Many people want to buy a purebred Golden Retriever, but often only pay attention to the height and body size of the Golden Retriever while neglecting some details. Actually, these small details are what you should focus on more, because they basically serve as a health certificate and household registration for your Golden Retriever.

Golden Retriever (Detailed Introduction)

Below are three points to note when purchasing purebred Golden Retrievers:

1. Request a health certificate for the purebred Golden Retriever. Since purebred Golden Retrievers are relatively expensive, their vaccination and health care requirements are correspondingly stricter. When buying a dog, you should ask the original owner for the dog's vaccination and deworming records or certificate.

This record or certificate is very helpful for the dog's future health care. Dogs that have not been vaccinated are not suitable for purchase, or ask the owner to have the dog vaccinated at a veterinary vaccination department before buying.

2. Request the pedigree certificate of the purebred Golden Retriever. Some people like to raise purebred dogs, but when purchasing a purebred dog, one point to remember: in addition to the health certificate, ask the owner for the dog's pedigree certificate.

The pedigree certificate generally should include the dog's breed, name, kennel name, date of birth, gender, coat color, breeder, names of littermates, and awards for competitions or training, training results, registrant, registration number, registration date, etc. Also, sign a transfer agreement with both parties' signatures, so that the dog can be re-registered and recognized by the relevant dog association.

If you do not complete this procedure, in the future, if your dog wants to participate in competitions or mate with other dogs, you will encounter many troubles due to the lack of a pedigree certificate.

3. It is best to pay a deposit first. It is better to first pay a partial deposit, then observe the puppy’s health for 3-5 days before taking the Golden Retriever puppy home.

Additionally, it is best to learn the dog’s original diet from the owner. After the dog returns home, feed it according to the original diet for a period, then gradually adjust the feed. Suddenly changing feed may cause the Golden Retriever to refuse food due to poor adaptation.
