Hi, Pls could some one share the contact details of Ms.Radhika..My son has been wanting to adopt a golden retriever puppy and I joined this forum today while looking to find a puppy,and came across some posts in this forum...Pls do share the contact details..

 

Welcome to the forum.

I suggested to the original poster to contact the Golden Retriever Club of India, he was able to find her contact info on the site, it's in the first post of this thread.

Here's the link for the GRC of India-

:: ::* Golden Retriever Club India* :: ::

They also have a FB page-

https://www.facebook.com/The-Golden-Retriever-Club-India-1749571978603163/

 

Thanks a lot,I couldn’t though seem to find the contact details or Ms.Radhika on this link...In case someone already has them,Pls do share.

 

She is listed as the Secretary on the Committee listings, perhaps if you contact the GR Club of India via the website through the "Contact Us" link, you will be able to get her contact information.

GRF Rule#4

Hi guys, I am trying to buy golden retriever from past one month for my home as a companion dog to my parents. The cost I observed is above 25k for a puppy with KCI certification and microchip. I will share the details I gathered from the breeders in dogsindia.com. If anyone want to purchase, please go ahead. I called 3-4 breeders listed. You can see the dam, sire pictures and full details of the puppies in the website (http://www.dogsindia.com/golden_retriever.htm).
Although I didn't meet anyone personally, Ms. Praneela (ethical breeder) of chiming bell kennels have puppies at present with price range starting from 35k to 45k.

Ms. Murchana of Bessie kennel are of 60k and 80k. She said to call back after 2 months for puppies of 30k. The price is based on the quality of puppies.
Elixer kennels with price of 40k-45k.

Mr. Praveen start delivering to new homes, I assume. The price is from 25k to 35k.

I called Ms.Radhika, but unfortunately the call was not answered.

So far this is the info I know. Hope it is useful for you guys.
If anyone knows information of pure breed, good quality puppies, please share the details. I am interested in buying.

Thank you.

 

Hello everyone!

I have been wanting to get a golden retriever and this forum has helped me a lot to find good ethical breeders but nearly all of the breeders posted here have english cream golden retrievers. I am actually interested in a golden coloured retriever so can anyone tell me a good ethical breeder with golden coloured retrieves? Thanks!

 

Hi

Have you been able to find a Golden Coloured retriever? I'm looking for the same too.

 

Hi all,

How are you?
Im looking to buy a Golden Retriever pup but not from Bangalore. Had a bad experience, going through the forum, i believe Radhika Chadrasekar is a ethical breeder. Can you please share her contact details? Thanks

 

Welcome to the forum.

Here is some info from the first post of this thread that may help you contact the breeder. If you read through the posts in this thread on the pages, there is more info too.

2 :: ::Â* Golden Retriever Club IndiaÂ* :: ::: Carolina Mom from this forum suggested that I look here for info, I got the contact details for Ms. Radhika Chandrashekhar from the website. I initially asked her if she knew any breeders in or around Mumbai. She mentioned that she didn't and was a breeder herself. Even though at this point I wasn't considering getting a pup from Chennai, she spent the best part of an hour speaking with me and making me aware of issues with breeders. I spoke with my wife and we thought we might want to consider her as she was obviously knowledgeable, cared for her dogs and was the only one out of the lot that was actually vetting prospective clients. I am visiting her on the 27th, and will have a look at her adult dogs then. We are very keen on her and will most probably finalise the pup around that time. I could see the pedigree of the dam and sire on k9data (rarer than you'd think here)

 

Radhika’s contqct details seem to be old and she isn’t contactable at those numbers or email...If anyone has the latest contact details pls do share.

 

I sent you a Private Message with some details I managed to find. Good luck!.

 

Radhika is in the UK at present and was judging in Scotland over the weekend. Hopefully you will be able to contest her when she returns. Annef

 

I want to tell you guys with my experience, if you are planning to adopt golden retriever, make sure you have rough surface in your home. Goldens come under large breed and will have problem walking on tiles and marble (smooth surfaces). Most of this breed have hip dysplasia disease occuring genetically. When you go for adopting, make sure you have vet checked the mother and father. Have x ray of the golden to confirm that it doesn't have that disease. The disease worsens if make golden walk in smooth surface. Trust me, you dont want to see your beloved golden like that after adopting one. Most of the breeders do not say these. Some times they dont know whether their goldens are having that disease. Only x-ray will confirm that.

 

Hi,i can't seem to get through the number I have for Mrs.Radhika..Not sure if someone has contacted her recently and could share her contact number.

Hi everyone

This thread is meant to help people in India looking for responsible breeders here. I am sharing my experiences. The thread itself is going to be a work in progress for a little while, as I haven't confirmed my decision yet, so will add to it as and when I get more information.

