Choosing a Golden Retriever Puppy that Has Been Registered with the AKC
Golden retrievers are beautiful, family-oriented dogs that can provide more than a decade of canine comfort and companionship. Before choosing a breeder and purchasing your golden retriever puppy, it is worthwhile to take into consideration whether or not the puppy is registered with the American Kennel Club (AKC).
People who choose AKC golden retriever puppies are able to see family histories for the dog and learn about potential health and behavioral issues before making the final purchase. This gives the added benefit of helping to choose a dog with a temperament that matches the family with which it will be living.
The American Kennel Club (AKC) is a non-profit canine registry organization that has been working to register purebred dogs for well over a century. In addition to providing this registration service, the AKC works to promote purebred dogs and their health, to encourage responsible dog ownership, and to safeguard the rights associated with dog ownership.
Choosing a puppy that is on the AKC registry provides a dog owner with a wealth of information and resources to ensure a healthy and happy canine lifestyle.
The AKC website is a great place to begin your search for a puppy, since they list local breeders and can help you to identify the breeder in your area who can provide the right golden retriever puppy for you and your family. The AKC also holds many events for dogs and their owners to participate in, such as field trials and dog shows.
Golden retrievers have a long history of sporting event participation and are particularly adept at showmanship, as well as generally being beautiful and well-behaved. With the proper training, AKC golden retriever puppies have the ability and temperament to take advantage of these opportunities, providing entertainment and satisfaction for both the dog and its owner.
Whether your primary purpose for AKC registration is to ensure a good line for health and behavior reasons, or you are interested in having a show dog, choosing an AKC golden retriever puppy can bring years of canine happiness into your life.
