Do yourself a favor and please read the information
on this link BEFORE you find a sweet, cuddly puppy
and just can't resist taking it home!

Acquiring a Golden Retriever

Additionally, please read the information on this web
site "About Goldens."

Buying a Golden Retriever is a lifelong commitment and not an impulse decision. Our public education volunteer will be happy to give you more information about purchasing a Golden Retriever from a reputable breeder, and how you can determine if you are dealing with a "reputable" breeder. 

For information or assistance please call:

THERE ARE A LOT OF PUPPY MILLS OUT THERE!
Educate yourself to insure you are
aware of what you are getting.  Ask a lot of questions!

PLEASE BE AWARE OF WHO YOU ARE BUYING A PUPPY
FROM.  PEOPLE WHO RUN PUPPY MILLS KNOW THE RIGHT
THINGS TO SAY TO CONVINCE YOU THAT IT'S NOT IMPORTANT
TO HAVE CURRENT HIP, ELBOW, EYE, AND HEART CLEARANCES ON BOTH PARENTS.

DON'T BE FOOLED!  INSIST ON SEEING THE PAPERS
OR DON'T BUY!  A reputable breeder will always give you a copy
of all health clearances on both parents.  If they don't -- walk away!
PROTECT YOURSELF.

Reputable breeders will ask for a lot of information from you.
Please give it freely. The breeder is not only concerned that the
puppy is going to a good home, but that the home is ready for
the puppy.
