Step 1: Application

If you are interested in reserving a puppy for this upcoming litter then you must first fill out the PUPPY APPLICATION and submit it for review. This helps us know more about you and what you are looking for in a puppy.

Step 2: Guarantee/Contract

Read our PUPPY GUARANTEE/CONTRACT so that you know what we are mutually agreeing upon before entering this agreement together.

Step 3: Deposit & Total Cost

Once you decide that you would like to move forward with getting a Southern Golden puppy, we will complete the contract with the pertinent details and email you the contract. This email will include instructions for returning the signed contract along with the $300 deposit. The total cost will be sent once a Puppy Application is completed and reviewed.

Step 4: Puppy Selection

Once the puppies are born, we will send you pictures and videos a few times to show you their progress. At 6 weeks, we will send Individual Photos & Videos of each puppy with a description of the puppy. Then we will ask for your selection as we contact each new owner in order. You will need to pay 50% of the remaining balance at this time of the “Puppy Selection.”

Step 5: Puppy Pick Up Day

We will notify you of the days that you can pick up your puppy. We usually provide you a few different days so that we can accommodate your schedule. You will pay the final 50% balance when you pick your puppy up to go home.
