Meredith’s certifications & recognitions
AKC Breeder with H.E.A.R.T.
Certified Good Dog Breeders put a lot of care into raising well-rounded puppies, often focusing on early training and socialization with children and other animals. While Najmi Goldens hasn’t shared details here about their specific practices yet, we encourage you to reach out to learn more about how they prepare their puppies to go home.
All puppies are vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, and have a veterinary wellness exam 1 day prior to adoption.
Your puppy may come with extra benefits, like a small bag of food or a toy carrying the scent of their littermates. While Najmi Goldens hasn’t shared specifics yet, we encourage you to reach out directly to learn what thoughtful extras they may include to help your puppy transition comfortably into their new home.
Meredith offers options to help you easily get your new puppy home.
If you’re nearby, you can visit in person to pick up your pup. If you’re far away, you can travel by car or plane.
“We do not ship our puppies but you may come to our home or we can meet you at our airport (AUS).”
