[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]About $1800 to $2200 for a golden.
Incidentally, we have spent two years trying to get a golden or similar retriever under the age of 5 and no major medical or behavioral issues from a rescue organization with no luck.  We spent the last six years dealing with major medical issues and death of our last dog so would really like a few active healthy years before we dive into that again.  We are going the breeder route because we don’t want to wait any longer.  But I do know lots of people that have gotten lucky with rescues...just not us.

I also feel like [b]it’s a little ironic that people lament about going to a breeder for a puppy when there are plenty of KIDS that need homes—-yet no one guilt trips you when you choose to conceive your own child.[/b]    Maybe we should have stronger laws in this country about spay/neuter/caring for pets, and then we wouldn’t have such a problem with unwanted pets in shelters.  It’s also yet another way in which the northern states are subsidizing the South—a lot of these shelter dogs are imported from the South, where people apparently can’t be bothered to spay/neuter or keep their dogs inside.[/quote]
