A family member has decided to get a golden retriever. Despite my best attempts, they are convinced that a dog coming from a shelter is "damaged," and they want a purebred pup. I am going to try to help them buy from a breeder responsibly.
Does anyone know of responsible golden breeders in the midwest? They only need a pet quality dog, perhaps one to do obedience or agility with, but mostly just a good family pet.
