tests, and more.
Curious about full registration? We do offer it on a case-by-case basis for approved homes with serious breeding intentions. If that’s you, let’s chat. We’re always happy to talk through what’s best for you and the breed.
Yes! Each puppy gets their first round of vaccinations right on schedule and follows a regular deworming routine before heading off to their forever home. By the time they’re ready to join your family, they’ve had the best start we can possibly give them.
We keep detailed records of everything, too, so you’ll know exactly what they’ve had and when. It’s just one of the ways we help you feel confident that your new best friend is happy, healthy, and ready to take on the world.
Absolutely. English Golden Retrievers are known for their gentle, affectionate nature, and they tend to think every human is their best friend. They’re especially great with kids—patient, playful, and always ready to join in on the backyard fun or curl up during movie night.
But here’s the thing: just like people, every pup has their own personality. Some are natural-born snugglers, others are curious adventurers. That’s why we take the time to help you find the puppy that best fits what you are looking for. For us, it’s not just about finding them a home; it’s about finding them the right home.
Our puppies can head home to you as early as 8 weeks old, right around the time they’ve mastered the art of tumbling, tail-wagging, and stealing hearts. That’s when they’re weaned, vet-checked, and ready to bond with their forever family.
But if you’re looking for a little extra help with the transition, we have options! Many families choose to extend their pup’s stay and enroll in one of our training programs. These training programs enhance the skills we’ve already taught them, solidifying their positive behaviors and making the transition to home life that much easier.
Not at all. While we’d love to meet you in person and show you around our facility, we’ve got plenty of options to make bringing your new English Cream Golden Retriever puppy as convenient as possible.
- Pick Up in Troy, AL: Come straight to our home! We’d love for you to meet your new puppy right where they’ve been raised and cared for.
- Puppy Fly In-Cabin with Us: We’ll fly with your puppy in-cabin to your nearest airport. All you’ll need to do is meet us at baggage claim. This service requires round-trip airfare, a puppy ticket, and a $595 pet delivery fee.
- Fly to Pick Up Your Puppy: We’ll meet you at the airport. We also offer a $395 delivery service to bring your puppy to the Atlanta airport for pickup. You just need to handle your flight and an airline-approved pet carrier. We are happy to help guide you through the process.
- Ground Delivery: We can deliver your puppy directly to your home or meet you halfway. We tailor the transport to fit your needs. Contact us for a personalized quote.
- Private Plane Pickup: If you’re arriving by private plane, we can meet you at the Troy Municipal Airport (TOI), just 15 miles from our home.
Of course! You’re now part of the Southland Goldens family, and family is forever. Whether you’ve got a question about food, training, teething, or just want to send us a million cute pictures (we fully support that), we’re here for it.
We know that bringing home a new puppy is a big, exciting adventure, and sometimes, it comes with a few curveballs. That’s why we’re just a call, text, or email away. Need advice on crate training? Wondering if that dramatic zoomie session at bedtime is just a phase? We’ve seen it all, and we’re happy to help. Once a Southland pup, always a Southland pup.
