About Us + FAQs

Welcome to The Pupperfish™ - a shop born from pure golden retriever obsession and a whole lot of joy. We’re proud parents to three goldens: Ozzy (8), Emma (5), and Mazzy (3). They’re the inspiration behind everything we do and the heart of our brand.

The name “Pupperfish” came from Ozzy, our first-born, who as a puppy would wiggle onto his back and bite the air like a little fish while we rubbed his belly. Add his love for the water, and the nickname stuck- and eventually became our brand.

Today, The Pupperfish™ is dedicated to curating unique, high-quality golden retriever–themed gifts from trusted makers and vendors. Our goal is to bring you fun, meaningful, beautifully made items that ship quickly and spread happiness- whether you're treating yourself or someone who adores goldens.

If you love golden retrievers (or love someone who does), you’re in the right place.
Thanks for being here- and be sure to follow us on Facebook, Instagram and TikTok for daily golden joy.

Q&As

Ordering & Products

What kinds of products do you offer?

We sell Golden Retriever-themed gifts, home décor, garden decor, apparel, greeting cards, and handmade items.

Are the products handmade or mass produced?

Many of our items are thoughtfully handcrafted, either by us or in partnership with local makers. We personally create a selection of our greeting cards, zipper pouches, totes, and baseball caps in our small studio in Connecticut. All t-shirt and printed greeting cards are designed by us.

To offer the most complete and joyful collection for Golden Retriever lovers, we also carefully source a limited number of items from trusted global partners, including a small selection from China. Every product- no matter where it’s made- is chosen with intention, quality, and Golden Retriever love in mind.

Brand & Community

What is the story behind The Pupperfish™ ?

The Pupperfish™ was born from our deep love for Golden Retrievers and life with our three Goldens—Ozzy, Emma, and Mazzy. Inspired by Ozzy’s goofy “pupperfish” puppy antics and a shared passion for spreading joy, we created a place where Golden Retriever lovers can find thoughtful, happy-making gifts all in one spot.

To learn more about our story and the pups behind the brand, you can visit our full About Us page.

Do you donate to any rescues or charities?

Yes. We support Yankee Golden Retriever Rescue, and donate 1% of our proceeds to support their mission.

How can I share my own pupper pics or stories?

We encourage you to share your Pupperfish items, or moments, with us! Please tag your photos with #thepupperfish for further engagement with our community. We can be found on Facebook, Instagram and TikTok.

Do you only sell online?

At this time, yes. However, our plan is to attend local craft shows starting in the summer of 2026. Stay tuned for more details!
