Adopting an older pup or adult dog
If you're interested in an older pup or adult dog instead of an 8 week old puppy, we might be able to fix you up with a new buddy. Please send us an email that includes some information about your home - family members, other pets, your activity habits, your experience with dogs, and a description of the living conditions. We can then try to match up an available dog with your personal situation.
At this time, we do not have any adult dogs or older pups to be rehomed.
Pup adoption
The pups are generally spoken for before they are born. If you're interested in one, please send an email to get on the waiting list. No deposit will be required until the pup arrives. While on the waiting list, you will be sent a copy of our Policies & Procedures document and will request that you fill in the appropriate information and return it to us. The document is available below for your information. If you haven't had a Setherwood Golden before, we may require a meeting to ensure that all are comfortable and that it will be a good fit.
The cost is $3000 plus HST ($3390).
Pups come from parents who have been cleared of hip, elbow, eye and heart problems as per the OFA standards. Parents are also clear of inheritable conditions common to the breed, using Embark (or similar) genetic testing. Mothers are available to be seen at any time and although the fathers are not kept on site, they are selected with careful consideration of attitude and temperament.
Our next expected litters will be from Sunday and from Julia in the summer of 2025.
