Joyso Golden Retrievers

puppies

I have designed this page not as a means for me to sell my puppies but rather as a source of information to assist those people, especially in south-western Ontario, who are looking to bring a Golden Retriever into their lives.
Once you start your search for your golden companion, you will find there are many people who are selling Golden Retriever puppies, sadly the reality is that many of them do not strive to breed quality Golden Retrevers.

Hopefully, after reading the information I have compiled for you, in chart form below, you will see the benefits of purchasing your golden family companion from someone who genuinely loves & respects this beautiful breed. Someone who's goal is to try to only contribute the best they can to both the Golden Retriever breed in general and more specifically to the individual Golden Retriever puppies they produce. As opposed to getting your puppy from someone who obviously does not share these values or from someone who at the very best only pretends to do so.

Hopefully you will become an educated & informed consumer, as you would for any major purchase you plan to undertake, which will allow you to be able to recognize one from the other.
So many of the people who call me say to me "we don't want a show dog...we just want a healthy pet".
Don't you DESERVE to increase your chances of purchasing a healthy, happy Golden Retriever puppy!
Don't you DESERVE THE BEST!

SO MANY BREEDERS TO CHOOSE FROM
The popularity of the Golden Retriever breed as a desireable family companion has resulted in an increase in the number of people breeding them.

A Golden Retriever is a living, feeling being and as such will become an important part of your life, hopefully, for many years to come.
As a companion that will have such a large impact on your life, please do your research when choosing who to purchase your companion from.
In most cases the adage "you get what you pay for" is just as true when it comes to purchasing a Golden Retriever as it would be for anything else.

While yes it may, occaisionally, be true that some people will be asking a large amount of money for a Golden Retriever that is of poor quality, it is very safe to say that you will never be able to purchase a Golden Retriever of good quality for a small amount money.
You can pay a little and increase your chances of having to deal with many costly problems throughout the dog's life with little if any support, or you can pay more for the puppy and greatly increase your chances of not having to deal with those problems or if you do, you will not have to deal with them alone!

I hope you find this information helpful.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have, I am always available to help people who are looking for a well bred Golden Retriever, whether you are getting one from me or not :-)

Please allow me a few days to get back to you when you leave a message.

You can also contact the GRCC (by going to my links page) where you will receive valuable information not only on purchasing a Golden Retriever but also be provided with a list of breeders who are members and as such abide by the GRCC breeder's code of ethics.
