What to expect
Completing this application is a step in the process to acquiring a puppy from Ivory Tails Golden Retrievers, but it does not guarantee I'll get a puppy from this or any future litter. While it's unlikely, the breeder reserves the right to refuse any placement at any time.

If this application is approved, we text you from cell number 8083753500. We allow 2 male and 2 female picks prior birth. Rest of picks are available after birth. There is a $500 non-refundable deposit to secure your pick.

Please note our deposit policy: if you make a deposit, you are committing to take a puppy from the litter, regardless of whether your color preference is available. Should you elect to not take a puppy from the litter, the deposit is forfeited or transferred to next litter. Please understand each litter is priced differently. Deposits are non-refundable unless dam does not whelp enough puppies from agreed pair.

From time to time we may decide to keep a puppy out of a litter. We reserve the right to hold puppies. This may mean that certain puppies may not be available for a couple weeks while we decide on if we may keep the said puppy or not.

Puppy pick is done at 5-6 weeks of age in order in which deposits are received. We do not allow any visitors into our house until pick up day. We can either send pictures, videos, FaceTime, WhatsApp call, or zoom call for puppy pick. We do our best to help assist in your pick.

Puppies will go to their new homes at 8 weeks. We cannot hold puppies for extended times; it is critical for their social development that the litter departs within a reasonable timeframe. Puppies must be picked up within 4 days unless other written arrangements are made. Any additional days will require boarding cost of $30/day starting on day 5 and payment is to be made in advance at 8 weeks of age.

We have a contract and will not place a puppy without a signed contract. We believe it's the professional thing to do to memorialize our obligations to each other on paper so there are no questions later, and for that reason it's a bit lengthy. If you have questions about specific terms, you need to contact us prior to picking up your puppy.

All our puppies are sold either without AKC registration or with Limited AKC registration. We do require pups to be spay/neutered at 18mo-2 years of age.