I live in Mumbai, but was happy to travel in order to find the breeder in question.

My criteria for shortlisting was based on the breeders' patience answering my questions, and their openness to us visiting them and their adult dogs.

My final shortlist was down to 2 breeders, which I will get to in a minute.

Here are the breeders that didn't make it. Please note that I'm not saying that they are necessarily bad breeders, just that I was more comfortable going elsewhere. Do feel free to let us know if you think we are wrong.

1. Yashbans in Bangalore: They are quite big here, but I got the feeling that it was too much of a business for them. They had differential pricing based on the pups' conformation to breed standards, which I wasn't a fan of. I got a guy called Delano Henriques Dogs Training | Everything For Your Dog to advise me as well, and he wasn't too keen on this breeder either.
Prices: INR 60-75k, 100k for the pick of the litter

2. Kaps Pets Mumbai: Seemed promising, they're agents for breeders and source their dogs from different parts of the country. I had a god conversation with the owner, but subsequent calls to them made me feel like not enough vetting happens at this place, and there is a higher than average probability of ending up with a pup from a puppy mill.
Prices: INR 30k or so, they have a price list on their website.

3. Poornima Nagarkar, Ambergold Kennels, Pune: This is basically a family run operation, and I had a couple of very good conversations with Ms. Nagarkar. She was very open to having us visit her before deciding. The only issue for us was timing, she will have pups available around Feb 2015, and we were looking at October/November. She was concerned about our lifestyles and how we would care for the dog. I would definitely consider her if it weren't for the schedule.

4. Murchana Barooah: I didn't really speak with her, but she was highly recommended by pretty much everyone. In fact, one of the 2 breeders we were keen on have got their bitch from her.

5. Vinod Gatta, Bangalore: Didn't seem very enthused with the idea of us visiting his adult dogs, conversation didn't go any further.

6. https://www.facebook.com/drtkennels.ankeetatikka?fref=ts: She came recommended by a friend who knows someone that got a dog from her. I got the feeling that she was also an 'agent' and my wife and I had decided to avoid them if we could, so didn't go further. She can source American goldens if that is something that you're looking for. We were initially, but then decided that we don't care about how they look, and would decide on a dog based on overall health and temperament.



Now coming to the ones that we are considering..

1. https://www.facebook.com/HappyMindsKennels: They're based in Bangalore, my wife and I visited their home recently. They have 3 adult Golden Retrievers, a Siberian Husky and a German Shepherd. The dogs they are mating were both there and have won numerous shows. They were very patient with our questions and let us spend a lot of time with their dogs. The female is from Ms. Barooah's kennel mentioned above. My concern was that they would keep the pups for 12 weeks before sending them to their homes. Whilst this is in itself not a bad thing for them to do, we got the feeling that their dogs get little exercise, they are free to run around in the house, but not a lot of time dedicated to walking/running with them. The male was very hyper and unruly (very very friendly though, so it was a lot of fun meeting him). I was concerned that the pups would learn that sort of restless behaviour from their parents (is this a valid concern??)
Price: INR 45k

2 :: ::Â* Golden Retriever Club IndiaÂ* :: ::: Carolina Mom from this forum suggested that I look here for info, I got the contact details for Ms. Radhika Chandrashekhar from the website.

I could see the pedigree of the dam and sire on k9data (rarer than you'd think here)
Dam: Pedigree: Springfield Serenade
Sire: Pedigree: Otterdawn Pridoeboy
She's sent me pictures of the two, and of a dog that she sent to Ahmedabad from their previous mating 2 years ago, and lots of pictures from a previous litter.

Price: INR 45k



I'll add my experience from the visit later this month.
This has been a longer post than what I envisioned, and I am sort of losing my train of thought here. I hope people here find it useful. People from India, I request you to add any information you may have uncovered in your search here as well.

It looks like our search is soon coming to a close and we are very excited about getting our first dog. This forum has been immensely helpful, and I'm sure I'll keep coming back here with my 'noob' questions and issues. Right now, we're burying ourselves in research and enjoying the ride!

hii i am a first timer and looking for golden retriever male puppy. Can you tell me from where can i buy a Original Puppy and wat is the price. I am clueless about everything.Thanks

 

Contact the Golden Retriever Club of India, they have a site with Breeder referrals with contact info provided.

The GR Club of India also has a facebook page, do a google search for both, the pages come up.

Can i have her number? I’m searching for a golden pup

 

I have been receiving Private Messages from members looking for Breeders in India.

I am located in the US and do not have any information about Breeders in India nor do I have any contact information for them.

Do a Search for the GR Club of India, their website and Facebook Group come up.
Breeder information is provided on the GR Club of India's website and also contact information is provided. If you need more information, call them.

