Several on this site have hunted with my Golden (Max). They can attest to his hunting skills et al. I bought him from a breeder in Wisconsin seven years ago and can direct you to them if you wish, if you are still searching. Their current liters are $1800...
Start with Goldenboy here on this site. Beautiful dogs, timing for me was bad or I would have had one of his pups. My current Golden came from Webshire Kennels outside Appleton, WI. You won't be disappointed.
