USA Ethical Breeder List
I have compiled a state-by-state list of ethical Golden Retriever breeders in the USA. This list consists of breeders who routinely follow the GRCA Code of Ethics and who have a history of participation in activities such as AKC events, preferably with titles. At this time, breeders lacking clear breed involvement have been excluded from this list, even if the required clearances are typically present.
While I have made every effort to ensure that breeders on this list meet the aforementioned criteria, it is imperative that you check clearances for the specific litter(s) of interest. It is the puppy buyer’s responsibility to verify all clearances and determine if the breeder and pairing is suitable for their needs. Health of a puppy cannot be guaranteed, even with a pedigree of full clearances. The presence of a breeder on this list does not guarantee that said breeder is a “good breeder” and does not imply endorsement by Golden Retriever Forum, its members, moderators, owners, or myself. Since this is not an exhaustive list, I have also included the information of the local GRCs so you may contact them for puppy referrals.
If you know of a breeder who you believe should be added to this list, or if there is a breeder on this list who you believe does not meet the criteria, please send a PM to Oceanside.
