Find a good breeder referral by going to www.akc.org or talking to people at dog shows. This is a breed that can have hip and eye problems - you should get the best one you can!

You can also find info about the breed clubs on the akc site - they probably have a rescue group where you can get an older dog for less money.

The best breeders will be members of their breed club, promoting healthy dogs with great temperaments. They should ask you a bunch of questions to make sure their puppy will be getting a good home. If all a "breeder" seems to care about is whether your check will clear, you can be sure he won't care a week later when the pup is dying from distemper or parvo and you want your money back.
Whatever you do, DON'T go to a pet shop, a flea market or buy one sight-unseen off the Internet!!!! You'll pay top dollar for what is usually a poor quality puppy mill dog that is often sick and may have falsified registration papers. And you'll be supporting one of the cruelest industries in the country.

Call South Florida Legal Services at 332-7000. Ask for Teri. She is a dog breeder. If she can't help you, I'm sure she could direct you to somebody in the area who could.
Good luck!

www.puppyfind.com is a really good site to find puppies. My mom and dad are breeders and they advertise on there, but we don't raise golden retrievers anymore...but I know you will be able to find plenty of them on that site...good luck :)
