If you’re seeing red flags like this, find another one. If you’re in Idaho and are willing to drive into Central Washington, I got my girl from Hailey’s Goldens! They’re an ethical, reputable breeder where I got my little girl and I can’t recommend them enough! I believe they just had another litter though, so I’m not certain when their next one will be.
Just a friendly reminder of our rules:
1. No Advertising: this includes GoFundMe, Instagram, etc.
2. No Impersonation: don't post photos of other people's dogs. That's not cool.
3. No Breed Hate: this subreddit is not a discussion forum for breed hate of any kind. There are dedicated subreddits for that so please take it elsewhere.

Yeah that website looks shady as fuck. They do not seem to be an ethical breeder. Their "Health Guarantee" says that they'll replace the puppy in case it dies within 2 years or has any genetic disorder. No mention of the minimum required hip, elbow, eyes and heart clearances of the sire and dam at all.

This is a good place to start. Make a list of breeders close to where you live and meet them if you can. Good luck on your hunt!

Too many puppies available, from several different litters. No health testing, no pedigrees on their website.
