Golden jut had pups two weeks ago

Question
I actually have a few questions number one being how old do pups have to be when I can allow them to be taken to other homes?  Second, I just found out that my male was only registered as a "limited registration" and his offspring cannot be registered.  All the dogs are full blood golden retrievers and I am also curious how much I should sell them for.  I thought that I should just give them to wanting families but then I thought what about helping me pay the vet bills, then I thought that I should ask somthing for the puppies so that I have folks look at them whom are truly wanting a pup and not someone who is just wanting a free pup.  Do I still ask questions like I normally would in "interviewing" potential dog owners.  Any help you can give me would be appreciated

Answer
Puppies need to be atleast 8 weeks old before they go to their new homes. About the price, the best thing I can tell you to do is to look in your local paper and see what others are selling their puppies for. Then, of course, take some off because they don't have papers. Puppies cost different amounts in different areas. So, it's kind of hard to tell you to charge this amount, without knowing what they usually cost in your area. I don't want to have you charging too much, and I don't want you to be cheated either. Golden pups in my area without papers usually sell for about $100-$150. It may be different in your area. Yes! Definitely interview people like you would for a champion puppy. Even if you just gave them away, you still want to make sure that they go to great homes. Trust me, if someone has a problem with you asking questions, then you don't want them to have one of your puppies. I tell people straight up, if you have a problem with me checking you out first, then you don't even need to bother here. If I can help anymore, let me know!
