DISCLAIMER
GHGRC strongly recommends that you buy a Golden Retriever puppy
only from a reputable breeder who, as a minimum, can provide copies
of hip, elbow, eye, and cardiac health clearances for both sire
and dam of the litter. The article and links on this site should
provide you with information about those clearances. GHGRC encourages
puppy buyers to thoroughly evaluate health and temperament of any
puppies offered for sale.
On occasion a breeder may choose to do a breeding where one or
both parents lacks one of the recommended health clearances. Should
you be offered a puppy from such a litter, it is your responsibility
to assess the situation and determine if you are willing to accept
the risk in purchasing that puppy.
This Breeders List is provided as information only. GHGRC is not
responsible for the appearance, health or temperament of any puppy
obtained through the above information. GHGRC is unable to do site
inspections of breeders listed by the Club. GHGRC is not responsible
for the physical condition of the puppies, the breeder’s adult
