Charlie
Charlie has already found his family and is officially reserved. He’ll still move through Crowned K9s Academy alongside Owen before go-home so both brothers get the same training-first foundation.
Skip the Chaos. Bring Home a Puppy with a Head Start.
This isn't a typical placement. These pups are thoughtfully matched and already have structure and training, so you can settle in faster and enjoy the early days. Every Premium Puppy Placement pup includes genetic testing (e.g. Embark-style DNA health and breed insight) so families can review results before committing.

- Clear communicationFoundational obedience is in place so daily life is easier for both of you.
- Potty habits underwayFewer accidents and less stress from day one.
- Academy training includedTypically a 3-4 week Crowned K9s Academy stay (board-and-train equivalent) before go-home.
- Built-in support after go-home2 follow-up sessions, a 1-week board & train credit (before age 1), and University Elite access.
What Happens After Go-Home

- Private community, lifetime training support, and discounts.
Placement fee reflects the puppy + training + included support.
Our next featured PPP puppies are Golden Retriever brothers Charlie and Owen. Charlie is reserved; we’re taking inquiries for Owen. Why we brought home both brothers—and how that shapes Owen’s training path—is in Meet Charlie & Owen below. Recent PPP graduate Kobe is with our success stories below. In Foundations, Stella has officially been placed and is now home as Skye—see the update on Foundations Rescue. Embark genetic testing applies to PPP puppies only—Foundations rescues use veterinarian-documented health screening, not DNA panel testing.
Why a Trained Puppy Costs More
It's not about the price — it's about what you're getting in return.
- You're not starting from scratch.These pups already understand structure, commands, and calm behavior — saving you months of trial and error.
- Peace of mind from day one.Less frustration, fewer accidents, and a smoother transition into your home.
- Skip expensive mistakes.New puppy owners often spend hundreds on emergency vet visits, damaged furniture, or trainers to fix bad habits. You're ahead of that curve.
- Ongoing support included.You're not on your own — you get follow-up sessions and direct access to the trainer who raised your pup.
- A better long-term fit.Each puppy is evaluated for temperament and matched to the right family, reducing the risk of behavioral surprises.
- Genetic testing for every pup.DNA health and breed insight (e.g. Embark) is part of the package—not an add-on—so you can review results with confidence.

If it feels right, you'll meet the pup in person to confirm the connection.
4

Payment plans may be available after fit is confirmed.
Coming Soon to PPP
Meet Charlie & Owen
Charlie is reserved. Owen is currently the available brother, and we’re taking inquiries while both boys move through Academy.
We’re bringing Charlie and Owen home on April 12 and putting both brothers through Crowned K9s Academy. The family that raised them met everything we look for—parents health-tested, intentional early socialization, microchipped puppies, current vaccinations, AKC registration, and consistent transparency.
Owen stood out early as the second-smallest and more reserved in group interactions. In our experience, puppies with that softer, shy temperament need especially thoughtful structure and socialization to build confidence. Training both brothers through Academy gives us the right environment to develop Owen well while keeping him available for the best-fit family.
Owen
In photos of the brothers together, Owen is the golden with the lighter “mask” around his eyes and nose.
Owen is Charlie’s brother and will move through our Premium Puppy Placement process with the same structure, communication, and training-first foundation that defines Crowned K9s PPP.
For the family who moves forward with Owen, this is not just bringing home a puppy. It is bringing home a calmer start, clearer communication, and a structured head start through Crowned K9s training.
Meet the Parents
Both brothers come from health-tested parents and a well-cared-for background.
Summer (mom) is the darker golden; Cooper (dad) is the classic lighter golden.
