Questions & Answers
Golden Retrievers are incredibly loyal and loving family pets. They are highly active and social, loving to go on long walks and play fetch. Golden Retrievers have an excellent sense of smell, making them ideal for hunting and tracking. They are quite intelligent and can be taught commands, tricks, and other behaviors with proper training. Golden Retrievers are also known to be good with children, although socialization and obedience training is recommended to ensure they know the appropriate behavior for all interactions.
Golden Retrievers have thick, dense coats that require regular grooming and proper care to keep them looking their best. Unfortunately, although they are a low-shedding breed, they are not non-shedding. During shedding season, which is typically during the spring and fall months, they can shed quite heavily. Regular brushing will help keep the loose fur to a minimum, but it is virtually impossible to avoid some evidence of shedding.
When making a decision about the best food for your Golden Retriever, there are some important things to consider. First, you'll want to make sure the food selected has a nutrient profile that fits the needs of large breed dogs. Additionally, it's important to find a food that has high-quality ingredients, specifically tailored for a Golden Retriever's dietary needs. Additional factors like digestive health, allergies, and taste should also be taken into consideration. Royal Canin makes a number of excellent diets specifically for Golden Retrievers.
Becoming the best puppy parent while waiting for your Golden Retriever starts by gathering as much knowledge and information about the breed as possible. Read books, talk to breeders, visit pet supply stores and speak to a veterinarian or knowledgeable dog experts. Additionally, having the necessary supplies on hand beforehand is important. Purchase a collar and leash, food and water bowls, a comfortable pet bed, toys, treats, grooming supplies and waste removal supplies. Having these items ready will make the transition much smoother.
No, Golden Retrievers are not considered small dogs. They generally range in size from 25 to 30 inches, and depending on their sex and age, their weight can range between 55-75 lbs. This makes Golden Retrievers one of the larger breeds, so they typically wouldn't be classified as a small dog. Golden Retrievers are usually considered a medium-to-large breed, but they do come in various sizes. To determine the exact size of a dog, there are a few factors to consider, including their breed, age, and gender.

They love to play games such as fetch, tug-of-war, or frisbee-catching, and will be happy to join in whatever activity you are doing.

Yes, Golden Retrievers are known for being an incredibly friendly and loyal breed, making them perfect for any family looking for a pet that is also great with children.

Golden Retriever puppies are especially cuddly and loving and will respond positively to your affection, which is why they make excellent family pets.
The amount of time it takes to train a Golden Retriever per day can vary depending on the individual and their level of experience. If they are just starting out, it is generally suggested that 15 to 30 minutes a day is enough to get them started. As they progress, they may need up to an hour per day for socialization, obedience training, and other activities that help build the bond between the dog and its owner. Additionally, having shorter but more frequent training sessions can also be beneficial.
