| The sites listed above are excellent resources for finding out all the information you need to know about Golden Retrievers. It is very important that you find out the hip scores of the parents of any puppy you might consider buying, as well as making sure the parents have clear eye certificates. This is because of hip dysplasia and eye disease. Never buy a Golden Retriever puppy from any person where the hip scores of the parents of the pup are unknown and no eye certificates have been provided. You have no idea of what you're buying otherwise. |
Important information regarding Hip Dysplasia and Eye Disease.
| In
relation to hip dysplasia ; Hip dysplasia is known to occur in the breed. The parents of any puppy bred by Tarakota Golden Retrievers have been assessed under the Australian Veterinary Association program as having hips satisfactory for breeding purposes, which means that the risk of a puppy developing hip dysplasia is reduced. |
| In
relation to eye disease ; Certain eye diseases are known to occur in the breed. Again the parents of any puppy bred by Tarakota Golden Retrievers have current eye certificates from a canine opthalmologist. This means that they have been tested and showed no symptoms of eye disease at the time of testing. This again reduces the likelihood of a puppy developing eye-diseases. |
