Questions & Answers
Golden Retrievers are a devoted, attentive, intelligent breed of dog who love to please their owners. They are known for their especially friendly behaviour and characteristic golden-hued coat, hence their name. Fun facts about Golden Retrievers include that the breed was first developed in Scotland, originally as gun dogs, and that during World War II the breed was used to identify enemy MIAs. As therapeutic animals, they are used in hospitals, prisons, nursing homes, schools, and other institutional settings.
It is possible for Golden Retrievers to cause allergies, however there is no consensus as to whether or not this is true. Every individual body is different and as such, it is important to be mindful of things that can trigger allergies and to take precautions accordingly. Taking preventative measures such as purchasing a hypo-allergenic breed, regular grooming and cleaning, vacuum cleaning, air cleaners, and keeping windows and doors closed may help minimize symptoms. Consulting with your physician before getting a dog is also recommended.
Golden Retrievers are a breed that need a nutrient dense and high-protein diet. This should include items such as quality meat, poultry, fish, eggs, and dairy proteins. Depending on age, the diet should also include fruits, vegetables, and grains. They should also be provided with treats as a reward or occasional snack, but not as their main food source. Remember to always feed them a balanced diet that is specially formulated for their breed. It's important to provide enough nutrition to maintain their health and optimal energy throughout their lifetime.
Preparing for a new Golden Retriever can be an exciting yet daunting task! Before bringing your pup home, ensure your home is pet-friendly by clearing out any small objects or chemicals that could be dangerous to them. Create a designated area with food and water dishes, bedding and toys to show your pup their space. Additionally, look into obedience classes that will help you bond with your pup and teach them how to interact with you and other pets. You'll want to build a relationship through positive reinforcement and consistency in providing rewards.
While Golden Retrievers are medium-sized dogs, they tend to be one of the smaller breeds of their size group. The average Golden Retriever adult stands at about 21 to 24 inches (53-60cm) tall when measured from the shoulder to paw, and will usually weigh about 55 to 75 pounds (25-34kg). This is definitely larger than the average small-breed dog, which has a height of up to 18 inches (46cm) and typically doesn't weigh more than 22 pounds (10kg).
Your Golden Retriever should receive at least 30-60 minutes of exercise per day. This exercise can be split up into a few different walks throughout the day, or one long walk. If you decide to do multiple walks, make sure that the total time adds up to at least 30 minutes. To best support the health and well-being of your Golden Retriever, aim for a minimum of 30 minutes of walking or other activities such as jogging or playing fetch.
Absolutely! Golden Retrievers are known for their loving and gentle nature, making them an ideal family pet. Not only are Golden Retrievers patient and loyal, they are also intelligent and eager to please, making them highly trainable and easy to care for. They also have a great strength and size that can provide protection for their family. Socially, these dogs enjoy being around people – both children and adults – and other animals, making them an outstanding breed for young families.
Training your Golden Retriever is an important part of having a healthy, well-behaved dog. Golden Retrievers are very smart and eager to learn, so training can be a rewarding experience for both you and your pup. Start with basic commands such as sit, stay, and come. Begin with simple distractions in your house such as positioning your pup in different spots, and gradually get harder such as introducing external noise. Make sure to reward your pup with positive reinforcement such as treats and verbal praise when they do a good job.
