Questions & Answers
Golden Retrievers are popular beloved pets due to their intelligence, loyalty, and playful spirit. Fun facts about them include their ancestry as a hybrid of a Flat-Coated Retriever and a Tweed Water Spaniel, likely first bred in Scotland in the 18th and 19th centuries. Today, they are the fourth most popular dog breed in America. Additionally, they are commonly used for service and therapy work, as they are especially tolerant of strangers. They have a medium-length coat and come in a variety of shades of gold and cream.
Golden Retrievers may shed lightly throughout the year, but they shed heavily during their seasonal shedding period, usually in the spring or fall. While some owners report a minimal amount of shedding from their Golden Retriever, it's important to keep in mind that this breed is not generally considered non-shedding. Regular brushing with a bristle brush can help to remove excess hair and help to reduce their shedding, in addition to regular vacuuming of furniture and floors to help keep the hair from accumulating.
Golden Retrievers, like other lively breeds, require a balanced diet to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Typically, Golden Retrievers should be fed a combination of dry kibble and wet food formulated specifically for their age, weight and activity level. In addition to their daily servings, Golden Retrievers often enjoy delicious and healthy treats or small portions of raw or cooked meats, fish or cooked egg. Choose treats carefully to avoid adding too many calories. Be sure to select treats that are formulated for large breed dogs as they differ from treats that are made for toy breeds.
Before getting a Golden Retriever, there are some essential items you'll need to acquire, such as a dog bed, leash, collar, food, bowls, grooming tools, training books, safe toys, and crates. Making sure your pup has proper nutrition is important, so look for high-quality dog food that is specifically tailored to the needs of a Golden Retriever's size and age. A well-fitting collar and leash will help keep them safe and secure, and chewable toys are a great way to keep them occupied.
Golden Retrievers are typically considered a medium-sized breed. Adult males stand at about 22-24 inches and weigh 65-75 pounds; adult females tend to be slightly smaller, at 21.5-23 inches and 55-65 pounds. This breed is usually considered to have a solid, muscular build, not excessively stocky or slender and their coats range from light to dark shades of golden. While these are general guidelines for size, there is some variation depending on the lineage of the individual dog.
The amount of walking for your Golden Retriever each day is contingent on its age, size, and other individual factors. Generally, 45 minutes to two hours of walking daily is recommended to ensure your pup is getting enough exercise and staying healthy. It's also important to keep in mind that physical activity should be done in short bursts for puppies and older dogs, as they are more prone to overexertion. If your pup is older, start with 15-minute walks, taking breaks often.
Golden Retrievers are incredibly family friendly dogs and are especially great with children. They have an innate desire to be a part of the family and spend time with their humans, so they are easily trained to love kids. They are known to be gentle and kind companions who are happy to share in the fun times and lend a paw to comfort when necessary. Golden Retrievers also excel in learning obedience commands and some even know how to pick up a toy when asked. All these traits coupled with their inherent loving nature and energy make them ideal pets for families with kids.
The amount of minutes you need to train your Golden Retriever per day will depend on both the individual dog and your goals with them. Generally, puppies should get at least five to ten minutes twice a day for basic commands, and adult dogs should train for at least fifteen minutes a day to keep their skills sharp. You can also increase the intensity or duration of training sessions on a case-by-case basis in order to tackle any particular issues or teach new commands.
