  1. Hi, I breed goldens. I am in NSW. Our puppy referral officer gets approx 30-40 enquiries every month. Puppies usually are spoken for before they are born. There are not a lot of breeders in Qld, and you will have to wait for a puppy from a reputable breeder. I get enquires every day and the only place I advertise is on the NSW GR Club website. I have now decided not to send puppies interstate, firstly because there are plenty of good homes in NSW waiting for a puppy, and secondly, because I really would like to meet the owners of my new puppies. Be careful with facebook groups, there is a huge one with backyard breeders selling puppies, the admins have kicked a lot of us breeders off the group! There is one I would recommend you join someone may be able to help you find a puppy, however the group doesn't really allow for advertisements, and, to be honest, most of us don't need to. There are a number of breeders that I can tell you to stay away from and they normally have puppies available, but I can't name them in a public forum. Golden Retriever facebook group
  2. Did you end up getting them done yet, and who did you use?
  3. I'm about to do one of mine next week.... Dr Karen Hedberg is the vet who does all my x-rays, she is sending them to Makara, so it will be interesting to see the results. I didn't breed this boy, lines are different to what I have had previously, scores are pretty good all the way through his pedigree though so I'm hoping his will be too. I haven't had any done since Dr Rawlinson retired.
  4. Please do not desex your golden before 6 months. They need their hormones to grow properly. The hormones tell them when to stop growing up and start filling out. You can usually tell when a golden has been desexed early (probably any dog for that matter) they will have long legs and look out of proportion. I tell all my puppy buyers, males between 12-18 months, females, atleast 9 months and preferably after their first season. I know some people don't like to deal with seasons, but it is better for them to have one. There is research into early desexing indicating that it can increase the risk of Hip Dysplaysia, in a breed where we are trying to better the hip score average and breed out this issue, I'd do everything in my power not to increase the chance of this happening.....
  5. You sound like you would provide a great home for a puppy. As others have said, breeders are busy... but, as a breeder, I always respond if people have put in a lot of effort such as giving me a detailed email about their lifestyle etc or filled in a puppy application form. Its the ones that send a one line email of how much or do you have puppies available that I mostly ignore.
  6. Babies are two weeks old today and so damn cute. Eyes are open. Still have one little bubba under 900g, the rest are over 1kg. How's your girl going now LOTG??
  7. Yep, 10 better to look after than 12 that's for sure!!
  8. 10 Bubbas arrived overnight, last girl via c-section. All up 8 boys and 2 girls! Mum and bubs doing well, big babies, humans buggered, as is mum I think.
  9. So sorry to hear about the little angel LOTG :-( Congrats though on the other two bubbas.
  10. PT - I don't think you will be far off, if at all!! I think I can see 11. Def 10!!
  11. How's she going? Took Faith for an xray this am - what you think.... vet an I agree on double digits.
  12. Wheee :D :D Exciting!! My bitch dropped to 37.4 today and I freaked... LOL! Still not ready to go.. but I've got 2 more days left in the office to get through before I'm ready for her to pop! Oh and an hour 15 minute drive on Saturday to drop off a poodle on Saturday.. I've told her she can't go until next Wednesday night. Hopefully she obliges. Getting close :-) I'm taking her in for an xray on Saturday. Poor girl,she's so big! She needs to hold on until Wed night too as I have a couple of appointments on Wed morning and then I'm all hers :-)
  13. Good luck. Isn't it amazing, I felt Faith's move a couple of days ago and I just melted :-) I too had forgotten how lovely it is.
