A nice article.

A symmetrical, powerful, active dog, sound and well put together, not clumsy nor long in the leg, displaying a kindly expression and possessing a personality that is eager, alert and self-confident. Primarily a hunting dog, he should be shown in hard-working condition. Overall appearance, balance, gait and purpose to be given more emphasis than any of his component parts. Faults-Any departure from the described ideal shall be considered faulty to the degree to which it interferes with the breed’s purpose or is contrary to breed character.🐾

I fixed the one with incorrect coat colors getting passed around on all the golden retriever pet sites. Feel free to share the correct one.

WHAT A BREEDER NEVER SAYS OUT LOUD....!!!!

🤔 People often think that a breeder lives among perfect dogs. But they forget everything that goes into bringing these little miracles into the world. Photos are sweet, but the reality is intense and demanding.

✨ Every birth is a lottery.
You can prepare, plan, and study everything… but not a single delivery goes exactly as hoped.
Every time it feels like the first time, even after years of experience.

😢 Death is our greatest enemy.
A bitch who develops complications, a puppy that doesn't make it…

It happens unexpectedly and breaks your heart every time.

✨ Using a good stud dog costs money and effort.
Travel expenses, matings, tests, nighttime care…

And then hoping that everything goes well: diarrhea, infections, stunted growth.
Breeding is an investment: financial, emotional, and physical.

✨Bottle feeding? Cute, yes… for the first five minutes.

But after that, feeding every 2–3 hours, day and night, for 3 weeks.

That is pure survival mode, with a whole lot of energy as salvation.

🤦‍♀️ People often view puppies as “business”:

“Number of puppies × price = profit!”

But they forget the:

• Health & Genetic testing
• Matings
• Shows
• Training
• Nutrition
• Veterinarian
• Care and hygiene
• Photoshoots, advertising, website
• Equipment for grooming, dog/puppy care, etc.
• Pounds of food and mountains of poop!!🙈

What is left? Rarely a gold bar. Let alone a decent hourly wage 😁

😴 Sleepless nights are inevitable.
No weekends, no vacation, no break.

🤫 Who really raises the puppies?

The bitch… AND the breeder.
Every small infection can threaten an entire litter.

😬 And the question “Why is it so expensive?”

If we got a dollar for every time…

The dogs would be eating caviar instead of kibble or meat.

😵‍💫 Future owners always make us worried.
A puppy isn't a package you just send off.
We choose buyers carefully; sometimes we refuse, sometimes we wait longer.

🫥 Emotional fatigue?
You almost never see that.
The pressure, the responsibility, watching over every detail…

And the loneliness during an emergency.

🤐 Sometimes we want to quit.
After loss. After setbacks. After exhaustion.

And then a pup opens its little eyes… and everything starts all over again.
It is a passion that never lets you go!

🙏 The grief of loss…

We rarely talk about that.
But with every farewell, a piece of us dies with them. Yet we rise again, for the puppies that still need a home.

🥰 Yes, there are beautiful moments.
Yes, there is immense joy.
But behind every experienced breeder lies a path full of sleepless nights, tears…

And an unconditional love for these special animals.♥️🥰♥️

A good rule of thumb when looking at new lumps or bumps on your dog.

Retail Rescue is the entire reason the USDA shut down imports from other countries. They brought in diseases. Diseases that killed hundreds of dogs.

Rescue means you don’t pay for the dog. It comes free and you take on the financial burden of caring for the dog.
Adopt from your local animal shelter.

Shop means purchasing a puppy from an ethical responsible breeder. Not all breeders are created equal.

Responsible breeders support breed rescues. Responsible breeders take the puppies the produce back at any age for any reason and have contracts stating as much.

We need to stop demonizing good breeders.

Retail Rescue diseases:
Asian Strain Canine Distemper (CDV): Imported dogs, particularly from overseas rescues, have introduced new strains of distemper not previously reported in North America.
Mystery Respiratory Illness: A persistent canine infectious respiratory disease (CIRD) that resists standard treatments, causing chronic coughing and rapid pneumonia, has been reported across multiple U.S. states.
Strep Zoo (Streptococcus zooepidemicus): A severe, often fatal, bacteria causing pneumonia, typically seen in farm animals, which has been surfacing in crowded rescue environments.
Canine Influenza (H3N2): Though not brand new, this virus often spreads through rescue networks, causing serious outbreaks among dogs at social events, boarding, or daycare.
Leptospirosis Spike: While not strictly from imports, cases are increasing, and this bacteria can be carried by rescued dogs, causing severe kidney or liver damage.

So many people don’t understand that when we say “adopt or shop responsibly”, the responsibly part applies to adopting too.

Purchasing dogs at mill auction is not rescue.
Purchasing dogs at mill auction is directly contributing to the vicious cycle allowing dogs to continuously be bred unethically.
This is retail rescue and it’s part of the problem.

Please follow the links and say no to this bill’s wording. Ask your representatives to change the wording.

The current wording risks Field trials and training. Help protect our dogs.

There is a last minute addendum to the Farm Bill that would ban the use of live animals being used for dog training. Obviously, an issue for those of us who participate in hunt tests, field trials, or hunt/train at sporting clubs.

Please consider the filling out the attached letter from Sportsman’s Alliance (link in comments). Once you add your zip code, it will populate with your Senator’s information. Hopefully, the language can be amended in the Senate.
