Hi all,

We recently lost our Golden Retriever to old age and would like to start the process to get a new puppy. My wife has been looking online at breeders and has sent two inquiries out and she has had zero response. Does anybody here know a quality breeder that she should contact? Location in the west would be preferred but that is not a limiting factor.

Thank you for any suggestions, she’s dealing well with her grief but finding a new puppy even if it’s next year will help considerably.

Mike

PJM,

My wife found a breeder in Utah yesterday that hits all the points you mentioned in your first post. This breeder also had genetic information which my wife has been studying carefully. She has also seen examples of exactly what you mention in regards to puppy mill type of breeders. Another plus for this breeder is when my wife called her she answered the phone and was happy to converse as long as needed. Now, with my wife this can be a considerable amount of time. we still haven’t had a response from the two contacted over a week ago.

Anyway, she was very pleased with all the info garnered via the website, online reviews and her phone conversion so we sent a deposit for a pup from a liter planned for this spring. Perfect timing for us.

Thank you for taking the time to share your information and experiences with me.
