Questions & Answers
Golden Retrievers are one of the most popular breeds of dogs in the world! Not only are they good family pets, but they were originally bred to help hunters retrieve waterfowl and upland game. They have a natural instinct to be very gentle when they carry a shot bird in their mouths. Golden Retrievers have a thick, water repellent double coat that keeps them warm when spending time in colder water. Their eyes come in shades of brown ranging from very light to a rich dark color.
No, Golden Retrievers are not considered to be hypoallergenic. They belong to the Non-Sporting Group of dog breeds, and unfortunately, all dog breeds produce proteins that cause allergic reactions in some people. While there are breeds that are thought to be less allergenic than others, Golden Retrievers have a moderate to high level of dander and shed moderate amounts of fur. People with allergies should avoid having this beautiful breed as a pet, and instead choose breeds with a lower potential for causing allergic reactions such as Poodles or Schnauzers.
Your Golden Retriever should be feed a nutritious and balanced diet that takes into account its age, activity level, and any health considerations. High-quality dry dog food, or a combination of wet and dry food, is often considered to be best for this breed. Be sure to provide fresh, clean water at all times. Your Golden Retriever may also enjoy occasional treats that are free from artificial colors, flavors, sweeteners, and preservatives. Remember, every dog is different; stay close to your vet's guidance and base your decisions on your particular pup's needs.
Adopting a Golden Retriever is an exciting experience! To make sure your canine companion has a positive introduction to your home, take some time to properly prepare. Start by investigating all the supplies you'll need including a bed, toys, food, treats, and a collar with ID tag. Make sure your home is puppy-proofed by safely storing away any items that can potentially cause harm. Puppies need routine veterinary care, so locate and book appointments with an experienced vet and prepare a budget for medical expenses.
Golden Retrievers typically come in a variety of sizes, from 15 to 24 inches in height and from 30 to 85 pounds in weight. Depending on individual genetics and breeding, Golden Retrievers can come in two distinct sizes: Standard or large and miniature or small. The average length of a Standard or large Golden Retriever is 21-24 inches, while the average length of a Miniature or small Golden Retriever is 15-18 inches.
