Since I Am Getting A Pure-bred Golden, Why Cant I Breed the Dog?
The very need for EGRR is the best reason not to breed. The Golden is the sixth most popular breed registered by the American Kennel Club. There is an over-population problem, because people breed their Goldens “for the kids,” or to “get money out of the dog,” or because “he/she is so beautiful we want one of his/ her puppies.” Breeding is a time-consuming, costly venture that is best left to professionals who truly want to better the breed and understand the intricacies of the breeding selection process. Few people make money from responsible breeding.
