Congratulations!
You’ve reserved a VIP puppy, and this private page is your one-stop guide for everything you need to know—from how we raise our puppies, to what to expect on pickup day, to preparing your home. We’ve created this resource to make the process clear, simple, and exciting. Let’s walk through it together step-by-step.
Your deposit secures your spot in the litter, with puppies chosen in the order deposits are received.
If your first choice isn’t available, you’ll have the option to select another puppy, move your deposit to a future litter, or request a refund.
After your deposit is received, you’ll gain access to this VIP Puppy Portal and begin receiving updates as the litter grows.
Why We Share the Contract Wording Ahead of Time:
• It ensures there are no surprises on pickup day.
• It outlines what you can expect from us and what we expect from you.
• It highlights the steps we’ve already taken to protect your puppy’s health and future.

Why We Share the Contract Wording Ahead of Time:
• It ensures there are no surprises on pickup day.
• It outlines what you can expect from us and what we expect from you.
• It highlights the steps we’ve already taken to protect your puppy’s health and future.
We view this contract as more than just paperwork—it’s a reflection of our partnership with you in raising a happy, healthy, and well-adjusted dog.
We love sharing the journey! Families will receive weekly updates and videos as the puppies grow. This gives you a front-row seat to their development, personality, and milestones.
In addition, we post regularly on our social media channels—photos, videos, and fun behind-the-scenes moments. You’re welcome (and encouraged!) to follow along there for even more updates.
Before you take your puppy home, we encourage you to listen to this podcast. In it, Kristin shares her belief that dogs, just like people, have love languages. Understanding how dogs communicate and connect allows us to train and build relationships with them in ways that truly make sense to them.

Before you take your puppy home, we encourage you to listen to this podcast. In it, Kristin shares her belief that dogs, just like people, have love languages. Understanding how dogs communicate and connect allows us to train and build relationships with them in ways that truly make sense to them.
This podcast explains why that matters, how it shapes our training approach, and what it can mean for your relationship with your new puppy. Listening beforehand will give you insight into how your puppy learns and why consistency and communication are so important.

Many of these items are available through our Best Retrievers Pro Shop, so you can be confident you’re using the same gear we trust in our training programs.
Your puppy is socialized daily by our team.
When your puppy turns 7 weeks old, it’s time to come meet your new best friend! Puppies go home in the order deposits were received.
What to Bring:
At pickup, you’ll review and sign the final contract, receive your puppy folder, and our team will answer any last questions.
Puppies learn fast, and timing matters, you have about 1.3 seconds to reward or correct a behavior. What you allow now will become a habit later.
• Jumping: Only give attention when all four paws are on the floor.
• Nipping & Mouthing: Puppies test leadership with their mouths—don’t ignore it, redirect or apply gentle pressure
Puppies learn fast, and timing matters, you have about 1.3 seconds to reward or correct a behavior. What you allow now will become a habit later.
• Jumping: Only give attention when all four paws are on the floor.
• Nipping & Mouthing: Puppies test leadership with their mouths—don’t ignore it, redirect or apply gentle pressure.
• Demand Barking: Never let them out while barking. Wait for quiet—even a moment—to reward calm. A white noise machine can help.
Start as you mean to go—respectful habits now build a well-mannered dog later.
Every BR puppy is guaranteed a spot in our training program. Whether you’re looking for a well-mannered companion or a competitive gun dog, we’ve got a pathway for you:

Our goal isn’t to produce more puppies—it’s to better the breed.

Because we are a training facility first, we know these dogs inside and out. Every breeding decision is intentional, with pairings chosen to strengthen health, temperament, and natural ability. All parents complete health clearances, and females are not overbred.
By focusing on quality over quantity, we raise fewer puppies—but stronger, healthier, and better-prepared ones. Every puppy is handled daily, socialized, and given the best foundation for life.
We are so excited that this day has finally arrived—you’re here to pick up your Best Retrievers puppy! From the very beginning, our goal has been to not only raise exceptional dogs, but also to build lasting relationships with the families who welcome them home.
Your journey with your puppy begins today, and we feel truly honored to be part of it. We can’t wait to see your pup grow, learn, and become everything you’ve dreamed of. Thank you for trusting us to walk alongside you in this new adventure.
As part of today’s process, you’ll review and sign the final contract. To help you prepare, we’ve included the wording here so you can read it ahead of time:
Welcome to the Best Retrievers family—we are thrilled to watch the journey unfold for you and your puppy.
