At Trillium Goldens, we are committed to the long-term health and well being of this wonderful breed.  Therefore, all puppies not going to qualified breeders or show homes will be sold on a strict spay/neuter agreement and limited registration.

We hand-raise our puppies and pay close attention to the socialization, growth patterns and personality traits of each and every puppy, so we can help you get a puppy that best matches your lifestyle and your dream of the “perfect” family pet.

Please do not hesitate to call us if you have any questions about this questionnaire or our family of Golden Retrievers.

We look forward to seeing you soon and having you meet the Trillium Goldens!
