Looking for a Golden puppy or young dog. I really like the English (white) but we are not picky on the color... Does anyone know a repuatble breeder or rescue?

I doubt you're on FB. :p But there is about 20 GR group pages that you can join. I'm on a couple Aussie Shepard sites that are very helpful.

I have rescued 2 and am a foster family.

Southern California Golden Retriever rescue.

I think it's great for you to possibly rescue. Plenty of awesome dogs

My buddy just a white lab waited for the litter to hatch and then the 8weeks after the birth cost him $3,000. He got Max in the middle of December.
I haven’t met the new pup yet. He’s a cutie!

Thanks for posting this! I am getting close to getting another dog, my Doberman passed last year..
My next dog will be a rescue dog for sure.

I found this goofy asshole chained up to a fence post in a field. Nobody claimed him and I haven’t been able to get him to leave for eight years. Great dogs!

Awesome! I found this guy abandoned at a bank repo in the back yard in 2011. Most stubborn dog I have ever met but he’s been really good for the most part. He’s 14-15 now.

Picture of our two creams. Bloodlines on the one in the foreground are English. In the background is Sally who was born in Serbia. Supposedly less inbreading and cancer in the European bloodlines. We've had quite a few Goldens and the creams seem to be the most calm, even more calm than the American Goldens. We bought each

I don't have a breeder for you, but we're on our 2nd golden, with one black lab mix in-between. The lab mix assured us that we would never own any other breed than a golden. They just fit our lifestyle the best. Our current girl is only a couple months older than one of my daughters, they have grown up together. My daughter can use the dog as a step stool to get on the couch. It's pretty entertaining to watch!

Good luck on your search, can't wait to see pics of the pup!

I don't know of any breeders. But good ones are hard to come by and hard to get into " their circle". A puppy, a good one is going to run you $2-8k from a breeder. But if you do rescue id recommend Bunnies Buddies out of San Diego, they rescue the dogs from Asia. Sd deal what those dogs have to go through.


Heres my buddy, Charlie. Rescued him at 10 months and now a year and half. Best dogs in the world.

I know someone who is breeding them and expecting a litter in a week or so. They are in Riverside and have a place at Lost Lake. She has a FB and Instagram page. Let me know if you need contact info.

I'm in need of a puppy too, but California prices are absolutely crazy. I have been talking to breeders in TX, OK, MS, areas and have been quite impressed and the prices are more realistic for my budget. Lots of facebook group pages that will help you.

I agree that prices here in CA are pretty high. I'm willing to travel for the right dog/price.

We have Dogue de Bordeaux’s (French Mastiffs). Two of the four were born outside of CA. Sometimes you have to go out of state. Though with how common Goldens are, I’m shocked at the prices I’ve seen on this post!

Look in Colorado also for Goldens.

We bought this guy from some family that had a litter. No AKC or anything just all the shot records and vet care invoices. I was nervous but I don’t think I’ll ever have a better dog to hang out with for the rest of my life.

This......and it's not just Goldens.
I think good dog breeders have been one of the biggest beneficiaries of C19.

The wife and I have had a half dozen of these wonderful animals , after the last one passed , we decided to get a Lab but still have a special affection for Golden retreivers (painting from a photo with Woody and our Grandaughter)

Do they still have her? We are waffling on a rescue or a puppy at our house right now. Our house is missing some love right now since all of our pets have passed.

Goldens are definitely people pleasers. Only surpassed by Newfoundlands. We’ve had both. Our 100# Golden was a 1 yr old Rescue from Ventura County Animal Shelter.

Stacy,
She is still there , You have to go through a qualifying process. Give us a call and we will walk you through the steps.
