Coach's Golden Retrievers - Process for purchasing a puppy Purchasing a puppy is a major event for your family! All of our adult dogs are checked and cleared for eyes, heart, hips, and elbows. They are also genetically matched. Typically, our puppies are ready for homes at 8 weeks of age and they are current with their shots. They are all thoroughly examined by our vetinarian before they are released. If you would like to consider one of our puppies, please contact us for further information
