Not Local, No Problem!

not local, no problem- golden retriever puppy
With a network of passionate AKC golden retriever breeders in Ohio, it’s little surprise that most of our golden retriever puppies go to Ohio families. But just because you’re not local doesn’t mean you can’t get a healthy, family-ready pup of your own! Even if you live far away from Ohio, it’s still possible to get one of our golden retriever puppies to join your family. A little-known fact about golden retriever puppies is that they actually do very well with airline travel. This has allowed us to send our puppies to almost every state, providing them with a positive flying experience so they can arrive safely at your home. Our pups’ travel prep begins the night before their flight, in which we give the golden retriever puppies a bath and plenty of cuddling so that they’re clean, happy, and ready for their travels. Our puppies are then sent to you with the help of the friendly staff at the Akron-Canton or Cleveland Hopkins Airports. Because the airport staff have been trained to work with pets (and most have pets of their own, they tell us), their personnel know to give the puppies proper care and attention in preparation for their flight. An air-delivered puppy may not seem like the most conventional way to bring a companion into your home, but it’s an exciting way to get a healthy, socialized puppy. Whether you live near or far, we know you’ll love our golden retriever puppies! Browse Our Available Puppies
