Since the place to start when looking for a puppy or a stud dog is with the Breeders, we provide a vetted list of reputable breeders of British-style Goldens in North America (United States and Canada).

Our listed breeders are Golden Retriever fanciers that:
  • Are known and respected by their peers.
  • Select breeding stock for proper temperament, genetic health and correct type and structure.
  • Follow accepted breeding and selling practices.
  • Follow the BGNA WEBSITE LISTING GUIDELINES (Forms page)
  • Follow the Code of Ethics of one of the following:
          - The Golden Retriever Club of America (GRCA)
          - The Golden Retriever Club of Canada (GRCC)

Our Board and Advisors are second to none. We are so fortunate and humbled to have them and we will all benefit from over 200 years of their combined experience!

The head studies* portray the exceptional warmth of expression, including proper eye size and shape, and the strength of muzzle, that epitomizes the classic head type.

Please Note:  Regardless of the terminology used today (English / British / European) and the transformations that have occurred in the breed over generations, and throughout geographical locations since its origins in the Scottish Highlands, we are promoting only pure-bred golden retrievers that are of a particular type or style. They are not rare and they are not white. Thank you.
