- You can't because in most states it's illegal to release a pup to it's new home before it's at least 8 weeks old.
- Don't get a puppy before 6-8 weeks. Call AKC and ask for a breeder referral list. Call your local vets and ask them if they know of a good breeder that they would recommend.
- You can't buy newborn puppies anywhere. They can't be parted from their mother until atleast 8 weeks, and a really good breeder wouldn't let them go until atleast 10-12. But to answer your question, the best place to get a golden retriever is from a shelter or rescue.
- Nowhere reputable will sell you a puppy that is under the age of eight weeks. That is the age, agreed by experts, that a pup should be fully weaned, has learned all the valuable doggy behaviours from mum and is ready to leave its litter. A puppy mill or back yard breeder might, but do you really want to support that form of cruelty and ignorance?
- Be prepared to get a puppy at the right age, then ask around for a responsible breeder. Because of health problems later in life (like hip problems), it's better to pay more to a breeder with a good reputation than less to someone relatively inexperienced..
- 4 to 6 weeks old isnt good try 8 weeks http://www.petfinder.com
- You should look online and find a reputable breeder near you. Or ask friends and neighbors who have goldens where they got theirs. But there are also plenty of great puppies in shelters waiting to get adopted so look there too. www.petfinder.com
- It appears your knowledge of dogs and puppies is not great. You should read up on this subject before you do anything. You should have known that puppies are not released to their new owners until 8 plus weeks after birth. Contact your S.P.C.A. or local vets for information on breeders or go on the internet. Good Luck.
- Yes definitely 8-10 weeks of age from a good breeder. AKc.org has a list. You want to go see the breeder and see her stock and pick. And ask many questions about skin, coat, hips and eye problems in the lineage. Be sure to get a good pup that will give you years of problem free health and love. Labradoodles are also very cool and hyperallergetic.
- Well, first of all, it is illegal to buy or sell any dog before it is 8 weeks of age. They will die without their mother's milk or be unhealthy. The best places to buy Golden Retrievers are from good reputable breeders or shelters. Google GOLDEN RETRIEVER BREEDERS IN (YOUR STATE OR COUNTRY) Many, many breeders will come up and there should be some in your area! If you find a breeder that you like, put the site up on yahoo and ask if it is a good breeder or not. If it isn't, find another. Also, adopting is a very good idea, here is why! Shelter dogs are CHEAP, but at the same time are just as good as any other dog from a breeder! ($50-$200) They are in need of a loving home! Are you willing to give a dog a second chance that may not even be alive the next day because no one adopted them? Here is a great site that lists shelter dogs in your area! (first type in your zip code) http://petfinder.com GOOD LUCK!!!
- you cant take a puppy away from its mom before it is 8 weeks old its not developed yet and maybe illegal.
