Golden Retriever Puppies How To Find A Healthy Puppy With The Ideal Temperament!

Golden retriever puppies have just got to be the cutest looking things in the world! But

, these beautiful little bundles of fluff get bigger. And unless you know about their background you could end up with bad tempered, unhealthy adult dog. Lets look at some ways to make choosing a good natured retriever easier that can also minimize any health problems they may suffer from later in life.

Where is the best place to get your golden retriever puppies?

Well, first of all lets look at 3 main places that prospective dog owners have to purchase their new golden from.

1 - Pet Store This is probably one of the worst places to even consider buying your dog from. Although the pet store in essence should know all about the animals they supply to a customer,(and some do) in truth lots of them just want to sell as many as they can and are not bothered where they came from! Many stores just want to sell and make a profit. Theres usually not much thought gone into the quality of breeders that they have acquired them from.

2 - Home Breeders Regard this another poor choice for breeders. These tend to be people who have dogs and they are maybe considering getting the female spayed. Before they do this the thought of making some money comes to mind! Typically this kind of breeder doesn't really have a clue about looking after the puppies or even how to check their health. They just see it as a way to make some quick cash. Once the puppies have been bred all they want to do is sell them for as much as they can.

3 - Reputable Breeders Finding these breeders is not so easy but it is well worth the time looking for them and investigating them. They are usually dog lovers who may make some spare income from selling some of their puppies but money is not in the forefront of their mind. The welfare and health of their dogs however is! They will most likely show their dogs and will have plenty of trophies and awards that they want to proudly show off to you. Because they are enthusiastic and love their golden retrievers all they want is for the puppies to go to a nice loving home. This sort of golden retriever breeder would be where you would want to get your new puppy from.

Choosing a puppy with the right personality begins with looking at the parents. A caring breeder will be more than happy to let you see the breeding pair and let you get to know them. This way you can see what sort of temperament they have as this will be passed down to the puppies.

Health problems in later years can be minimized by asking the breeder if you can see any papers they have that shows that the adults have been checked for any inherent problems or diseases. A hip problem in elderly goldens is known as hip dysplasia and is common in this breed of dog. You should check with the breeder if the parents of the puppy have been checked for this problem by the OFA. This is a test that is based around using an x ray diagnostic tool. If the breeder tells you that you dont need to bother with things like that, hear those alarm bells ringing and move on!

Finding the best golden retriever puppy is quite simply down to finding the right breeder. While Im not saying all pet stores are uncaring and the same would be said for your backroom or home breeders , but the sensible choice would be to find yourself a reputable breeder. Take the time to get to know the parents of the puppy you are looking to buy and you will know basically what sort of temperament the puppy will have when it grows up. None of us has a crystal ball to look into the future to definitely say there will be no health problems. But by asking to see any certificate of proof to show there are no known diseases or in-bred health problems that may exist in the parents, you shortening the odds of there being any major future risks.
