Golden retriever breeder recommendations
« on: March 26, 2025, 06:25:37 PM »
My parents are looking to get a golden female puppy.

House dog hunting dog combo.

Any recommendations for reputable breeders?

My dog is from Skyriver Goldens in Ellensburg. I've been around a lot of dogs. Couldn't ask for anything more in a bird dog and family dog.

I have a friend who used to breed them. I think she is still breeding them in kitsap area.

I can get contact info if you want.  Last time I checked her puppies were going for about 2k each.

Thank you all, we will look into these.

What is the going rate for a good puppy from a quality breeder these days? I see birdshooter gave the 2k number last he knew, which is around what I was guessing, but would love to hear from others what they are seeing. With prices changing so fast these days it's hard to keep up.

Thanks all, they are in contact with Skyriver, and it is sounds promising.

I don't think Chris is breeding much anymore.

Same here.  Choral has great all around Goldens. I wouldn't go anywhere else unless I was looking for a FT Golden, in which case you'd better get on a waitlist now and start saving up.

Patti and Choral are tight and their breedings overlap heavy.
