Our friend’s grand-daughter and her partner have purchased a golden retriever puppy. It’s only just been born and will be coming from the Eastern States. It will an expensive dog with air fares added to the actual price of the dog. It’s a male and is to be called Denzil.
What I found amusing though was that they were sent an ultrasound of the puppies in the womb. I guess it helps justify the cost. Golden retrievers are lovely dogs and I’m looking forward to making its acquaintance one day.

I'm not sure what the congratulations are for. The dog isn't for us. I'd be going for a rescue dog too if I ever wanted one.

I really don't know but you'd think there would have to be. They're a young couple but perhaps already have a bit more money than sense. 
They are really not smart, my husband used to look at Winnie and to tell her "you are really a dumb blonde".

That was my thought too but I managed to shut my gaping mouth and keep it shut.

My oldest son has a lovely Golden Retriever. She is well mannered and smart…honestly a person can get purebreds from a rescue, they get relinquished constantly, just like other dogs. The thing he most regrets is that Goldens often don’t live a long life,and they have a tendency towards hip displacement. His girl is 8 years now and gets shots monthly for her hips. She is doing a lot better. I hope your son’s new dog will be a part of his family. I’ve done a lot of rescue work over the years, there are often Goldens and all kinds of purebreds.

I would go for a rescue dog too. We don't know the couple that well and certainly didn't have any input into their choice but it's a shame they didn't check out the shelters.
