SIGRC - Puppy Referral
Before you buy
a Golden check the Golden Retriever Club of American
website
http://www.grca.org. Not all Dogs are created equal.
A good breeder cares about health clearances and should
be a resource for the buyer for the life of the dog.
They will take back the dog in the event unforeseen
circumstances force you to give up your dog. Finding a
reputable breeder is the most important step in getting a healthy happy puppy!
If you can consider a rescue Golden,

This document
contains breeder names and contact information. While we
ask that breeders have bred from sires and dams with all
genetic clearances that are suggested in the Golden
Retriever Club of America Code of Ethics, we do not
visit these breeders nor do we verify the clearances. It
is up to the buyer to ask for them and also to ask other
appropriate questions.
PLEASE go to
the Golden Retriever Club of America website,
http://www.grca.org
This will be of
great help to you in your search for a new puppy. To

List of Golden Breeders
Breeders on
this list may or may not have puppies. It is quite
possible that you will need to get on a waiting list
since there are usually more buyers than breeders for
well bred Golden puppies. Please seek out qualified
breeders. Pet
stores usually get their puppies from puppy mills and
backyard breeders who usually list in the classifieds.
Both usually do not have health clearances nor do they
breed for temperament. You may be in for major problems
if you purchase a puppy without
health and temperament clearances. In addition, a good
breeder will always take back a dog that for whatever
reason it must be returned. A good breeder will also
have a number of questions for you. This will help them
match the perfect puppy to your family.
