ACQUIRING A GOLDEN

 

Owning a Golden

Please click on the links for Realistic Assessment and Choosing a Breeder and read the information they contain, before proceeding to the Acquiring a Golden link.

Read the Club's Code of Ethics and ask yourself whether the breeder you are talking to is abiding by the Club's rules.
