Questions & Answers
Golden Retrievers are one of the most beloved breeds of dogs, known for their friendliness, loyalty and intelligence. One of the most fascinating things about them is that they are incredibly trainable. They are often used as service dogs because of their intelligence and loyalty and can perform amazing tasks ranging from search and rescue to protecting their owners. They are also extremely adaptable and make great family pets. Golden Retrievers are instinctively protective of their family members and with proper obedience training they make excellent guard dogs.
Golden Retrievers are not hypoallergenic breeds. Hypoallergenic simply refers to a breed of dog that has characteristics that minimize the effects of allergens in those with allergies. Golden Retrievers have a dense coat which can contain allergens and when they shed, more allergens can be released into the environment. It is not that Golden Retrievers can't be good for people with allergies, rather that they still can contribute to adverse reactions.
Golden Retrievers are generally tolerant of a wide variety of foods, however there are some food items that should be avoided. In general, it's best to avoid anything that is high in sugar or fat, and also things like grapes, raisins, onions, and garlic as these can be potentially poisonous and could result in serious health problems. Additionally, do not feed your Golden Retriever large bones as these could be a choking hazard or may splinter and cause tissue damage. A good rule of thumb is to stick to commercially prepared dog foods that are designed specifically for the breed.
To become the best puppy parent while waiting for your Golden Retriever, it's important to stay up-to-date on the latest puppy care advice. Read up on the best ways to feed, groom, and train puppies. Educate yourself on the different breed-specific needs and characteristics of Golden Retrievers, and learn how to create a safe and comfortable environment for your future pup. Take the time to read about different health concerns and provide yourself with the necessary tools such as a crate, toys, beds, and other supplies so you are ready when you finally bring your puppy home.
No, Golden Retrievers are not considered small dogs. Golden Retrievers are considered medium-sized dogs, typically weighing 55-75 pounds and standing 21-24 inches tall at the shoulder. While there are smaller variants of Golden Retrievers, the American Kennel Club's standard size for the breed is within the medium-size range. In comparison to large breed dogs, Golden Retrievers are not particularly small; many large and giant breeds can weigh around the same as or even more than a Golden Retriever.
Absolutely! Taking your Golden Retriever running can provide you both with a great opportunity to get some exercise and have some fun. However, before you start running with your dog, it's important to ensure they're fit enough to run and that their breed is suitable. Golden Retrievers are generally a healthy, active breed, so you should usually be able to take them jogging. Start off slowly and make sure you have adequate ventilation and water breaks. Additionally, make sure that you never exercise your Dog too hard, especially in warm or humid conditions.
Absolutely! Golden Retrievers are known for being incredibly sweet and gentle despite their larger size. Highly intelligent, patient and loyal, these dogs make great companions and are excellent with children of all ages. They are eager to please their owners and love to play, making them a perfect pet for kids. As an added bonus, Golden Retrievers are also easy to train and can make great service animals, giving kids of all abilities the chance to have an amazing furry friend.
Training your Golden Retriever should be done as soon as you welcome the pup into your home. The most important aspect is consistency as your pup needs to learn that particular commands will always lead to a certain rewarding action. It is also important to use positive reinforcement and be sure to reward your pup with treats or some kind of enthusiasm when they get a command correct. You will want to start off with basic commands, like 'Sit' and 'Stay', and progress from there. Be sure to add some variation as your pup may become bored if you simply keep repeating the same exercise.
