Do you prefer a male or a female puppy?

Family Information
How many adults live in your home?
How many children live in your home? (ages of children)
Describe the expected daily life for the puppy. (Will he/she be home alone all day, work schedule, daily walks etc)
Does anyone in your family have any allergies to animals? If yes, please explain.
If there any relationship/ work/ living arrangement changes, would this effect ownership of the puppy?
Is everyone in the household prepared for all the challenges and responsibilities that come with raising a puppy?
Puppies are A LOT of work especially the first 6 months. They will require a lot of time and training. They are not fully trained when they leave me and will require continuous effort on your part. The work you put in to your puppy will benefit you later on. Are you prepared for the amount of work and energy a puppy will be?
What diet are you planning to feed your puppy?
Examples: kibble, raw, fresh. If you have a brand in mind please list that also. If unsure just put unsure. I am more than happy to send resources for research on foods if you need it.

Housing Information

Miscellaneous
Are you currently on another breeder's wait-list?
How did you hear about Pawmetto Goldens?
Do you agree to notify me of any need to rehome your puppy and bring the dog to me?

YesNo
Do you understand that this dog is sold with no breeding rights and is limited AKC registration? (unless previously discussed and agreed upon)

YesNo
Do you have a litter preference? Timeline preference?
The majority of our dogs come from field lines so their pups will be great for families wanting an active companion. If a family is searching for a couch potato of a dog, these guys are not going to be it.
Have you ever been convicted of an animal related crime, such as cruelty to animals, animal theft, or animal abandonment or any type of assault charges?

Conclusion
What is your preferred method of contact if approved?
My main method of contact is through Messenger but I understand that doesn’t work for everyone, if you have another method that you prefer, please select it so that I can communicate properly. I will try to communicate via whatever method you select.
Please acknowledge if you have inquired about pricing? (Yes or No)
I understand that everyone has a different budget and realize my puppy prices may not work with every budget, this is why I ask to please message about pricing before filling out the application.
Do you understand that you will not meet your puppy until pickup day?
Since puppy health and safety is my number one concern, I have a no visitation policy. Puppy pictures and videos are posted at least 2x a week and I try to do weekly individual pictures as well. I completely understand that this policy is a dealbreaker for some and I like to make sure I’m upfront about it before anyone gets their hopes up about a puppy.
I understand that if I am approved and submit a holding fee, my holding fee is NON REFUNDABLE if I back out for any reason.

YesNo
Please acknowledge that you have reviewed your answers and everything is filled out and truthful.

YesNo
Is there anything else you feel I need to know, or do you have any questions or comments?
I am aware that filling out this application does not guarantee a hold on a puppy and will be used for general screening purposes only
LOCATION CHANGE
We moved about an hour and 15 minutes away from Summerville. We are in between Orangeburg and Aiken. SC now with the closest town being Salley, SC. Will this location change be an issue?
I am able to meet for pickups in Summerville once per litter. I ask that any families be flexible with this so that I can meet multiple families on the same day and minimize travel on my end. Also able to meet in other close by cities such as: Columbia, Aiken etc.
