Golden Retrievers are one of the most family oriented dogs and are great with kids. It is important to purchase your Golden from a responsible breeder. Please do your research and don’t be afraid to ask questions. If you do not get the answers you are looking for, move on. This is a 10 to 15 year commitment. Take your time. It is common to wait up to 6 months or more for the right puppy but it is worth the wait. Most reputable breeders will be interviewing you. You should be interviewing them also. I have posted some of my own guidelines on the Golden Info page of this web site along with some important information about the breed. Please feel free to contact us with any questions that you might have and we hope that you enjoy our web site.
