How can you pick a good golden retriever?

First do tons of research and find a good dog. If you do not, you may end up getting a dog that you can't handle and have to call a dog whisperer. Look on the internet or news paper to find a breeder who is selling that breed. If the breeder acts strange, such as not letting you see the mother or father, or not letting you see the room with the puppy at all. It is probably a puppy mill. This is illegal in most places. The pups that come from there usually have many defects and problems throughout their life. Please be cautious about these places.
