Puppy availability

​

Update late September 2026

​​

We're incredibly excited to announce that we have two planned litters: one expected in October 2026 and the second planning for Feb-Mar 2027. 

🐾 Ember & Murray – Final Litter - Due 1 Oct

Ember has a confirmed pregnancy, with puppies expected to be born in early October 2026.

​

This will be Ember's final litter, making it a very special one. Puppies from previous Ember × Murray litters have been exceptional, with several families returning to welcome a second Murraygold puppy into their home.

​

We have now filled our our places for this litter and have no vacancies available.  

🐾 Nova & Murray – First Planned Litter

We're also excited to be planning Nova's first litter.  We expected her to come into season within the next 4–6 weeks, with puppies antipicated to be born during February-March 2027.

​

Subject to a successful mating with Murray, we currently expect to have both male and female puppy vacancies for this litter.  Please contact us to enquire about these vacancies as these will fill up fast. 

Nova has inherited the beautiful temperament, intelligence and trainability that we value so highly at Murraygold, and we are looking forward to continuing our breeding program through her.

​

If you're considering adding a Golden Retriever to your family, we'd love to hear from you. We take great care in matching each puppy to the right home and encourage prospective families to contact us early to discuss our puppy application process.

​

Please get in touch if you're interested in either litter - and we can provide you further information.

How to advance register your interest for our 2026 litters. 

​

You are welcome to make an initial Expression of Interest (EOI) in advance but this does not guarantee you a puppy.  Only families who keep in touch following their initial EOI  (via email) up until when a litter is due are formally considered.  Often families change their minds in the months since initially contacting us, or source a puppy/dog from another source and subsequently don't let us know.  

​

We find the right family are happy to wait for a quality puppy from a registered breeder.  The right family will want to keep in touch and be patient and wait for a puppy to become available.

​

​

Average waiting time for a puppy

​

Most families wait a minimum of 6-12 months for their puppy.  Good breeders will have long waiting lists - this is a good sign and you will need to be patient.

​

​

Booking or holding fees before puppies are born

​

Murraygold does not require any booking or holding fees to express your interest in a puppy.  We only require a deposit once puppies have been born and you have formally been offered a puppy from a given litter. Under most reasonable circumstances, deposits are refundable if you change your mind.

​

Contacting us to express your interest in a puppy

Every litter at Murraygold is carefully planned. We do not breed often and puppies are only available by reservation, to caring and responsible homes. Previous owners of Murraygold dogs will often be given first preference.

​

If you are a new family wishing to express your interest in a future planned litter, you are more than welcome to contact us via our contact page. 

We ask that new enquiries to us don't simply email us in an impersonalised email (along with other registered breeders), asking us if we have any puppies available and their cost. While we are happy to answer these questions we ask that you take some time to personalise your response with helpful information, such as:

​

• information about yourself & your family

• why you are seeking a golden retriever from Murraygold

• what kind of home you could offer

• other pets you may have

• any other information you think might be good for us to know

​

Imagine if you were selling a treasured pup to a prospective family...what sort of home would you like your puppy to go to?  We have hundreds of enquiries and seek the BEST homes for our puppies.  We won't know unless you tell us!!

We respond to all genuine emails sent to us.
