Beautiful dogs  

Unfortunately we don't have the space they would need so it would be unfair to be selfish and offer to take them ..

Now if someone donates me a million quid to buy a smallholding, I'd have them in a jiffy  

ony if i had a million

You must be finding this hard as you have to part with them.

i am, these are the best dogs  you could ever want, i have trouble with so many dogs, then i find the perfect dogs, few months later, got a job offer in new zealand and looked up the price of the dogs then saw i couldnt afford to take them over

Lovely dogs,  I have no intention of showing my daughter these photo's she is only 7 and won't understand that we have no room for any other dogs.

I`m terribly upset for Harvey and Charlie; so much so in fact, I`ve struggled to be able to contribute/comment on this thread.
IMO they`re surely going to feel the loss of their family profoundly, and you`re quite right in asserting that they MUST NOT be parted.

I sincerely hope that a kind and warm-hearted forum member will come forward to offer the guys a new home and welcoming family....but, if not:

1: Are there any local Retriever breeders you might contact; often they have connections and breed-enthusiastic doggie-friends whom might be able to assist.

2: Have a look for Golden Retriever online forums, joining one and making an appeal; citing Charlie and Harvey`s specific circumstances and need to remain together, might yield another forum member whom could offer a home.

3: Local radio; an appeal (carefully worded/stipulated) on one of the `phone-in programmes might bring forward some Golden Retriever loving listeners.

I so-wish that I might be of (more) practical help, I feel desperately sad for the guys, and hope their handsome heart-melting looks will make them be quickly snapped-up....
They will be in my prayers tonight (and each night) until I hear some good news.

You are right not to have them separated.

when i used to foster i fostered a pair of black lab sisters who were 8yrs old and the could not be separated. when they were separated between rooms they would go nuts roisey didnt like her kid sister lottie being away from her!

they ended up with me because the elderly couple who had them the gentle men had a stroke and ended up in a wheel chair.  
i fell out with the rescue centre i worked with because they said they were going to have to split them up to get them a home! i went nuts at them....... ..much to my admasement they would not take my advice and thought they could split them needless to say i with drew my skills and help to them. i found out that when they did spilt them up the girls health worsened. so they ended up in kennnels together. where the are now i dont know.  :-/

They look great dogs  

I couldnt really look after 3 (ive a black lab) altho Holly would love 2 playmates.....

Agree with you and others not to seperate them.....a friend of mine had 2 chocolate labs.....they used to whine and mope about if seperated even just for a short time (if one had to goto the vets for example)....
Sadly one of them had to put down (had a big internal growth that went undiscovered for years.....bloody useless vet   .... the vet kept telling my mate he was overfeeding it) The other lab didnt last long after that......i guess he couldnt understand where his brother had gone  

Hope you have success in finding a suitable home for them

Too much detail, we will have Deb's in tears.

We would love to take care of them for you, however, as you probably know, we took in two black german shepherds, brother and sister.

If we didn't have a two bedroom flat and had a bigger garden we would sap your arm off.

But....

Current circumstances prevail and it's just not feasible, much to our dismay.

I really hope you find someone who will care for and cherish them as much as you have done.

It's looks like there's a chance we may be able to help  

When are you off? Just have a slight concern because we've got a holiday planned for the middle of next month and it would be very difficult to make arrangements for them in the mean time.

Mrs LD is definitely coming round to the idea... Don't get me wrong, it's not taking much convincing for the dog side of things, it's just the concerns over how the cat will react!!

I think you are right.
I also think it will cheer everyone up, seems like many members, including me, in a moment of madness, were trying to re jig their homes to see if they could be fitted into peeps lifestyles / accommodation etc.
