Questions & Answers
The most interesting thing about Golden Retrievers is their love for people. From day one, Golden Retriever puppies are known for seeking out human contact and giving out cuddles and kisses to anyone who passes by. Their happy-go-lucky attitude follows them right into adulthood, so it's not uncommon to find an older Golden Retriever vying for attention and giving everyone they meet googly eyes in hopes of a few extra pets.
Golden Retrievers are not considered hypoallergenic, so people with allergies may still have a reaction to them. It is possible for a non-hypoallergenic dog to be allergy-friendly, but it depends on the individual animal and the severity of the allergy. Those who are considering a Golden Retriever should take into account the breed's shedding, as it typically will bring in certain proteins that can cause an allergic reaction.
Golden Retrievers require a nutritionally balanced diet tailored to their specific size, age, and activity level. Puppies and active adults should receive food that is higher in fat to support growth and development, while older and less active dogs benefit from foods that are lower in fat and higher in fiber. Feeding dry dog food is a great way to meet daily calorie and nutrient needs. Look for a food that meets the nutritional guidelines set by AAFCO for dogs at your pet's age and life stage.
Before getting a Golden Retriever, it's important to make sure you have a few essentials to provide a healthy and safe home for your dog. A sturdy and secure fence is essential as Goldens are energetic and playful, and will need plenty of space to run around. Collars, leashes, and ID tags are important to control your dog and keep them safe if they ever escape.
Generally, Golden Retrievers are not considered small dogs. They are a medium to large-sized breed, and can weigh between 55 to 75 pounds, with a height between 21.5-24 inches. Of course, there is a bit of variability, as some golden retrievers may be slightly smaller or larger than what's typically seen. However, they should still be considered a medium to large breed, and are not typically what most people would think of when considering small dogs.
Golden Retrievers need a moderate to high level of exercise to stay healthy and content. Walk or jog with your retriever to keep them in shape. They retain more energy and typically become bored if they are not regularly given opportunities to burn off energy. Playing fetch and going on regular hikes are great ways to give your Golden Retriever exercise. Also, try to give your retriever mental stimulation activities like obedience training, playing hide-and-seek, or going to a park that allows off-leash exercise.
Generally speaking, Golden Retrievers are very welcoming and friendly to new people, especially children. They often develop strong bonds with their family members and are known for being loyal. Golden Retrievers are known to be patient and gentle, providing a calm atmosphere in any home. As such, Golden Retrievers do very well in households with kids. They are gentle enough to be around the youngest of children without being rough, but have enough energy to be playful with older children. They also have an incredible ability to sense the moods of those around them, making them great company.
Training a Golden Retriever is a rewarding experience, but not necessarily an easy one. While they are one of the more popular breeds, Golden Retrievers are often considered to be stubborn and require an experienced hand and lots of patience. That being said, when done correctly, it's incredibly rewarding to both the owner and pup when they are masters of the basics including sit, stay, come, and even working on basic commands. It takes plenty of dedication, but when you're rewarded with a well-trained pooch, it's worth it!
