[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]80 is too big for a female Golden. 55-65 is more typical. I would worry about health issues. What health tests did they do on the parents? Have you seen the results? Goldens can have a slew of genetic health issues. Do not get a Golden without health certifications.

The 80 lbs is a huge red flag for me. I have rescued Goldens and we often saw this huge poorly bred Goldens that were gigantic. Some as big as 100 lbs. I would not get a Golden that large unless it was a rescue adult (I'm ok with big dogs, but breeding well out of the standard says they don't care about the breed standard at all--just what sells). If they don't show their dogs, that's another red flag (although I have seen some good breeders who are not big show dog people, but rather participate in other AKC/CKC activities like agility, etc.).

A well bred Golden will usually require a wait list.

Ugh thanks.  They have their clearances. But I think she said the mom is 80lbs. So if she has clearances and so does the dad, are the puppies fine?[/quote]
