Puppy Referral &
 DISCLAIMERSandlapper Golden Retriever Club provides puppy referral information as a service. We do not warrant the health or fitness of any puppy, nor does the club act in any way as the agent of any breeder. The purchase of a Golden Retriever puppy (or any other pet, for that matter) is a transaction between you and the seller. Before you decide to purchase a puppy, we recommend that you read "Acquiring a Golden Retriever" published by the Golden Retriever Club of America. We also recommend you visit the following Golden Retriever web sites: Important information on finding a healthy Golden puppy - http://www.grca.org/allabout/index.html More information on Golden Retrievers - http://www.grca.org/allabout/a_find.html Goldendoodles & Rare White Goldens - 1. Sandlapper Golden Retriever Club has serious hobby breeders among its membership. None of these breeders makes his or her principal income from breeding Golden Retrievers. 2. Female dogs go into season no more than twice a year. They are, as a rule, not bred on every season. Gestation is nine weeks, and the puppies will live with their mothers for six to nine weeks after birth (depending on the breeder.) Be prepared to wait for the puppy you want. 3. If you're considering buying a Golden Retriever puppy as a gift, please be sure that the person who will receive the puppy wants a Golden puppy and is in a position to care for it. 4. Holiday puppies are a challenge. Most breeders do not like to send puppies to their new homes at Christmas. The stress that occurs in many households around the holidays is not good for newly arrived puppies. GOLDEN RETRIEVER CLUB OF AMERICA |
