Breeders Directory

Buying a Golden Retriever is a lifelong commitment and not an impulse decision. Have patience the average wait time for a golden retriever puppy is about 12 - 18 months.

The GRCWA is unable to comment on breeders, either positively or negatively and we encourage you do your homework and gain as much knowledge of the breed as you can before making a decision. Read through our Puppies Page so you know what responsible Australian National kennel Council (ANKC) breeders do. The worst place to get a puppy is a pet shop and irresponsible non-ANKC registered backyard breeders. Buying from a pet shop or a non-ANKC breeder perpetuates the inhumane practices of puppy mills as well as pet overpopulation and is detrimental to the health and welfare of the Golden Retriever.

Below is a list of ANKC breeders who are members of the GRCWA. The fact that these breeders are listed here is by no means a recommendation by the GRCWA for any of the breeders or their line of dogs. Any person considering purchasing dogs or puppies from these breeders should make their own enquiries and form their own opinions. These breeders have passed an education course, have signed and acknowledged the clubs Code of Ethics, they uphold these Code of Ethics and follow all health and other recommended breeding practices. A good breeder has more than ANKC registration. A conscientious breeder will be able to provide evidence of health testing if the parents of the puppies along with the ANKC pedigree papers. The best source of a healthy, well-socialised puppy is a conscientious ANKC breeder with a long-term commitment to the breed and a reputation to uphold.
