Golden Retriever Breeders

[TippyCanoe]

I just had to put down my golden retriever at only 6.5 years old. Liver cancer took her from me too early. Somewhere in the next year I'm going to be looking for another golden pup. I'm looking for a reputable breeder in Alberta and any experiences you have had with them. Ideally I'm looking at the health history of the pedigree to try and reduce the chances of cancer, hip displaysia, elbows, etc.

I'm looking for a companion and family dog and don't really need to pay for the hunting pedigree as I wouldn't be training the dog for this.

Any information you have would be greatly appreciated. I'm in Calgary but would be willing to travel throughout the province for the right breeder and right dog.

Thanks in advance.
