I was wondering how some of you first discovered the forum? I found it when I was researching cancer in goldens, just before Barnaby had his surgery. Hi to all!.

To be honest, I was looking for a Golden retriever forum. I've always been a member of forums and love the honest truth you learn from people with hands on experience. So I googled golden retriever forums.. checked out a few but this is deff the best one :D I browsed then joined right away. Haven't looked back!

I found it when Tally was just a baby, and I wanted so much to learn about positive training and clickers, bc I had trained so many dogs with the Monks Of New Skete and Winifred Strickland. I went on a big research spree, and found the forum.

I was looking for breeder information sometime after losing my first golden FeatherRiverSam, Sammie. Shortly after my rescue Woody found me...a total surprise...I hadn't even filled out any rescue paperwork...it was just meant to be.

I received a very warm welcome here and I was hooked!:)

When Mr. Tuff came to live with me he was my first Golden. I knew nothing of the breed so I searched online until I stumble upon GRF. I read posts and visited frequently before joining. The welcome from so many GReat folks sold me.

And what a great question to ask.:)

I found the forum after Lillie suddenly passed away. I was in shock & was desperately searching for answers.

I lurked for a couple of months to be honest. My hubby finally told me I could look for a puppy. But it had to be from a hobby breeder with clearances. We found her through this forum & now we have Maddie. :D

I feel very fortunate to have found this community!!

I was the newsletter editor of our local Golden Retriever rescue and I researched a lot of articles on my own and wrote them for the group. I was researching for a topic and found the forum. I lurked, then joined, but didn't really post a lot until a few months later, then my Barkley suddenly collapsed early one morning before the vet clinic was opened- I posted a question in a panic and caring people answered me immediately. We ended up going through a splenectomy, hemangiosarcoma diagnosis and the long goodbye with him and the support I received was tremendous. I was hooked....:)

Jack is my first Golden & I kept googleing & always came up with GRF I came on as a non-member & lurked,then started asking questions & so many on here where friendly & ready to help I had to join.Everyone helped as I struggled with my Golden shark & as I fell in love with him & the breed.When Barb said I could get another but it had to be female & light colored everyone helped me search & we found Sweetie.GRF is stuck with me.Made so many online friends here & have met a couple & hope to meet more!

That is so funny you posted this. I was thinking about starting a thread asking "What were you googling when you found this forum"

For me is was the following:

GR puppy crying in crate
GR puppy biting
GR puppy is the Devil :)

Back in 1995 when we got our first Golden I was a member of the G@H Golden Retriever mail list but lost touch as the years went by. After Maggie went to the Bridge and my DD gave me Hank as a birthday gift, I started looking for a GR group and found the GRF.
