Questions & Answers
Golden Retrievers are classified as sporting dogs. This group of dogs, bred to be used for hunting, retriever, pointing, and setter, is well known for their loyalty, intelligence, and friendly disposition. In addition to retrieving birds that have been shot, Golden Retrievers can do a variety of tasks, from aiding the disabled to being trained in search and rescue. Their robust build, thick coat, and laid-back attitude make them an ideal breed for a loving companion pet, while their natural instincts and willingness to please make them suitable for almost any kind of activity.
Golden Retrievers are not hypoallergenic breeds, meaning they are more likely to cause allergic reactions than breeds that are hypoallergenic. Since their coats are thick and wavy, they tend to shed, which can make an allergic person's symptoms worse. They are still one of the most popular breeds in the U.S. for families with allergies, though, due to their low-shedding, water-resistant coat, which reduces some of the allergen levels.
Golden Retrievers thrive on diets that are high in protein, and it's important to provide them with a well-balanced diet. Look for a premium dry dog food made with high-quality, all-natural ingredients. Aim for a food with more than 30% protein and 10-15% fat. Additionally, you could consider adding wet dog food to your Golden Retriever's diet for variety. Canned food that is high in protein is ideal as a supplement, and they may especially enjoy occasional treats such as boiled chicken breasts, fresh fruit, or vegetables such as carrots and squash.
Before bringing home a new Golden Retriever, it is important to have all the essentials you need for a successful transition. Make sure to get a sturdy and comfortable dog bed, some high-quality food and bowls, a collar and an ID tag, a sturdy leash for walks, toys for playing and chewing, a quality brush and grooming products to keep them looking their best, chew treats and a first aid kit. Additionally, get items that make your pup feel comfortable, such as a crate or gated area, puppy pads, and pre-measured scoops for food.
Golden Retrievers are a medium-large size breed of dog. They are typically around 21-24 inches tall when fully grown and usually weigh 65-75 pounds for males, and 55-65 pounds for females. Depending on their diet, lifestyle, and parental genetics, some Golden Retrievers may grow larger than the average size. It is important to monitor their weight and diet as they can become overweight quickly if not monitored. Some Golden Retrievers may reach upwards of 90 pounds although this is quite rare and not considered to be the average size.
Golden Retrievers typically need moderate to high amounts of exercise. Depending on individualized needs and goals, anywhere from two to five hours of activities per day, such as walks, playtime, and agility training, are important for optimal health. Exercise also relieves boredom, reduces stress, stimulates mental stimulation, and strengthens the bond between you and your Golden Retriever. It is best to create an activity plan to ensure they are getting the right amount of physical and mental exercise, as an under or over stimulated dog can become destructive or anxious.
Yes, Golden Retrievers are excellent with kids! Not only are they intelligent, loving and gentle, but they are also playful, loyal, and usually enjoy learning. They are great at adapting to different environments, and they tend to be very patient and tolerant with children. This makes them perfect for households with children or even just for visiting kids. Moreover, Golden Retrievers are normally very eager to please, making them easy and fun to train. All in all, Golden Retrievers are a smart, calm, and dependable breed that make great companions for children.
The required amount of minutes per day to train a Golden Retriever varies depending on the age, size, attention span, and learning abilities of the individual dog. Generally speaking, adult Golden Retrievers should receive a minimum of sixty minutes training each day, preferably split in two to three sessions throughout the day. Puppy Golden Retrievers should receive two to three short training sessions each day which should start at five minutes and gradually increase as the puppy increases their attention span. Rewards such as treats and playtime should be used throughout the training as positive reinforcement.