 

Hi guys,

this forum is very helpful. Although I am in a bit of a catch. I wanted to get a golden retriever and was suggested Yashbans by someone, after doing a little research and reading about the owner I thought they were good. But after reading your reviews I am worried now. My main concern about going to Yashbans was that golden retrievers are prone to cancer and hip displacement and yashodra from Yashbans told me that in her lineage of dogs she has not seen and cancer issues or hip displacement issues pop up. And she was also willing to give me supplements for the dog for the same as a preventive measure. I have already payed an advance and I’m worried .. should I not be going with her?

 

Of what I researched, Yashban seemed over the top expensive with what they charge for pups. I did not reach out to them. If you have apprehensions you can look at other breeders. In the end luck would play a part too, the only thing you can do is take a decision based on best of information you have. Good luck.

 

Avoid Mr n Mrs Pet at all costs. They claim to be India's first "online dog retailer" selling "ethically bred dogs from responsible breeders" but are anything but that. They are actually only your typical dealer buying from puppy mills and selling at exorbitant prices. They have a fancy website which is full of pictures of random dogs taken from the internet but actually just take dogs from a couple of farms in Indore and Jaipur where mating unferage dogs, fathers and daughters etc is common.

 

This review is a heartfelt warning for parents like us on our distressing experience at Yashbans.
On 16 April 2023, we eagerly welcomed a 4-month 10-day-old golden retriever into our family, trusting Yashbans reputation/ethics, paying Rs 1.5 lakh. They assured us of the pup's perfect temperament for a family and claimed her bone structure was excellent for her age. They asked us to avoid hospitals for risk of infections and gave us their recommended vet’s number for home visits/asked to visit them for vaccinations. Regrettably, Yashbans deceived us by providing a puppy afflicted with hip dysplasia.
We adhered to their recommended diet and supplement regimen as best we could. Consulted them when in doubt every time and took their recommendations. Observing disparities in her walking style compared to other dogs, we sought the advice of their recommended vet, who dismissed our concerns, saying everything was fine.
In early June, a friend alerted us to the inward bending of the pup's legs. Upon sharing a video with them, they evaded the issue initially and only admitted to the curved legs when pressed further. Shockingly, they also shifted blame onto us, citing excessive exercise, inadequate care and improper feeding as the cause.
During a meeting on June 21, 2023, they increased the pup's diet to 1kg of meat per day and increased the supplements. However, aside from weight gain, there was no improvement even after 15 days. Growing skeptical of their integrity, we decided to take the pup to a hospital for complete examination. The X-ray revealed moderate bilateral hip dysplasia, requiring surgery to prevent pain, arthritis, and other complications. The doctor said that the pup's hip condition was congenital, her swaying walk was to avoid pain and expressed dismay at the excessive number (12 tablets/day + 1 tsp Supplement oil + Vitamin d3 shot twice a week) of supplements suggested by them as its harmful to pup’s health.
Our trust in them was shattered, especially considering their supposed 45 years of experience. It appears they knowingly sold us an unhealthy pup, unable to breed or profit from it. Their erroneous advice on medications and diet resulted in the pup gaining excess weight, further worsening her leg condition.
When we shared the X-ray and diagnosis of hip dysplasia, and advice of dr on spaying to Yashbans, they responded rudely, accusing us of lying and blamed us for the pups condition. We offered them an opportunity to rectify their mistake, requesting a healthy replacement pup and the return of the one with hip dysplasia. To our dismay, she callously disregarded our plea, stating that since we had selected the pup, they bore no responsibility which is a lie as they picked the pup for us. They suggested us to find another home for her.
In a further display of insensitivity, they mocked us by saying "You can't rear her and feed her well, I’m shocked you want to breed her. Spay her and keep her as companion for your very ‘lonely’ kid."
It is evident that their true character is far from the compassionate, humble facade they present. Please exercise caution and avoid falling into their trap. A genuine breeder should provide terms and conditions in advance which here they gave only after full payment when bringing the pup home.
We desire our young children to cherish joyous memories of their first pup, not witness them in pain, limping, and enduring multiple surgeries mere months after joining the family. To them, our vulnerable child is nothing more than a means to generate profit. Their true nature is revealed when you go with a problem to them. They are but a money-hungry business who manipulate innocent children.
If you are interested in adopting a 7-month-old puppy for free, please email me at adoptYashbanpup@gmail.com. I am more than willing to provide hospital reports, KCI registration, and other information to ensure that no one else falls victim to the same deceitful practices we experienced. I'll consider the amount we paid as charity, or rather, alms given to them in good faith.

 

Many thanks for your post. I am also planning on getting a golden retriever puppy. Appreciate if you could share Ms Radhika's contact details please. My email address is iyerrprakash@gmail.com
