My husband and I are looking to get a golden retriever puppy in the MA/NH area. We were wondering if anyone could recommend any reputable breeders in the area and if possible knew of any current or upcoming litters planned for 2013? We greatly appreciate any advice that you can give us.

Thank you

I would recommend Watersedge. Their upcoming litter is a Performance Litter so it depends on what type of puppy you are looking for.
I have a 6 month old puppy out of a Gaylan's cobreeding (Topmast) who's sire was Kamikaze: Pedigree: Raggedy Run Time Well Wasted MH *** WCX CCA

and I absolutely LOVE her. She has drive, a great energy level, loves to work and will try and do anything but at the same time has a perfect On/Off switch. She is a sweet and cuddly puppy also. My older male Golden (5.5 years old) loves her and both are very bonded already. He started playing and interacting with after she was home for three days. She's also been super respectful of him and other older dogs. Overall a perfect puppy. All the other owners for puppies from this litter also love them and have the same feedback. I would definitely recommend a breeding with Kamikaze as the sire.

BriGuy's Cookie was sired by Kazi's sire...nice pups!

I haven't posted before but I feel with this one I had to.

I got my beautiful Riley from Dan Roach in Rowley, MA. You can find him at justbehaving.com He specializes in breeding as well as training.

He was great all around and everyone only says great things about him. Now, we would never get another from anyone else.

Riley is now 8 months and we have no issues. I couldnt ask for anything more

So can we find clearances on the Justbehaving.com Goldens?

I stand by my earlier recommendations.....

I checked out Just Behaving Dogs and not one Dam for their current litters have the required clearances on OFFA. Only one of the Sires have any clearances on OFFA (and only hips and elbows). None of the dogs are shown in performance or breed events.
More amazing is that some of the puppies are being sold for $2100.

Stick with the other recommendations already provided.
