HVGRC offers Puppy Referral services to individuals and families looking for a quality golden. Buying a Golden Retriever is a lifelong commitment and not an impulse decision. Our puppy referral volunteers will be happy to give you more information about purchasing a Golden Retriever from a reputable breeder. Please remember to give the puppy referral volunteer a few days to respond to your inquiry as they may be out at a dog show, on vacation, at work, or just involved with personal family life at the time of your call. 

If your call reaches an answering machine, the following hints will help the puppy referral volunteer return your call in a timely manner:

• In your message, please include the best time of day to reach you.
• Please leave an evening phone number as many puppy referral volunteers work full-time and are unable to return calls during the day.
• When leaving a message, speak slowly and clearly. Include an area code with your phone number, and the town in which you live.
• If your telephone number is long distance, your call may be returned as a collect call.
• If your call is not returned within a week, call back. Sometimes messages get lost.

For assistance, contact Binnie Weissleder at 802-375-9527 or at  This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.  .
