When thinking about breeding your dog, our
club highly recommends that you first read "Finding A
Golden Retriever" published by the Golden Retriever Club of
America (GRCA) paying special attention to the section on
"Breeding Your Golden Retriever" and the "Code Of Ethics"
contained in the appendix. This booklet is available online
at
http://www.grca.org/allabout/a_find.html
You should also familiarize yourself with the breed standard
for Golden Retrievers available at
http://www.grca.org/history_breed/breed_standard.html
|
To summarize, before breeding your dog should:
(1) be at least two years of age
(2) have a friendly, outgoing temperament
(3) have no disqualifying breed faults as stated in the
breed standard
(4) have OFA hip and elbow clearances
(5) have a veterinary ophthalmologist eye clearance
(6) have a veterinary cardiologist heart clearance
