My husband and I are looking for a male English Golden Retriever puppy and are possibly interested in this breeder. We are located in West Michigan and would prefer not to travel a significant distance or have a dog shipped.

I didn't see anything about OFA Elbow certifications so I called and inquired. The woman said there were no issues in their lines so didn't see a reason to check. I said it was required by the GRCA and didn't understand why that was done the same time as the hips? She repeated about the lines and I said responsible breeding would check just to make sure. She said I convinced her and she would call her vet and have Piper tested. She expects to breed her with Quinn-Jrs Goldens when Piper goes into heat in the next few months.
We have been looking or a puppy for months now and keep running into issues like this that make us walk away. All of our American Goldens have had major health issues. Miles passed before 2 from sub aortic stenosis. We lost our boy Wilson in January at 11 to a squamous cell nasal tumor after he miraculously recovered from cutaneous lymphoma at age 6. Sherman is still with us at age 9, but he's had two bouts of mast cell cancer and has ruptured both of his CCLs. We just want a healthy family dog, but are having a hard time finding the right puppy. Thank you in advance for your help.
