My partner and I are looking for our first puppy—and we came across Golden Hills in Lake Hughes, CA. They had a pup for us to pick up later this year. We took advise from this forum and made sure to look for OFA links. We have received these links for the parents. They look okay to me, but I’m...

We’re in the process of picking which breeder to go with and one has her clearance for eyes but it’s noted she has A3 Distichiasis. Her other two eye exams over the years were clear, most recent one noted the distichiasis. I saw some older posts saying they wouldn’t worry as long as parents...

Hi, I'm new to this forum. I recently lost my beautiful golden, Grace, to cancer. She came from a backyard breeder. Nice people and they love their dogs but they know nothing about breeding. I can't judge them because I knew nothing when I got her. Sweet, loving, obedient, loyal...she was all I...

Hi Golden Community! I grew up with Goldens and if there is anything I've learned from the experiences with our beloved Goldens it is that finding a good breeder is done by word of mouth. I am reaching out to see if anyone can provide some recommendations. My husband and I recently out of our...
