Puppy Pricing

At Texas TLC Goldens, we work very hard to keep our pricing fair and appropriate for the puppy and services received.  Quality puppies and services are not “cheap” but they should be fair, competitive with the market and not force us to operate at an actual loss.  Breeding Golden Retrievers responsibly and proper care for the puppies and dam is amazingly expensive when it’s done right.  As of this writing, we’ve not raised our prices in 3 years.  We have and continue to do extensive market research and we confident we are offering a great price for what you get.

Note:  please don’t bother to tell us you found a super cheap puppy elsewhere as we know our pricing is more than fair.  We actually love dogs and are NOT a puppy mill / backyard breeder.  We will not attempt to compete with irresponsible breeders at the expense of our much loved dogs and risk delivering a puppy to you that is terrified, completely un-socialized and likely to have health problems.

Pricing
    • All puppies are $2,900 regardless of sex
    • See “Discounts” section below for some ways to save.
    • The information on this page is the current plan but is subject to change.  Specific pricing will be announced with each litter.
    • All sales are subject to 8.25% Texas Sales Tax which will be added to the total. 
      • Required by law.
Discounts
  • Any processing fee you may have paid when you applied for the specific Dam’s wait list will be deducted from the final total before other discounts.
  • Military – $100 discount
    • We respect our American service people for their sacrifice and the sacrifice of their families make to protect us and our way of life.  If you and/or your spouse have ever been in the military, we will give a $100 discount off the published price and we thank you for your service.
When are payments due?

A non-refundable reservation fee of $300 will be required to reserve a puppy but the net fee will be applied as part of the final purchase payment due on delivery.  If for any reason we fail to deliver the puppy you have reserved and have paid the fee, your reservation fee will be refunded.  In all other cases the reservation fee is non-refundable.

The balance of the puppy price is due at or before the day you take your puppy home.

Forms of payment accepted

We prefer credit card payment but can also accept cash.  If you prefer Paypal or Venmo, contact us for details.  All checks of any type must be verified by the bank before receipt of puppy or a waiting period of at least 7 business days is required.  Personal checks always require the waiting period.  We do not accept business checks.  Total purchase price must be paid in full and verified  by the time you receive your puppy.
