Questions & Answers

Easily recognizable by their buff-colored coats, these dogs have a strong, sturdy appearance combined with an intelligent and friendly disposition. Intelligent and eager to please, Golden Retrievers are often used as working dogs for tasks such as hunting, tracking, retrieving game for hunters, and other activities. They are well-known for their loyalty and love for their families, as well as their trainability. Because of their loyal and friendly nature, Golden Retrievers often perform well in obedience and agility competitions.
Golden Retrievers are not known for being a non-shedding breed. While they are considered to be on the lower side of the scale when it comes to shedding, they do still shed some hair year-round. While their coats are typically short and don’t require a great deal of maintenance, it’s important to remember that they do still lose hair, and if they’re not regularly brushed or professionally groomed, their coats can become matted.
Golden Retrievers are active dogs that need nutritious food to stay healthy. Opt for a high-quality diet that is specifically designed for large breed dogs. Look for a food that contains plenty of protein, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, and minerals that are beneficial to your pup. For those who prefer to make homemade meals for their furry friend, opt for lean meats like chicken, turkey, lamb, or beef, as well as plenty of calcium-rich foods like yogurt, cottage cheese, and cooked eggs. Serving your pup plenty of fruits, vegetables, and grains is also recommended.
Before getting a Golden Retriever, it is important to purchase essential items such as a collar with an identification tag, a leash, a four-foot or longer fence, food and water bowls, toys, dog beds, training materials and treats, and nutritious dog food that is appropriate for the age and size of the Golden Retriever. Additionally, you should get a brush that is specifically made for a Golden Retriever's fur.
Golden Retrievers come in a range of sizes, ranging from small to large. Generally speaking, the American Kennel Club lists three size varieties for Golden Retrievers. A small Golden Retriever adult weight ranges from 35-50 pounds, medium breeds range from 51-75 pounds, and large Golden Retrievers range from 76-100 pounds. Golden Retrievers are typically considered a medium to large breed of dog, but there are plenty of smaller Golden Retrievers out there as well. It all depends on the individual puppies in the litter and their DNA.
The amount of physical activity your Golden Retriever needs depends on her age, size, health, and breed type. Generally, a healthy adult Golden Retriever should get at least an hour of exercise each day, including 30 minutes of walking on leash. To achieve optimal physical and mental health, you should plan to walk your Golden Retriever two times a day; at least 30 minutes per session is ideal. However, some Golden Retrievers may require more or less depending on their different needs. It's important to assess your dog's physical fitness before devising an appropriate walking routine.
