Golden Retriever puppies for your family
To be placed on a list a $500 non refundable deposit is made to your delegated invoice once we have completed your phone consultation as part of my application process. This allows each other to get to know each other better and us match a suitable puppy to you.

UPDATE 28/04. We have 3 puppies available. Born 17/04/2025, their gorgeous puppies are thriving. They are a mix of beautiful gold and cream Golden Retrievers. Their stunning full coats will make them very majestic dogs. Of course we expect them to have the amazing natures who are loving, snuggly and fun that we are known for at Bellawai.
Why a wait list?
Family holding lists help me spend more time with the parents of your puppy and puppies of present clients (and in the future yours) when they are in our care. Please be aware that lists are typically filled 4-10 months prior to an expected litter birthdate. Our girls generally have 7-10 puppies in a litter. We do not overbook places for this reason and have two delegated lists to give you the most likely opportunity to have a puppy from the litter requested or a following litter that may not be yet advertised here. So please get in touch and I will do what I can to help you. I have been running Bellawai in this way for years and it works well for both parties and particularly well for our dogs.
Please be sure to contact us via our email info@bellawaidogs.co.nz to request to apply for an upcoming puppy of Bellawai.

Home time ready
We prefer our puppies to go to their new homes at a minimum of 9 weeks old so they can develop important social skills from their Mum and their siblings. Most families have their baby from 10-12 weeks old for additional training and socialisation.
Puppies at Bellawai undertake our social desensitisation programme to gather vital learning in their library of experiences necessary for a healthy well adjusted puppy.
Training to hand touch, sit, down and off continue daily for your puppy. We microchip your puppy at our veterinarian for you. We recommend travel by PT Transport or Flying Air New Zealand if you are not collecting your furbaby from our property. Please let us know if you intend your puppy to travel to you and we will confirm costs involved at the time. To adhere to strict travel requirements, your puppy is crate trained in a positive and progressive way to support Force Free training guidelines which we follow. I pride myself on raising content puppies with safety parameters in place so transportation of your puppy is easy for you as well as settle in time at home with a crate trained puppy is kinder for both you and your puppy.
Golden Retriever puppies
Each fluffy friend comes with their first vaccination, mircrochip, worm and flea treatments from two weeks old. Their Vet check to track their health is given at the time of vaccination. You are kept in contact with the progress of your baby and of course, you can come and visit your furry friend too from 4 weeks of age.
Our dogs and your puppy are raised on premium vet quality food. There are no dog rolls or homemade meals as we want to assure your puppy has the correct nutrition for their developing bones and body. This is an expensive commitment from us and we won’t cut corners. This will help you to no end with limiting fussy eating habits too.
Your puppy starts ENS and ESI work at 3 days old, positive clicker and voice training from 3 weeks old and at this time they also begin open crate training. At 7 weeks old your puppy starts closed crate training. We do this so there is less stress on you and them when they leave our home. When your baby leaves us, it will come with a blanket and toy that smells like Mum. Your puppy can be collected or we can help you with flight or pet bus arrangements at your cost. Your baby is ready for their home at 9 weeks old minimum. We prefer to care for your baby here with it’s Mum, Dad and siblings until this age for their mental and emotional health. When we talk together I can guide you on the age and transition of your puppy to your home.
