And of course, you need to have a really fancy website with a Paypal button.

I second your comments above. Double B Golden puppies are adorable and well taken care of. The parents of our pup and others that were on site were well mannered and beautiful. The owner and her children were delightful. We have friends in Fort Collins that have purchased pups from them and they are amazing looking dogs and healthy. I would highly recommend this breeder. If you are looking for this breed it would be worth your wild to give them a look. I wanted to take them all home but could only get one.

Chances are high that puppies from this breeder, DoubleB Goldens will have hereditary issues such as hip and crippling elbow dysplasia. They are not following the GRCA's code of ethics for breeding golden retrievers in the USA. There are hereditary issues in this breed no matter if they are imported or not. Cutting corners and not breeding ethically will short change you, the pet owner, of precious years with your pet. Is that something you're willing to risk?

Litter #1

Dam: Meclen's Graceful Belle
http://www.offa.org/display.html?appnum=1540022#animal
No hip or elbow clearances. They state she has a Penn Hip clearance for hips but this is impossible to verify as there is no database. They also claim elbows are clear of DJD but no one clears elbows but OFA. No clearances on her sire or dam either. She is not yet two years old which is when clearances can be done.

Sire: Double B's Dually
No record in OFA database.
State Penn Hip but again not verifiable. They also claim the elbows are clear but impossible as dogs need to be two for OFA elbow clearances and they would be on the database. His CERF exam is expired.

EYES CERF # : GR360057

Normal both R and L feye"

I have never purchased a pup with underage parents. And do not get me started on practitioner heart clearances...

Saw this on the website: "We test our dogs temperament with certified children so they can be around any age of person."

Does OFA certify children too?

Lol!!! I want some certified children!! Sign me up!

So I guess my little red-headed irish lass can't be a certified child.

I just love when people breed for confirmation...I guess the dogs belong to a church?
It should be Conformation! So sad when you don't know or can't spell one of your main goals.

Also sad is the number of photos showing these dogs incredibly over weight. Perhaps that is contributing to the lack of OFA hip and elbow clearences. Or, it could be PennHip is more appealing to them since they can be done at or after 16 weeks. What is amazing to me is they have dogs that have OFA hip and elbow clearences as recently as October 30, 2012. So, not sure why they are not doing them on all their breeding dogs.
