Nadina Golden Retrievers

Breaker (groom) & Naughty (bride) did some modelling for bridal shows in Kelowna. 

All our puppies are raised in our home, often in the kitchen so they experience all the sights and sounds of normal busy household. We spend time with each individual puppy right from day one until the day they leave us ensuring that each puppy is closely monitored and is exposed to Early Neurological Stimulation and that continues to age appropriate exposure to numerous different people and situations in a safe manner to facilitate the start of a well-rounded and socialized dog.

The parents of every litter are health tested by Board Certified Veterinary Specialists and this includes, but may not be limited to :

OFA hips and/or PennHIP

OFA Elbows

OFA Heart

Annual OFA Eye Clearances

Prior to a puppy leaving us, your puppy will have had their first set of vaccines and health check up (unless the vaccine nomograph shows otherwise for the vaccination). 

We are very fortunate to have numerous wonderful families that are waiting for puppies from us, and we usually have a waitlist that is around a year long, give or take a little bit.

We are currently accepting puppy applications for litters in 2023.

Thank you for your interest in a Nadina Golden puppy.

Here is a brief overview of what the process looks like to get a puppy from Nadina Goldens.  

1 – If you think you would be interested in a puppy from us, we like to get to know you a bit more through you filling out our puppy application. Feel free to ask any questions you have in the puppy application and/or through email ahead of time. 

2- If we are both comfortable proceeding, we do ask that you provide a $400 non-refundable deposit to confirm your interest in an upcoming puppy from us.

We do not make any guarantee as to what litter this will be from, however if you are ONLY interested in a specific litter please let us know up front and we can discuss that as a possible option. 

3 – From there we ask that you stay in touch and I will provide updates of any future litters. 

4 – At 7 - 8weeks of age we do full temperament evaluations and structural evaluations on the litter. These evaluations are used in combination with what we have gotten to see and know of each individual puppy through their first 2 months of life with us. We are then able to use all that information about the puppy plus what we have learned about you and we match each puppy to their new homes.

It is at this point where we definitely know what puppy is going to what home (although we will have a general idea prior to that and you will be well aware of my thoughts on whether or not your future puppy is in that litter or not). 

5 – Once puppies are matched with their families they are ready for pick up between 8-9 weeks of age. The exact day/age depends on each litter and how it works with setting up all their testing (structure/temperament/first vet check up etc). 

We love to hear from our puppy families and keep in touch with us and let us know how their puppies are doing throughout their lives.
