Questions & Answers
Golden Retrievers are highly intelligent, loyal, and athletic dogs that have been around since the late 1800s. They were originally bred to be hunting and gun retrievers, but have since become popular family pets due to their friendliness and gentle nature. Their coat is usually a beautiful, bright golden color (hence their name!), and requires plenty of regular brushing. They usually have big, floppy ears and a tail that curls over their back. On average, they usually weigh between 55-75 lbs, live about 10-12 years, and can be incredibly affectionate with their owners.
No, Golden Retrievers are not hypoallergenic. This breed of dog is an especially popular breed of dog, but unfortunately, not suitable for a home with allergies. Golden Retrievers have a thick, silky coat that is often considered to be quite luxurious, but this same coat also holds onto and sheds dander and hair, which can trigger an allergic reaction in those that suffer from pet allergies or asthma.
It is very important to know what not to feed Golden Retrievers since their dietary needs are unique. The best way to ensure that you are avoiding foods that are potentially dangerous to them is to research the specifics of their diet. Generally, it is recommended to feed Golden Retrievers diets that are high in protein, omega 3 and 6 fatty acids, and vitamins.
Becoming the best puppy parent while waiting for your Golden Retriever requires dedication and thoughtful preparation. Research is key, as it helps to build a foundation of knowledge and understanding about Golden Retrievers that can be used when engaging with the puppy upon its arrival. You should also think about what type of environment you can provide for the puppy. Consider what kind of safe, stimulating space the puppy will have access to. Additionally, creating a schedule for feeding, exercise, play, and bathroom trips can help the puppy get used to its new home life.
Predicting the size of a Golden Retriever puppy can be difficult as puppies can grow at different rates, but generally Golden Retrievers are considered a large breed of dog. As a puppy, a Golden Retriever will usually weigh between 10 and 15 pounds but by the time they are an adult, they can range from 50 to 60 pounds and be up to 23 inches tall. With the right nutrition and exercise, your pup will be able to reach their maximum potential size and weight.
Exercise is important for the health and wellbeing of your Golden Retriever. Generally, an adult Golden Retriever requires 60 minutes to two hours of exercise per day, with at least half of that time being walks. How much of this exercise time you should account for in walks depends on your dog's age, size, and health. For an adult Golden Retriever an hour of walk per day should be sufficient for their exercise needs. Senior Golden Retrievers should be walked a bit less than an hour per day.
Absolutely Golden Retrievers are known for their loving and loyal nature, making them the perfect choice for a family pet. These gentle and intelligent dogs are eager to please, so they are easy to train and love to be involved in family activities. They are also friendly and affectionate and get along well with children, making them great playmates. Not only do they thrive on regular exercise, but they are known for their obedience and are often used in service and therapy roles due to their intelligence, obedience, and gentle nature.
It depends on the individual Golden Retriever as every dog has different needs for training, but most trainers recommend that Golden Retrievers receive at least 15 minutes of active training per day, and an additional 10-15 minutes of playtime or mental stimulation. However, the amount of time devoted to training increases as the dog matures so that they can learn more complex behaviors. To keep the training interesting and engaging, it is usually best to break training sessions apart into shorter amounts of time throughout the day perhaps about 5 minutes per session and mix in different activities.
