Questions & Answers
Golden Retrievers are highly intelligent, loyal, and loving dogs that make wonderful companions for families. They are easily trainable and respond very well to positive reinforcement and a lot of patience. Golden Retrievers have an incredible amount of energy and will require plenty of exercise; a minimum of 30 minutes every day is recommended. They have a thick coat which requires regular brushing and groomers visits to keep them looking healthy. They typically live 10-12 years and, while largely healthy, can be predisposed to certain health conditions.
Each person's sensitivity to allergens can differ, making it impossible to definitively answer whether Golden Retrievers will cause a person to have allergies. Generally, shedding fur from a pet contributes to creating an environment that can trigger allergies, so if you have allergic sensitivities, it is essential to be mindful of your surroundings. You may find that you can manage allergies by weekly brushing and grooming, regular vacuuming, dusting, and washing bedding frequently to reduce the amount of dander and fur in the air.
Golden Retrievers are known for their friendly personalities and beautiful coats. For this reason, it is important to provide them with nutritional food that will help keep them in tip-top shape. With so many types of dog food on the market, it can be difficult to decide which one is the best for Golden Retrievers. Especially since there are varying dietary needs for younger and older Goldens.
Preparing for a new Golden Retriever requires good planning and research. First, you should make sure the environment in your home is suitable for your new pet. For example, create a safe space where your dog can hang out during the day, and confirm that furniture in your home is pet-friendly. Next, consider the supplies you'll need including a collar and leash, food and water bowls, chew toys, potty pads, bedding, and brushes. Visit your local pet store to pick these items up.
Golden Retrievers are considered a medium-large-sized breed of dog. Generally, they reach between 21‒ 24 inches in height and weigh between 55 ‒ 75 pounds. Males tend to be larger than females. As puppies, Golden Retrievers can appear quite large and weigh from 20 to 40 pounds, but they don't reach their full adult size until around 18 months to two years old.
Yes, Golden Retrievers absolutely love to swim. As a breed, Golden Retrievers are very eager for all kinds of physical activity, especially water-related activities. Not only do they like to paddle around, they are also highly skilled swimmers. Any individual Golden Retriever will enjoy being taken for regular swims during the summer months and can even be trained for more specialised activities like water retrieving. Golden Retrievers are very intelligent, so to keep them mentally stimulated swimming can be an excellent activity that will give them plenty of stimulating exercise and keep them contented.
Absolutely! Golden Retrievers are known for their friendly and loving nature, making them a great fit for families of all sizes. They are loyal, intelligent and cheerful dogs who are eager to please. Golden Retrievers love to get outside and exercise, and are well-suited for hikes and walks with their families. Despite their general good-nature, Golden Retrievers may require a lot of training and socialization in order to keep them well-behaved in different environments.
Training Golden Retrievers requires a consistent effort to get the best results and a minimum guideline to aim for would be at least 20 minutes per day. However, it is highly dependent on the individual and the tasks being done. For more basic commands, we would recommend training for 15-20 minutes twice a day and for more complex tasks, the duration of training should be kept at a maximum of 30 minutes, with frequent breaks. Also ensure that you go at the pace of the dog and do not push them with too much repetition, as that might just cause boredom and lack of interest.
