Need a Golden Retriever

**Salt** · April 4th, 2008, 01:57 AM

Not too long ago my 3 and 1/2 yr old golden retriever (greatest dog in the world) died while he was on a walk with me. He did have a heart condition, subaortic stenosis to be specific, but like I said just dropped dead while I was walking him. I just wasnt expecting it. I have done my share of grieving and realize its time to move on. Does anyone know of a reputable breeder or anyone that has any golden retriever puppies, specifically in NEPA? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

A good friend of mine breeds them in the Pittsburgh area. Very good bloodline. I'm not sure when the next litter will be though. John McCreight 412.951.8077

Sorry about your dog. It's hard enough when they're old and it's time, to have one just go like that is terrible.

Thank you for the kind words. It happend so quick its something that will take a long time to get over. I still cant believe it. Pittsburgh is a little too far for me to travel, especially with a puppy on the way back, but none the less I will look into this and contact Mr. McCreight.

When my mother gets her Doberman puppies, she travels to Nevada from Florida for them. Before her breeder (and she) moved she would drive from Pittsburgh to South Carolina to get them.

For a good reputable breeder, no distance is too far to travel.

I've always been a big fan of the rescued dog, myself. Somewhere out there, there's a Golden who wants to be your dog.
