Before you buy

Dear Prospective Golden Owners!

Several people have informed me that there are several ads on Facebook, and even a group, promising “quality” puppies of 8 weeks old.

Before you buy a puppy, ask for details and check them when you pay for and receive the puppy! What and how can you check?

Some advice:
– if a breeder promises you a pedigree, contact one of the local breed societies! In Hungary, this could be the Golden Retriever Circle or the Hungarian Retriever and Water Dog Association ONLY!!!!!

– if they promise pedigrees from a 3rd country (e.g. Serbia), there are already more problems.
1. the puppies with a pedigree from a third country must be bred in the country where they are adults (e.g. Serbia)
2. third country pedigree puppies can cross the Hungarian border 3 months after the rabies vaccination + 3 weeks + titer test result, i.e. at 7 months of age!!!! Failure to comply with these rules will result in an IMPLEMENTATION!!!!

If you have any questions or suspicions before buying a puppy, please contact us at titkarsag.grk@gmail.com!

Many people have reported to us that they have been scammed and even reported the death of a puppy, reported a tk where the mother was a 15 year old dead dog, reported a puppy that was given to a Golden Retriever but by the time it was an adult it was obvious that it was not a Golden Retriever, reported a case where a puppy was brought in at 8 weeks old but the promised pedigree never arrived.

A decent breeder has no secrets, the puppies have the mother dog with them, she keeps them in a decent place, the puppies are well socialised and friendly.

Watch out! I guess everyone wants their four-legged companion to live up to 15 years, to be friendly, kind and devoted! It does matter where you buy your future companion!
