Hi goldenluv, thanks for the welcome :) Looking for a pet, possibly with show or obedience lineage. We have kids so would be looking for a line of tolerant placid dogs

Hi guys Not sure if I'm posting in the right place, apologies if not, but we're looking at finding a golden retriever pup. We're in Samford qld, just wanted to know if someone has any recommendations for good breeders? We don't mind travelling, and considering interstate if needed Thanks for any opinions!

Thanks so much guys. The breeder gave me some more info about her background and her family's veterinarian careers so I'm starting to feel better. Just scary, having to rely ultimately on gut feeling to determine how genuine the breeder is. So sad knowing they aren't all the real deal

Thanks so much for your help guys. Definitely need to ask the breeder some more questions

Hi everyone First post here. It's a pretty naive question but my husband and I are looking for a second lab to add to our 2.5 year old female lab. The girl we have was the last pup in the litter available, so we're not sure how the others were selected. Thankfully she fit in like a glove with our kids and our home We've put our name down at a different breeder and they've told us while we can have our say as to which pup we'd like, ultimately it's the breeder who chooses. I'm just wondering if that's the usual thing? Years ago we had a miniature poodle who was chosen for us and at 5 years old suffered a stroke. He was an anxious dog from the minute we brought him home and required weekly therapy and anti anxiety medication for the full 5 years. So I know labradors are very different to poodles, but I'm a paranoid mess putting all my trust into this breeder after the experience we had with the poodle breeder. Any advice greatly welcomed
