Your Sun & Sand Goldens Journey: Supported Every Step of the Way
At Sun & Sand Goldens, we’re dedicated to making every moment of your journey with us seamless, transparent, and enjoyable. From your first inquiry to the day you take your puppy home (and beyond!), we’re here to provide guidance, answer questions, and celebrate your new addition to the family.
Staying Connected
Communication is the foundation of trust, and we take it seriously. Whether you’re just getting started or already on our waiting list, we make it easy to stay in touch.
24/7 Support: Reach out to us via phone, email, or social media (Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube). Your questions and feedback matter to us, and we strive to respond promptly.
Email First: For detailed inquiries, email is the fastest way to get thoughtful, comprehensive responses.
Video/Voice Calls: When time allows, we’re happy to schedule a call. While our dogs are always our top priority, rest assured we’ll get back to you as soon as we can.
Visiting Us
We love sharing our world with you, but we also prioritize the safety and well-being of our puppies.
A Welcoming Space: Our environment is designed to nurture our dogs and provide them with love and care.
Scheduled Visits: At this time, in-person visits are limited to families on our waiting list, during puppy picks, or at puppy pick-up.
Meet the Parents: You’ll have the chance to meet the parents of your puppy at pick-up (around 8 weeks).
Virtual Tours: To compensate for limited visits, we provide plenty of photos and videos, sharing the joys of puppyhood through our website and social media.
About Our Golden Retrievers
Our Goldens are bred with care, ensuring they embody the traits that make this breed so beloved.
Size & Coat: Our dogs typically range from 60 to 90+ pounds. Puppy coats often change as they grow, but you can get a sneak peek at their future color by looking at their ear flap!
Health Testing: We conduct thorough health testing on all parents, with results shared transparently on their profiles.
Location & Delivery
We’re currently located in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina
Local Delivery: We offer delivery options for local families and assist with out-of-state transport arrangements when possible.
International Transport: While we don’t offer international delivery, we welcome clients who wish to travel to the U.S. to pick up their puppy.
Welcoming Your New Puppy
We provide everything you need to ensure your puppy transitions smoothly into their new home.
Puppy Package: Every puppy comes with a health record, AKC registration papers, a complimentary puppy pack, and a microchip.
Vaccinated & Ready: Puppies are ready to join their forever families at 7-8 weeks, with initial vaccinations completed.
Finding Your Perfect Pup
We’re here to help you find a puppy that fits your family perfectly.
Matching Process: Puppies are matched with their families starting at 6 weeks old. Pictures, videos, or virtual meetings can help you make your decision.
In-Person Visits: Limited visits are available to ensure the health of our puppies and prevent exposure to common illnesses.
Waiting List: Once you’ve completed an application, you’ll be notified of a deposit request. This does not guarantee a puppy but does guarantee you are on my waiting list with top priority. This is ongoing to help cut down on spam applications.
Placing a Deposit
How It Works: Once your application is approved, we’ll contact you directly. A $300 non-refundable deposit secures your place in line for a puppy. Once a litter is born I will proceed down the list in order of deposits received to verify your continued interest. Payments can be made via ApplePay, Zelle, or cash.
Deposit Transfers: If your plans change, deposits can be transferred to a future litter, subject to availability. If you decide not to continue with your puppy pick you will forfeit your deposit and I will file your application in my records for removal.
