Questions & Answers
Golden Retrievers are loyal, loving, and smart—the perfect all-around companion. They thrive when provided with regular exercise, training, socialization activities, and the chance to have fun. These loyal and devoted dogs also require a brush and occasional shampoo, as well as regular visits to the vet. They're very trainable and can excel at different sports, like tracking, agility, retrieving, and obedience. Golden Retrievers are known to be very affectionate and often develop a special bond with their owners.
No, Golden Retrievers are not hypoallergenic. While individual Golden Retrievers may be less likely to cause an allergic reaction than other breeds, none are 100% hypoallergenic. Allergens associated with Golden Retrievers include dander, saliva, and urine. People with allergies should be aware that any breed may cause reactions and that no one breed is "hypoallergenic.
Golden Retrievers should only ingest food that are specifically formulated for their breed. Foods like human food, chocolates, raisins, grapes, macadamia nuts, and onions are all toxic for them. Keep in mind that commercial dog food is prepared based on the nutritional requirements of the canine species, meaning that homemade food might not have all the nutrients a Golden Retriever needs in their diet. The AKC (American Kennel Club) website has detailed information about the best diets for each dog breed.
Before bringing a Golden Retriever into your home, you'll want to be as prepared as possible. Start by purchasing a food and water dish, crate, collar and leash, toys, nail clippers, brushing tools (brushes, combs, shampoo), a safe area for the pup to exercise in, puppy pads, and doggie doo-doo bags.
Golden Retrievers come in a range of sizes, typically from 55 to 75 cm tall at the shoulder and weighing between 25 and 34 kg on average. However, size variation is common due to individual breed characteristics and nutritional levels; some individuals may weigh less or more. Generally, a larger size Golden Retriever tends to have more strength, heavier bones and a larger coat. Smaller sizes tend to be easier to manage and more suitable for apartment living. Ultimately, the size of your Golden Retriever will depend on genetics, diet, and other environmental factors.
Generally, Golden Retrievers should get at least an hour of exercise everyday, spread out into multiple walks. However, if you cannot commit to that much time every day, try to aim for at least two 30-minute walks and/or playtime. Walking for at least that long can help to ensure that your pet is getting all the physical and mental stimulation he or she needs to stay healthy and prevent behavioral issues. But it is essential to remember that each dog’s needs are different and if your Golden Retriever appears to need more exercise, that should be taken into consideration.
Yes, Golden Retrievers make great family dogs! They are highly intelligent, extremely loyal, and highly trainable. Golden Retrievers make lovable and playful companions and are quite eager to please their owners. They have an infectious enthusiasm that will make anyone smile and their gentle natures make them great around children. Golden Retrievers are also very active and can keep up with an active outdoor lifestyle, making them a perfect four-legged addition to any family. Additionally, they are incredibly social breeds, meaning they love being part of a family and get along with other dogs and animals.
Generally speaking, the amount of time it takes to train a Golden Retriever will depend on the individual dog's temperament and how much time you can dedicate to the process. In general, a good recommendation would be to commit to about 10 to 15 minutes of training per day, and to gradually build up from there. Golden Retrievers are great learners, so with consistent training sessions you should start to see improvements in their behavior within a few weeks.
