Questions & Answers
Golden Retrievers are a popular breed of dog known for their intelligence, good-natured personalities, and loyalty. They are easy to train, making them a great pet for any age and activity level. This breed is friendly and can thrive in both an indoor or outdoor environment depending on the owner's preference and lifestyle. Golden Retrievers typically live between 10-12 years and can weigh anywhere from 35 to 75 lbs. Health issues that may arise in this breed can include hip and elbow dysplasia, as well as eye and skin conditions.
In general, no, Golden Retrievers are not considered hypoallergenic. As a breed, they are known for having a thick, medium-length coat, as well as a dense undercoat, which means that they have a tendency to shed a substantial amount of fur. This in turn can lead to triggering allergies in individuals who are sensitive to pet dander. While some experts have suggested that there may be a few individual dogs who may have less of a propensity to produce allergens, it is generally accepted that Golden Retrievers cannot generally be considered hypoallergenic.
It's important to understand the dietary needs of Golden Retrievers so that you know which foods to avoid. The best resource for this information is your veterinarian. They can provide you with the healthiest diet recommendations based on your pet's age, weight, and activity level. Make sure to research the ingredients of any food product you feed your Golden Retriever, as some items can be harmful for your pet. Generally, it is best to avoid foods with artificial additives, colorings, dyes, preservatives, or flavors.
To prepare your home for your new Golden Retriever, focus on safety first. Pet proofing your home is essential to preventing chewable items from being ingested. Secure any cords for televisions, computers, and other electronics, and make sure houseplants are out of reach. Also, create a designated sleeping space with a comfy bed or crate that is cozy and provides your pup with a sense of security. To keep her entertained provide chew toys that are durable, sanitized, and free of toxins.
Golden Retrievers are generally considered to be large dogs due to their size and weight. An adult male Golden usually stands between 22 and 24 inches tall and weighs between 65 and 75 lbs, while a female stands between 20 and 22 inches and weighs between 55 and 65 lbs. This makes them bigger than many other popular breeds such as Poodles or Shih Tzus, but smaller than breeds like Newfoundlands or St. Bernards. Golden Retrievers' muscular body comes with moderate activity and exercise requirements, making them ideal companion animals for many active families.
