[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At the risk of making sweeping generalizations, the fact that this Golden Retriever breeder is calling to tell you they have multiple available puppies is a red enough flag on its own that this is not a top notch breeding operation.  Most have waitlists before the breeding even happens.  That said, 4 adult dogs doesn't sound like a puppy mill so much as a backyard breeder, and if you're not looking to show or improve the breed yourself, there's nothing wrong with buying the kind of puppy you want from a situation where no adult dogs are being treated poorly to turn a profit.[/quote]

There 4 adult girls and 4 boys. So 8 total I think.  [/quote]

I wouldn't buy from this place, because that is a high enough number that I'm assuming they keep them mostly kenneled or caged to prevent unplanned pairings.  Have you visited?  If the adult dogs can't live indoors like pets, I don't want to support the operation.    [/quote]

+1.  I don't think I've ever seen a legit breeder with this number of dogs onsite.  This one is the biggest I've seen, and they have 2 males and 5 females, but some of them are retired now.

Sorry, OP, but this all sounds a little sketchy.  I mean, odds are it will probably be fine....but it's not a great situation, and you're making a 10+ year commitment here.[/quote]
