RAES OF GOLD - Puppy Expression of Interest Form

Thank you for considering a RAES OF GOLD puppy as the newest addition to your family. Choosing where a puppy comes from is an important decision, and we appreciate that you are considering us. In return, we are equally committed to ensuring every puppy is placed in the right home. We are highly selective about the families we entrust with our dogs, and we hope you understand that our priority is finding lifelong homes where each puppy will thrive. If you would like to be considered for one of our puppies, we ask that you complete this Expression of Interest Form. It allows us to learn more about you, your lifestyle, and what you are looking for in a companion. It also provides an opportunity for you to reflect on the responsibilities of dog ownership and consider the practical aspects of welcoming a puppy into your home. We understand that purchasing a puppy is a significant investment. Our pricing reflects the extensive planning, health testing, ethical breeding practices, veterinary care, premium nutrition, early neurological development, socialisation, temperament assessments, and the countless hours of care that go into raising every RAES OF GOLD puppy. It also reflects our ongoing commitment to providing lifelong support to our puppy families. Our puppies are currently priced between AUD $5,500 and $6,500, depending on the planned litter. We believe this represents excellent value for a thoughtfully bred Golden Retriever raised with health, temperament, and lifelong success as the highest priorities. We look forward to learning more about you and hope to welcome you into the RAES OF GOLD family.
