Questions & Answers
Golden Retrievers are considered to be gentle and easy to train and were originally bred for hunting. They are the fourth most popular breed in the US according to the American Kennel Club. Even though they were bred as a working dog, Golden Retrievers have the reputation of being good family companions. In 2018, these pooches ranked number three on the list of top family friendly dog breeds in the US. Their coats come in various shades of gold, but they may also have white, cream, or red highlights.
The Golden Retriever coat is typically a thick, water-resistant double coat. The outer coat is straight and flat, while the undercoat is soft and fluffy. The characteristic color is a golden-red to cream, but they also come in solid black, black and white, or chocolate, plus combinations of other colors. Grooming is an important part of keeping Golden Retrievers looking their best. Regular brushing will help prevent mats and tangles, while trimming the fur around the legs, face, and other places can help keep your pup looking neat and tidy.
Golden Retrievers are very energetic breeds, so it's important to choose a balanced diet to keep your pup full of energy. We recommend a diet with high-quality dog food and wet food that is high in protein and contains fatty acids found naturally in fish oils, which are essential for your furry friend's coat and joint health. Additionally, occasional treats such as fruits and vegetables (which are great for a healthy diet!) can be given.
Golden Retrievers have specific requirements with regards to their health and wellbeing that should be considered before getting one. They need an owner who is committed to regular exercise and grooming to maintain their physical and mental health. They require mental stimulation activities, such as playtime, agility, and fetch, to keep their mind sharp. Additionally, Golden Retrievers need a proper balanced diet for nutritional needs throughout their life. Regular vet visits are a must, and more frequent visits may be necessary as they age, to ensure they stay healthy.
Golden Retrievers are large dogs, often weighing between 55 and 75 pounds when fully grown. They are considered to be among the largest of the retriever breeds, and they typically stand around 22-24 inches tall. Even though they may not be considered "huge," they are still larger than other breeds and can therefore be considered "big" when seen alongside smaller breeds. Golden Retrievers are known as loyal, friendly and exceedingly intelligent dogs, qualities that are complemented by their large size.
Absolutely! Golden Retrievers are known for their energy, endurance and willingness to please, making them excellent running companions. Before taking your pup out for a run, make sure they are in good physical health. Also, it is important to consider the temperature and time of day during summer months. Check with your veterinarian to ensure the amount of running you plan to do is at the right level for your pup. When running with your Golden Retriever, provide frequent breaks, especially in hot weather, and keep them on a leash or in a fenced area during the run.
Absolutely! Golden Retrievers are friendly, outgoing, and intelligent, making them great family dogs that get along very well with children. These pups are known to be calmer and more relaxed than some other more high-energy breeds, making them more suitable for households with kids. Not only are they sociable, but extremely loyal and eager to please, making them eager to interact with and protect their human family members. As long as proper socialization and obedience training starts early, children and Golden Retrievers can create strong, healthy relationships.
Training your Golden Retriever starts with providing them with consistency and clear commands. Treats, positive reinforcement, and lots of patience can be beneficial when teaching an exercise. To get your pup successfully trained, begin with basic commands like "sit," "stay," and "come." Each command should start with a verbal cue followed by using an appropriate hand signal. Once your pup has mastered a command, work to increase its duration and distance. As they become more familiar with the commands, gradually reduce treats as a reward.
