If in my search I found a breeder I thought raised their pups in kennels they got put in my second group of breeders (assuming they were otherwise good).Īlso let me know if any of these breeders produce dogs that are "too much" to be solely family pets for the average owner. But lots of breeders don't mention where their puppies are raised so I would like that info if you have it. I don't want to suggest kennel raised pups, I just don't like the idea. One thing I'm curious about for ALL of the breeders is whether they raise their pups in the house or in a kennel. Don't worry if you only know about one breeder out of all of them, I want to hear it! So if anyone has info on any of these breeders, especially the "questionable" ones please pass it along. The other group are breeders who are missing stuff, don't have enough info, or I have questions about. One group is breeders who based on their websites have no issues, they seem great. So I'm hoping you can help me out with that. I want to send them a list of breeders I'm really confident in. To really know my aunt and uncle would have to talk with the breeder but I don't know if they'll really understand enough about health test and such to see past a breeder's excuse or inadequate explanation. For all I know they're perfect and just don't provide enough info on their website for me to know that. I don't want to scratch them off the list without knowing that they're not up to par for certain. Some are missing some tests but don't indicate if the dog has ever been bred or seem awesome except for one thing, and some just don't post a lot of info on their websites. Have all health tests on their dogs, title their dogs, talk about their breeding philosophy, etc. So I guess I'm looking for opinions on and experiences with these breeders. I'm avoiding strictly hunting/field breeders as I don't think my aunt and uncle would be the right fit for that sort of dog. I finished my search and have come out with a list of about 40 breeders that at least seem decent based on their website. I knew there would be a lot but boy are there a LOT. So I looked for golden breeders in the New England area. I didn't want them going to some BYB so I mentioned that breeder research is a hobby of mine (I've been trying to compile a directory of good breeders for the last few years) and that I'd love to help them in their breeder search. I think a golden would probably be a better fit for their personalities(or maybe I've just met too many crazy labs working in doggy daycare). My aunt and uncle are looking at getting a puppy now that their kids are old enough (twins, going into 3rd grade) and are either getting a golden or a lab. Hello all, I joined this forum for some advice/opinions on breeders in New England.
