How To Look For Golden Retriever Puppies For Sale In Pennsylvania
At My Golden Retriever Puppies, we make it super easy for you to find the perfect happy and healthy golden retriever puppy.
For nearly 10 years, we’ve worked with a community of carefully selected, responsible breeders who are verified by 3rd parties and passionate about raising golden retriever puppies—the right way.
We are also conveniently located in Northeast Ohio, about 2.5 hours from PA.
This makes it easy for many Pennsylvanians to pick up their pup in person! Just call the phone number on an individual puppy’s page to contact the breeder directly and plan a visit.
We love meeting our customers and we’re happy to help in any way we can! If you choose to visit a breeder, you can see the pups, play with them, and ask all the questions you need to make the right decision.
If you don’t feel like driving, no problem! We also provide other easy options so you can bring home your new furry family member.
We offer our expert, ground courier service across all of Pennsylvania. You’ll have the convenience of us personally bringing your new puppy right to your door (or a prearranged location). We bring our years of experience and take great care so your puppy has a safe and comfortable journey.
We even offer air travel to your nearest pet-friendly-flight airport like PHL. We go above and beyond to book the flight, provide a comfortable travel crate, and handle all the paperwork so you don’t have to worry. (This is better for longer trips so we recommend our PA customers use our ground service because it’s faster and more affordable.)
Whatever choice you prefer, we’ll make sure it’s the right one for you and your new golden retriever puppy.
In fact, for almost 10 years, we’ve brought hundreds of puppies to new homes all across the United States so you can rest easy if you’re looking for a golden retriever puppy in Pennsylvania.

Deciding between Breeders vs. Pet stores
There are roughly 13,000 pet stores in the US alone! So some might wonder why find a breeder when you can go to a nearby pet store and buy a new dog.
Well, although it seems like a cheaper or quicker option, it might not be the best one for you OR your puppy.
First, the sad truth is that many pups from pet stores come from puppy mills. The Humane Society defines a puppy mill as “an inhumane high-volume dog breeding facility that churns out puppies for profit, ignoring the needs of the pups and their mothers.”
(In fact, according to the non-profit, PAWS, roughly 90% percent of pet stores puppies from come from puppy mills!)
Next, because you’re not talking to a qualified breeder at a pet store, there will be many things you won’t know about your Golden—their history and health background, where your pup came from, how they were raised, who their parents are, etc.
Also, buying from a pet store could have a higher risk of unknown health or genetic problems. And keep in mind, life in pet stores can be very stressful on young pups because they’re in a tiny cage 24/7 unlike living on a large family farm with acres of space to run and play and plenty of time to interact with people so they become socialized.
But, if you adopt a Golden Retriever from a trusted breeder, you’ll have all of your new pup’s information from day one. You can even build a long, trusting relationship with them, meaning support is available to you anytime you might need it.
Also, at My Golden Retriever Puppies, you are always welcome to visit the breeder and puppies in person! That way, you can see where and how your puppy was raised and you can ask questions to our community of ethical breeders who put you and your puppy’s needs first—without the high-pressure sales teams of major pet companies.
Finally, unlike many stores, high-quality breeders usually offer 1-to-2-year-long health guarantees because they (should) stand behind their puppies.
Average Cost for Golden Retriever Puppies for Sale in Pennsylvania
Whether you’re in Pennsylvania or anywhere else in the US, the average cost of adopting your Golden Retriever puppy ranges from $1,000 to $3,500.
This price depends on several things such as 3rd-party assurances, health guarantees, and more. For example, Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) certifications for a pup’s parents usually lead to higher prices, but those assurances offer a LOT of peace of mind.
Or, if you’re looking for a pup with a championship bloodline, it can add to the price because it’s far rarer.
However, it’s critical to know that pups with shockingly low prices—prices that are far below average—could be a sign of trouble.
(As the saying goes, “If it’s too good to be true, it probably is.”)
Cheaper puppies are far more likely to come from puppy mills, where they don’t get adequate care or exams in order to cut costs. As a result, those puppies might be less expensive at first, but you’ll have to cover those mandatory costs yourself. Then, over time, the costs of your dog’s healthcare could skyrocket because they were raised poorly.
On the other hand, first-rate breeders might have higher starting prices, but their quality could save you thousands (or more) over the lifetime of your furry best friend.
At My Golden Retriever Puppies, we are committed to offering fair and affordable golden retriever prices for puppies raised with the highest care, quality, attention, and much more.

Frequently Asked Questions about Golden Retriever Puppies for Sale in Pennsylvania
Adopting a pet from a rescue can be a very rewarding experience, potentially saving a dog’s life and helping relieve overcrowded shelters across the country.
With this choice, there are a few things to know. Pups purchased through a shelter or rescue center don’t have the same health guarantees and assurances that high-level breeders offer.
You’re also less likely to get important info about your pup such as their exact breed, health and behavioral history, and even where they came from.
Some shelters and rescue centers also have long waitlists for adoption. So, if your heart is set on a purebred Golden Retriever, there might be a long waitlist and you might not get assurance on your pup’s pedigree and background.
But… these aren’t “deal breakers:” They should simply help you make the right decision based on what you are looking for.
After all, there are many amazing benefits to adopting from a rescue shelter too!
While some recommend that spring or summer are better seasons to buy new puppies because of the climate, not all breeds are the same.
But when it comes to Golden Retrievers, thankfully, any time of the year is great.
The reason why is because Golden Retrievers are better at adapting to different seasons and climates. Goldens actually have a “double coat,” which protects and insulates them so they can tolerate colder temperatures better than other breeds. (This can come in handy during winters in PA!)
So whether it’s the middle of summer or you’re shopping for a holiday season gift, you can buy golden retriever puppies anytime with confidence.
Because it’s easier than ever to buy puppies from across the US, you have access to all types of Golden Retrievers in PA. Rather than the old days of being limited to only what’s in your area, you can easily search online for American, British (English), and Canadian Goldens.
This also includes several different varieties like Field-Bred Golden Retrievers, Red Goldens, Show Goldens, and more.
At My Golden Retriever Puppies, we offer many different types at your convenience. Just take a look at our list of lovingly raised golden retriever puppies for sale.
It can be a hard decision to look through dozens of breeders and countless options.
