Golden Retriever puppies for sale in Barnard Castle County Durham

Golden Retrievers are friendly, reliable, and trustworthy. They are eager to please and highly intelligent, making them one of the easiest breeds to train. They are patient with children, get along well with other pets, and are generally welcoming to strangers. They have a playful, puppy-like demeanour well into adulthood and thrive on human companionship.

Golden Retrievers are prone to hip and elbow dysplasia, certain heart conditions, and eye problems such as cataracts and progressive retinal atrophy.
