What do you get for the price? What's included with a Crockett Pups puppy?

Every puppy comes microchipped, genetically tested, and family-raised — not kennel-raised. These are meaningful investments that many budget breeders skip entirely, and they directly affect your puppy's health and socialization from day one.

A health guarantee is also available, covering up to 12 years — but it is conditional on the owner meeting specific care requirements (detailed at /health-guarantee/). This is not an automatic or blanket guarantee; responsible ownership is part of the equation.

Crockett Pups breeds Mini Golden Retrievers as Golden Retriever × Cavalier King Charles Spaniel crosses (95% of litters), producing the affectionate, compact companion the breed is known for. You can learn more about what is a mini golden retriever and why the breeding combination matters.

Why does a Mini Golden Retriever cost more than a standard golden retriever puppy?

The higher price reflects genuine costs: genetic health testing on parent dogs, microchipping before delivery, family-home rearing (not kennel raising), and a conditional long-term health guarantee available up to 12 years. These are not optional add-ons — they're built into every litter.

Mini Goldens also weigh just 25–35 lbs at maturity (range: 20–50 lbs) and stand 14–18 inches tall — a size that takes deliberate, selective breeding to achieve consistently. Curious about adult size? Our page on mini golden retriever size covers what to expect as your puppy grows.

For Richmond families in apartments or smaller homes, that compact, adaptable size is often exactly what makes this breed the right fit — and worth the investment.

How does the delivery and payment process work for Richmond buyers?

The process starts with a $300 refundable deposit to reserve your puppy. That deposit is applied to your total — it's not an extra fee. The remaining balance is due before or at delivery.

Delivery to Richmond is available at a flat rate based on region. If you're picking up a second puppy at the same time, add $200 — still far cheaper than two separate trips or deliveries. Richmond buyers do not pay South Carolina's 6% sales tax, which only applies to in-person Greenville, SC pickups.
