PUPPY PLACEMENT & MATCHING APPLICATION

Getting to know the people, purpose, and life waiting on the other side of the leash. Thank you for considering a Labrador Retriever or Golden Retriever. We are not looking for perfect families or rehearsed answers. We are looking for an honest picture of your household, daily life, experience, goals, preferences, and the partnership you hope to build. Your answers help us protect the puppy, the family, and the match. TWO BREEDS. ONE SHARED PHILOSOPHY. The Captain’s Labradors and Dal-Rhé Goldens are sister breeding programs built on the same promises: purpose-bred dogs, thoughtful matching, responsible stewardship, and lifelong breeder support. The breed may differ. The responsibility does not.
