Puppies
We do not have puppies at the moment.
Mochavulin will be planning litters in 2019 - born and raised in Forest Hill, KZN.
Due to the high demand of our puppies, most puppies have already been booked. We do not work on a "first come-first serve" basis and rather select the BEST possible homes for our puppies. We do have waiting lists for our puppies, and we carefully screen all potential homes. Please be prepared to wait for a quality, well bred puppy.
To INQUIRE about our puppies, please complete the Puppy Questionnaire and return to us via email.
Also please visit all the pages relating to Golden Retrievers for more information about the breed and to investigate whether a Golden Retriever will be suitable to your lifestyle and family.

The Puppy Price Debate
We often get inquiries from people just wanting to know what the price is for our puppies. We sell our puppies for R15,000 - due to all the health check, including DNA testing that we do, the quality of our dogs, our careful selection of breeding dogs according of COI (Coefficient of Inbreeding) Analysis and that we raise the puppies inside our homes and the ongoing support that we provide.
We do the following Health Checks on our dogs:
If price is your only consideration, then I would like to recommend that you read this page carefully as it will contain VERY IMPORTANT information on why you should not just be concerned about price as you can get a puppy for as little as R3000 or as much as R15,000 - but manor factors are applicable that you should consider.
There is quite a considerable difference in price & therefore also in QUALITY. You might buy a puppy now for R3000 / R6000, but the chances that you will soon be burdened with high vet bills will increase two-fold & you will probably also not get any support, advice or guidance from the breeders should any problems arise.As with any pedigree dog, every breed suffers from genetic problems due to the limited gene pools being used. That is why pedigree dogs sometimes do get sick more often than the usual "pavement special" because with mixed-breeds its exactly what you get - a diverse combination of numerous genes from different breed that may or may not counteract against one another. Although you might end up with a more "genetically sound" dog you will also never know the temperament of the dog, the full size it might reach or whether or not any of its ancestors has any genetic defects that can result in more problems, huge vet bills and a lot of heartache when you have to put your beloved dog to sleep because of cancer or other ailments, or simply cant afford the veterinary costs associated with hip replacements, expensive exploratory surgery or any other major illness.
Choosing a RESPECTED, REPUTABLE Breeder is therefore one of the most important decisions that you will make. Although all dogs are still "livestock" there cant be any guarantees as we are still dealing with nature ... and even the most carefully planned mating can still result in either minor or major problems - the difference comes in the breeder, the support, the advice, guidance and expertise that you will not get from someone that does not know the breed intimately as well as the associated problems with the breed. With the right guidance you can avoid a lot of problems, simply by following the recommended feeding, exercise and training guidelines & you are more assured of a long-term, happy, healthy pet!
Its therefore easy to see WHY going to a RESPECTED, REPUTABLE and REGISTERED, ACCREDITED KUSA BREEDER is the only option that you should consider!!!
We do the following Health Checks on our dogs:
- DNA for PRA (Progressive Retinal Atrophy)
- Eye Tests
