I re-read through the posts and I'm confused on something. You suggest I buy from a shelter because I'll know what I get, but won't that open me up to other potential problems? How do I know the dog wasn't abused? Assuming I get a healthy puppy, I'm confident my dog will mature to a wonderful pet.
Also, there has been a lot said about breeding and health problems. But isn't it true that Retrievers on the whole are prone to multiple disorders and a high incidence of cancer? A friend of mine just lost his Golden to cancer and it tore me apart to hear him tell me how he put it to sleep.
