Papillon Kisses Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Perhaps contact some breeders you like the look of and express an interest in a future puppy? I imagine many have waiting lists. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White_Shadow Posted August 30, 2020 Author Share Posted August 30, 2020 Most likely a huge waiting list. I've found one and I've like their page... Just a waiting game...I reckon my girl would love a playmate, plus we're always home :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a waiting game...I reckon my girl would love a playmate, plus we're always home :-) Expand Contact Amanda and Stephen via email, the first thing you need to do is show what you can offer one of their Goldies in the way of training, health/exercise, diet (we are talking raw diet here), your house-yard set-up, members in your family and ages. Email photos of your yard. You need to show that you are the right person to match up with one of their dogs as they do check (as will most other breeders) Your first approach may not bring any joy but keep persevering...as you say it's a waiting game. There are their contact details http://www.geocities.ws/redinbrinkennels/ maybe ask to visit for a chat after this virus has become less threatening. Most caring breeders want the best for their dogs so be prepared to run through the gauntlet! Edited August 30, 2020 by Boronia 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dogsfevr Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 rarely can you "just buy a pup ". Find the breeders that interest you ,contact them,ask questions & if they feel like a good fit put your name down & wait . This year has seen every Tom,Dick & Harry want a dog ,its been an unprecedented time with inquiries & breeders need to go through those inquiries to find out who are time wasters & who a seriously looking for a pup . When i say time wasters i mean they havent decided they want the breed or done any research into the breed . In our breed since March we have had near 300 inquiries & we are struggling to reply to the various emails especially with questions asked that they could have easily already found at that info with research ,For our breed that question is does it need brushing or grooming .It is a frustrating thing to have to reply to when the breed is a coated breed. So find your breeder ,make serious contact & wait . Contact the Golden Retriever club if you have any info you need clarified .there are plenty of good breeders in Qld but going through websites waitig for puppies to appear will get you no where ,you need to make personal contact 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hubby and I have discussed it and decided the next breed would be a golden retriever. I just like to see who sells them etc. I was surprise to see none on the breed page. I think there's a way to find the breeders page to look at their sites, I'll check again(thumbs up!) :-) Edited August 31, 2020 by White_Shadow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The breed page isn’t where breeders hang out or post . The breeders listed on Dol and the Goldie club are a great start Are you after cream,Darker colour .? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
