.....yourself before making an inquiry of a breeder as to the availability of Golden Retrievers. (these questions will work for any breed you may be considering)
1) Does everyone in your home really want a Golden Retriever?
2) Can we/I afford to keep a dog? Consider training fees, food bills, veterinary care and if you travel boarding/pet sitter fees? And then there are always unexpected expenses.
3) Do we/I have the patience and time to spend training and exercise of a Golden Retriever?
4) Will a Golden Retriever fit our lifestyle and home?
5) Have I/we researched the pros/cons of owning a Golden Retriever?
** Please keep in mind; puppies are only cute and small for a few weeks. Do not expect them to be "mature" for a few years. Do expect to spend a good amount of time dealing with growing-up issues. They are born very smart and are quick learners. Without proper training and guidance, they will make poor decisions... You have to train them. You want your puppy to be a well mannered dog, whom everyone is happy to meet. This all begins when you start training from day one.
Those ground rules are the red carpet to success.
