Questions & Answers
A Golden Retriever is a large-sized breed of dog with a distinctive, thick, golden-colored coat. It is one of the most popular family pets, known for its kindness, friendliness, and loyalty. The breed is outgoing, friendly, and intelligent, making it great for a variety of tasks, such as fetching, hunting, and retrieving. Golden Retrievers also make excellent jogging partners and are renowned for their ability to relate to people.
The Golden Retriever's coat has a thick, water-repellent outer coat and a downy undercoat that is typically a different shade of gold than the outer coat color. It is often considered a moderate or "average" shedder and makes a great pet for those that don't want a lot of mess around the house. Their coat is generally long to medium length, giving them a beautiful, full look. The undercoat helps keep them warm in cooler temperatures.
Golden Retrievers enjoy a balanced diet that includes puppy food for young puppies, adult dry food for older puppies, and wet food mixed in or oftentimes served alone for extra flavor and nutrition. Regular feeding habits and times are important for dogs, especially active breeds like Golden Retrievers. Also, those with high energy levels will need additional snacks throughout the day. A mixture of healthy human foods such as boiled chicken, rice, cooked sweet potatoes and carrots, as well as well-cooked meats, vegetables, fruits, grains, and cheese, will give them additional nutrients needed.
Preparing your home for a new Golden Retriever is important to ensure that the transition is smooth and comfortable for both you and your new pet. Before bringing the dog home, make sure all household items such as cords and breakables are out of reach and secured in an area where the dog cannot get to them. Choose a specific area of your home for the dog’s bedding and toys, and make sure the area is clean and comfortable.
Golden Retrievers are considered to be medium-sized dogs. Generally, they weigh between 50 and 80 pounds and stand at about 20 – 24 inches tall. Depending on individual size and breed, some may seem small or large. Generally, the American Kennel Club (AKC) standards for the Golden Retriever have them in the medium dog breed size range. With this in mind, the Golden Retriever may not be considered a small dog by comparison with other breeds. However, they are certainly not considered a giant breed.
Absolutely, Golden Retrievers love to swim! Although they didn't all originate as a breed that swam, the breed has since taken a strong liking to water. This makes them quite the amazing swimmer and enjoyable to watch. The water provides loads of fun for Goldens not only are they able to get physical activity but it also serves as an awesome way to cool off in a hot day, a great way to socialize and an opportunity to showcase their skills. They often will fetch sticks and toys, swim straight across the pool and even practice doggie-paddling.
Absolutely! Golden Retrievers are highly social dogs and are known for being excellent family pets. They are typically great with children and other animals that they live with. They have an especially sweet, loyal temperament and are protective of their family. They are also patient, eager to please, and love to be around their family. In addition, they enjoy being active and are fairly easy to train making them well-suited for family activities and play. Plus, they have a beautiful, gleaming coat and friendly eyes which make them an especially appealing choice for a family pet.
Training a Golden Retriever can be relatively straightforward, depending on the individual dog's temperament and strengths, as well as the efforts put into their grooming and training. Patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement are essential ingredients when it comes to training a Golden Retriever. With the right guidance, a Golden Retriever can learn a plethora of commands, such as sit, stay, down, come, and heel, as well as fun tricks like playing “fetch” and “roll over”.
