Questions & Answers

These intelligent and devoted dogs are now also prized family companions and serve as guide dogs for the visually impaired, and search and rescue dogs. They have a mellow, friendly personality and a desire to please their owner, and love to be active and enjoy outdoor pursuits such as swimming, walking, agility and targeting. Golden Retrievers make loyal and do not do well living in isolation or away from their loved ones for long periods.
The Golden Retriever coat is a soft, straight double coat. It has a thick undercoat that is waterproof, helps insulate them in cold weather, and is great for shedding dirt and debris. The top coat is known to be highly water-resistant, creating a natural weather barrier for the breed. However, brushing the coat on a regular basis is recommended to remove any dead hairs and mats. Generally speaking, the coat is made up of a medium-length outer coat and a soft, shorter undercoat.
The best dog food for Golden Retrievers typically depends on the age and activity level of your pet, but in general, foods that are rich in protein and contain an adequate amount of fat and fiber make for an ideal diet. A good quality formula designed specifically for this breed is a great way to keep your pup healthy and active. In addition, you should always look for foods that contain omega-3 fatty acids and a mix of vitamins and minerals to help promote better digestion, healthier coats, and stronger immune systems.
Preparing your home for a new Golden Retriever requires a few things. First, check for anything that the puppy could chew or swallow, such as strings, cords, or shoes. Second, make sure that some areas of your house are off-limits to the puppy, such as certain rooms that contain items that are easily breakable. Third, secure your trash can, as Golden Retrievers may see trash as a fun to play with! And lastly, provide a comfortable and cozy spot for your puppy to rest and sleep.
Golden Retrievers are beloved for their friendly personalities and lovable appearance. When it comes to size, they tend to be quite substantial generally ranging from 21.5 to 24 inches at the withers for males, and 20.5 to 22.5 inches for females. Many full-grown males can weigh between 65 and 75 pounds, while females usually range from 55 to 65 pounds. Truly, Golden Retrievers are the perfect mix of petite and powerful!
Absolutely! Golden Retrievers are renowned for their incredibly active, athletic nature. While loving to spend time curled up next to you at home, they still need plenty of exercise. Grooming, walks, trips to the park, and playing fetch are all incredibly important for both a healthy body and mind. It's important for them to have a job to do, whether that's a walk around the park or partaking in a sport like agility or retrieving.
Golden Retrievers typically make wonderful family dogs because their greater size gives them a commanding presence, and their loving nature makes them gentle and patient with children. Not surprisingly, they are often adopted into families who have kids. In addition, coupled with their intelligence and eagerness to please, Golden Retrievers also possess an eagerness to learn, which makes them especially well suited for providing companionship to kids. Furthermore, these gentle giants love being part of a family, so they will almost certainly provide your family with endless hours of joy.
Training a Golden Retriever can be a rewarding experience, however, it is not necessarily easy. While Goldens are naturally smart and eager to learn, like any breed, they require consistent and frequent training to focus their energy in the right place. A Golden's friendly personality may lead them to be more easily distracted by people or other animals, so having a routine and sticking to it is essential. Breaking down large tasks into small segments and providing rewards for success will help your Golden stay motivated and build confidence.
