When it comes to breeders, you have three basic options. Each will vary a bit and you should carefully consider the merits of each.

Listed below are the three main options and information about each one. Hopefully this information will help you come to a good decision.

Pet Shop or Dealer

The worst place you can purchase a Golden Retriever is the pet shop. Most of the time the animals for sale are ill bred and kept in shoddy conditions before arriving at the shop.

The goal of a pet shop is to make money and little else matters. This is a case where quantity definitely trumps quality.

Because of the breeding practices of those who sell to and through pet shops these shops generally, make quite a profit. They have little or no investment in the welfare of the puppies so it stands to reason they make a good deal of money.

Their primary buyers are those who impulsively purchase the dogs without giving a lot of thought to the health of the animal beforehand.

You want a Golden Retriever that will become a loving part of your family and stick around to a ripe old age and for that you should look anywhere but a pet shop.

Casual Retriever Breeders

Very rarely are they concerned with quality or intense care of the babies since most want to make some fast money and care about little else.

This type of breeder does not know a lot about their breed and probably know little about the proper care for Golden's.

These are people who are unfamiliar with common illnesses, ailments and problems with breeding and do not care to learn.

Hobby Golden Retriever Breeders

The best way to get your new Golden Retriever puppy is through a hobby breeder. This type of breeder is totally committed to the breed and care more about the puppies than their cash flow.

It would be rare for you to get a poor quality Golden Retriever from this breeder as quality and not quantity is the goal.
