Questions & Answers
Golden Retrievers are easily identifiable and beloved members of the Sporting Group of dogs. They are medium sized dogs, usually with a solid, golden-colored coat, and have a friendly and intelligent appearance. As a Sporting Group member, they fulfill a traditional sporting role such as retrieving fowl and small game. Golden Retrievers are also widely recognized for their service and search and rescue work as well as their excellent characteristics and behavior as a family pet. They are renowned for their loyalty and strong bond with their owners.
No, Golden Retrievers are not hypoallergenic. Hypoallergenic dogs have fur and dander that produce less of an allergic reaction in people with pet allergies. Generally, these dogs are small, have short coats, and tend to have less shedding. Golden Retrievers have long, dense coats, so they shed more than hypoallergenic dogs and make people more prone to pet hair allergies. As well, Golden Retrievers are large-sized dogs, so they may produce more dander than pet allergy sufferers would prefer.
Feeding a Golden Retriever the right diet can have a major impact on their overall health and energy levels. It's critical to choose a diet specifically formulated for large breed dogs, with high quality, age-appropriate ingredients. Generally, it's best to feed them two meals a day, with a healthy mixture of proteins and carbohydrates. A high-quality dry kibble is a convenient and energizing option that provides sustained energy, but providing additional wet food, or a variety of proteins, can help increase palatability and add nutritional benefits.
Golden Retrievers do have some specific considerations that owners should be aware of. Generally, these dogs require plenty of daily exercise, both physical and mental, and benefit from a consistent diet. They also need plenty of attention and affection, as they are very people-oriented animals who crave human companionship. They have a high prey drive and need to be socialized with other animals during puppyhood. They are also prone to separation anxiety, so it is essential they have plenty of company and an appropriate release of energy each day.
Golden Retrievers are not typically classified as small dogs. While they may be smaller than larger breeds, they typically stand 21 to 24 inches tall and weigh between 55 and 75 pounds, which is larger than many small breeds. Generally speaking, Golden Retrievers are considered to be medium-sized dogs and are part of the sporting or retriever group.
