BE WARNED - Golden Retrieve

All I can do is relate my experience with this company and let you make the call...

In March I purchased a Golden Retriever puppy. After a few months of the puppy continually dripping urine we had a number of diagnostic tests that determined he was born with only 1 kidney and the 1 kidney looked unhealthy. When contacted the company did offer to take the puppy back and send a replacement puppy but with no refund.
We chose to keep the 1 kidneyed dog and give it the best life possible, including paying $5000 to have a urethral cuff installed around his urethra in an attempt to stop the dripping of urine.
After about a year of a relatively "normal" dog (the urethral cuff worked) he developed a new problem. He wasn't able to pee at all. The cuff wasn't the problem as we had it tested, the problem was just the way the dog "was made" in that the nerves and muscles didn't act in concert to allow him to pee normally. Over the last 6 months or so we've made about a half dozen trips to the vet for a catheterization to relieve the dogs bladder. He has previously been able to pee in spritzes and dribbles but now he can't even do that and we are at the point now where we I'll be having to make some unfortunate and tough decisions after a 2 year roller coaster ride.
I will never buy from this company again as I feel it's a puppy mill that cares only about their bottom line and not doing the right thing or having the puppy's interests at heart.
