Referral
GRCA Golden
Retriever Rescue
Conscientious Golden
Retriever breeders accept responsibility for the living creatures
they produce. They commit to being available to you for the
dog's lifetime for help, information, advice and education.
They may require that a dog of their breeding be returned
to them, if at any point in its lifetime you cannot keep it.
Most will want to interview you by phone or in person before
placing a puppy in your home. Remember to ask if they provide
a written contract, so that you understand the breeder's and
your responsibilities.

Breed Standard
Irresponsible breeders do not screen
breeding pairs for commonly inherited health concerns. Nor
do they screen for homes and lifestyles appropriate to owning
a Golden Retriever. Buyer beware!
