Questions & Answers
Golden Retrievers are loyal, intelligent, and devoted dogs that make wonderful companions. They love being around people and are great with children making them a great addition to any family. They have a thick, waterproof double coat that needs some daily brushing and grooming, and should have plenty of daily exercise. Golden Retrievers are known for being very active dogs and require extra physical and mental stimulation. Training and socializing should start early. With a moderate to high energy level, they get along well with other dogs and pets.
While some Golden Retrievers may shed less than other breeds, there is no such thing as a truly non-shedding Golden Retriever. Golden Retrievers are a double-coated breed, meaning they have two layers of fur, which means they will shed daily and seasonally.

This diet should be specifically tailored to the age and size of each individual dog. Your veterinarian can help you choose the best food for your Golden Retriever, based on their age, activity level, and general health. Feeding them with specific nutritional needs will help promote growth, activity, and, of course, a healthy coat.
Preparing for a new Golden Retriever is an exciting process! Start by ensuring that your home is ready for the puppy. Set up a secure, comfortable place to rest and toys appropriate for the puppy’s age. Consider pet-proofing your home as puppies will chew on anything! Have plenty of food, treats, and water available. Be sure to establish a routine for cuddles, bathroom breaks, and play sessions. Next, do some research on how to train your dog. Look up the best methods and find out what kinds of rewards are most effective.

Absolutely! Golden Retrievers love to swim. They are natural born swimmers and have an inherent affinity for water. It's not unheard of for a Golden Retriever to take the plunge into lakes or rivers, or jump enthusiastically into a backyard pool. In fact, Goldens' coats usually contain a natural water-repellent. Not only do they enjoy being in the water, but the coat helps them to stay warm even after many hours of being active in the water.

Training your Golden Retriever requires breaking the behavior training into manageable sections such as basic obedience, house-training and agility exercises. You should begin with familiarization of commands such as sit, stay, and come. Training each command for 5-10 minutes at a time over a few weeks is recommended. You should also give your Golden Retriever a few treats to create a positive association with commands and reinforce good behavior. Additionally, house-training should include stickiness to a designated spot and crate training for night time.
