FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Consider WHERE you want to get your Golden Retriever Puppy from ....

Do you want to get it from a breeder that just breeds any dogs together (with no health checks) and no idea which dogs are suitable - that raises puppies in pens / outdoor areas and sells puppies for cheap? Do not participate in breed shows or any breed improvement programmes (like importing to diversify the lines).

Do you want to get your puppy from a breeder that says the dogs are KUSA registered but cant be bothered to register the litter because they will either only breed "once" for the experience, or the litter was an "accidental mating" or they claim they don't want to make money from puppies and only want to give puppies to a loving home (non-show people) so dont believe there is any importance in having any sort of lineage of the dog. Most likely the dogs bred were not sold for breeding purposes by the original breeder and they would not have ANY health checks done - so you have no idea what you are actually getting. Do not participate in breed shows or any breed improvement programmes (like importing to diversify the lines).

Do you want to get your puppy from a breeder with NO experience - but claims to breed "for the love of it" - does the health checks (or rather, bought breeding dogs with health checks already done) and then claims to know everything there is to know about Goldens where they themselves have bred "accidental matings" from dogs they bought as "breeding pairs", and have bred 3 litters from a female barely 18 months old (with her first litter being born when she turned 1 yr old) - but have no idea what the breed standard resembles ...still sells pups for quite a premium price (R15 000). Do not participate in breed shows or any breed improvement programmes (like importing to diversify the lines).

Do you want to get your puppy from a breeder who claims to "care" for the breed, yet have dogs and breed with dogs of pedigrees from both KUSA and Canine SA (note that no pedigrees from CanineSA can be verified as accurate) - does some or no health checks. Do not participate in breed shows or any breed improvement programmes (like importing to diversify the lines).

Or DO you want to get your puppy from a Breeder with YEARS of experience. Who has been through it all. Who does ALL the required health checks and more. Who actively imports to diversify the lines. Who never breeds from females younger than 2 yrs old and breeds only between 1 - 5 litters max from a female throughout her lifetime (mostly 3 - 4 litters max, depending on various informed factors. Never breeds females older than 8 years old. Actively participates in breed shows to campaign their own dogs to champions (and more ...grand and international champions) and actively encourage and support puppy owners to also campaign their dogs AND these dogs achieve championship status. Actively promotes responsible breeding (and a member of a specialist breed club) and put a lot of time and effort into breed education for new and prospective puppy owners. A breeder who has a proven track record of breeding healthy, well-adjusted dogs, proven to be worthy of show awards / champion status (which means breeder is breeding according to the breed standard). A breeder that is always involved with owners that has obtained puppies from them - even when those "puppies" are 14+ years old. A breeder who can with a 90% accuracy tell you exactly where all the puppies they have brought into this world currently is - and whether they are still alive, well and happy? A breeder who is there 24/7 - always available even for the simplest of questions at any hour of the day or night. A breeder that rarely rehomes their dogs when they are done breeding with them (sometimes breeders do rehome dogs for specific reasons like "fit" into the current pack (because 100% of these breeders have all their dogs live inside the house with them (and not in kennels outside, handled by staff most of the time and barely knows what it feels like to be part of a family). A breeder who spends 24/7 with the puppies from the day they are born till the day they leave with their new families (8 - 10 weeks later) and never earlier than 8 weeks - and not let staff look after the dogs in a kennel somewhere on the property. A breeder that can recite a pedigree in 2 seconds flat if they just have the registered name of the dog. A breeder who has Indepth knowledge of predisposed health conditions within the breed and does extensive research on new health conditions (and whether they can be tested for and IF available, immediately test for that). A breeder that knows the breed standard by heart and makes every decision based on breed preservation and standards. A breeder that cares more about WHAT they produce than how much they produce (puppy quantities and litter income). A breeder that is hell bent on QUALITY and not quantity. A breeder that gives their dogs the best life, the best food (not checkers brand or pap) and ensures that the puppies receive the best nutrition possible as well as stimulation and exposure to a range of sounds, smells, noises, surfaces, experiences and people. A breeder with a legacy tied up into a kennel affix for generations to come - and fiercely protects their legacy with the efforts and the results they produce.

Before you choose your Breeder - think about the above and then you will easily understand the difference in puppy price from a R6000, R15 000 and R20 000 puppy.

And remember ....what you support, you condone, and you encourage.

What do you want to encourage, condone and support?

HAPPY 10TH BIRTHDAY TO FLYNN
aka Bin, Binnie, Flynnie Bin, Bin-Bin, Cuddle Woof, Zen-Dog

It has been a privilege to share 10 amazing, wonderful years with you - the most amazing dog I have ever owned. I cannot thank his breeder, Mrs Heather Morrison enough for allowing me to have this amazing, wonderful dog that is the epitome of what a Golden Retriever should be. Flynn just loves anything, everything and everyone. He readily accepts people, have no issues with any dogs (males, females, big or small). He is the most "user friendly" dog on the planet. If I could have 50 Flynn's, I would. If I could clone you, I would.
There are just not enough words to describe your awesomeness ....not enough words to describe how must love I have for you.
Hoping we get to share a lot more years of your awesomeness in this world and that you continue to bless us with your goofiness, your calmness, your unconditional love, your healing impact and just Flynnie, being Flynnie.
