2025-2026 Litters

Below are my 2025-2026 plans, with my best guess as to the timing of when they might happen. 

Please note that it could vary from this time frame as Mother Nature does what she does.  Dogs’ cycles are not exactly every six months.

Our friend Tania is going to have a litter of puppies that is expected to go home in the middle of January 2026. The beautiful girl is named Riley Rye Whisky on the Rocks, and has already had some wonderful puppies with Tania and us last year. Riley Rye Whisky on the Rocks has OFA excellent hips, normal elbows, and has cleared on her eyes and heart. The puppies of this litter are still being sold through Hunter’s Goldstrike, but Tania, who is a very trusted friend of ours, is providing the guarantee and contract. The puppies will be picked up from Tania’s house in Severance, Colorado. If you are interested in putting down a deposit on this litter, you can fill out the Puppy Application form and/or don't hesitate to get in touch with us at rileystender2@gmail.com.

*Please note, this is not the same Riley as we have listed on the ‘Our Dogs’ page of the website. Smiley Riley of Goldstrike is different from Riley Rye Whisky on the Rocks.

Here are some more photos of Tania’s Riley!

To hold your spot on a litter, please fill out our Puppy Application form and follow the necessary steps. For more information, read below about the Puppy Purchase Process.

The Puppy Purchase Process

What we need from you

Please fill out the Puppy Application. You will then receive an email from us within the next few days!

***Please check your junk mail! Sometimes, the email gets sent there first.

Important: We require a $300 deposit to hold your spot on a litter. This deposit will go towards the final price of the puppy and is non-refundable. We take three male deposits and three female deposits on each litter. If a litter does not have three of each sex, then we can move you to a future litter, move you to the other sex, or refund your deposit (refunds for deposits are only offered when we cannot produce a puppy).

-The Puppy Application contains this information as well.

A digital puppy adoption application form with fields for email, full name, and today's date. Instructions indicate a $300 deposit is required for holding a puppy. Required fields are marked with an asterisk.

We ask that you please remain patient with us, as nature and each puppy litter can be quite unpredictable. Additionally, every dog and puppy requires a great deal of love, care, and time, which keeps us busy! We will always try our best to get back to you as soon as possible. Trust me, the wait for a puppy is well worth it! :)

What you will receive

  • You will receive a handy booklet containing all your puppy’s important documents like the litter registration, vet check, and vaccination certificate. The booklet includes information regarding your dog’s health, when to spay and neuter, rabies and other vaccinations, and health tips/information regarding your puppy’s safety. This booklet also shows off the pedigrees and accomplishments of your puppy’s parents!

  • Your new best friend will go home with a few puppy necessities! This includes a small bag of puppy food (which contains six days worth of food), a colorful collar, and a seasoned toy that smells like your puppy’s brothers and sisters!

  • Puppies will have their dewclaws removed, first shots, a vet check, and a microchip. After your puppy goes to his or her new forever home, we register the puppy’s microchip in your name for you. To do this, we use the information you provide in our microchip form, which is a part of our buying process. There is a 24-month guarantee on OFA eyes, hips, heart, and elbows.

Information regarding the puppy purchase

You can check the section above for expected litters, future planned litters, and what is available. I try to keep it updated often. I will take three deposits on each sex per litter, for a total of six deposits per litter.

We operate on a first-come, first-served basis. If you are the first to put down a deposit on a male/female in a litter, you will be the first to pick your male/female puppy for that litter (this may rarely be altered, such as us keeping one from the litter).

If we don't have three of each sex per litter, you will have a few options. You can take a pup of the other sex if it's available, or you can switch to another litter if something is available in that litter. (I do not bump someone so that you will get the same pick as you had, or better, however.) If these options are not possible and we are unable to produce a puppy, you can receive a refund for your deposit. Otherwise, deposits are non-refundable. 

See Pricing per litter in the list above, as they differ from litter to litter!

You may purchase full registration for an additional $1000. We highly recommend that you do the clearances before breeding.

What is full registration? Find out here! 

 You can contact me if you have any questions about these litters at:  Huntersgoldstrike@gmail.com

We love to see updates on puppies and would love for you to tag us on Instagram and Facebook!

If you are out of the area, you will need to either drive to get your pup or fly in and fly it home with you under your seat. This is the best and safest way to ensure you get your puppy home safe and sound.

*Puppies can no longer be shipped by United Pet cargo. 

All pups will have a Colorado Sales Tax of 2.9 % added to your invoice!

We reserve the right to change the sire on the litters above if we need to do that for whatever reason!

Notes About Our Professional Breeding Program

Our professional breeding program consists of thirty-five years of intensive work to provide top-quality puppies to our clients. Every dog in our breeding program is a dog that doesn’t have hip dysplasia, heart defects, skin problems, or serious behavioral problems. We put our dogs through clearances for heart, hips, and eyes, and we are adding elbows, thyroid, and other tests to provide even better quality pups. All our Dogs are cleared for eyes (CERF), heart (SAS), and hips (OFA or Penn Hip) before breeding them, and this is what we base our guarantee on. These puppies are beautiful, healthy, and mellow-tempered (not to be confused with a new puppy behavior).

They are all registered with the American Kennel Club, and in most cases, they are registered with the United Kennel Club. Paperwork is always provided on all the dogs with their breeding background. Pheasant or quail wings are introduced at an early age. We have them vet-checked at three days of age and also have their dew claws removed. They are vaccinated at 6 to 7 weeks of age and again at 9 or 10 weeks of age if needed before placing them. We are extremely proud of the puppies that we produce.

They are whelped and kept in special areas to provide them with the best start in life. Puppies are socialized and given individual attention to ensure that they will make a wonderful new family member. We do not allow individuals to come in and handle the puppies until they are several weeks old. This is for disease control purposes. Our careful protection of the puppies guarantees that you will have an incredibly healthy puppy when you take them home.

We provide support and recommend training to all individuals and families purchasing a puppy to help them in the transition as they bring the new puppy into the home. Obedience training is very important! You will like your puppy better if it is obedient! In addition, we offer ongoing support for the lifetime of the puppy/dog with regard to behavioral problems and general consultation. We encourage you to contact us with any health issues, as this will help us make future decisions in our breeding program.

Puppies are available on a regular basis and are sold on deposit unless they are old enough to take home. We encourage our clients to visit our kennels to see their condition and meet our dogs! (Please schedule an appointment with us via email before you come to visit.)

*If you are going to schedule a visit…

Please see our Kennel Rules and Regulations! We cannot stress enough how important our beloved dogs and puppies are to us. For their safety, please follow our rules.

We highly recommend a basic obedience class for your new puppy. You will like the behavior better if you have an obedient dog. We find that goldens are easy to train, and in addition, you get a fun way to spend time with your dog. Good Luck with your new family member!
