Questions & Answers
Golden Retrievers are excellent companions and very loyal! They are also known for their athleticism. Not only are they good swimmers, they also have a natural affinity for hunting, obedience, and agility activities. And their friendly personalities make them great pets for families. Golden Retrievers are also incredibly intelligent; they can learn a new command in less than five repetitions and obey it the first time it is given 95 percent of the time. Additionally, they have lifespans of up to 12 years and are considered the fourth-most popular dog breed in the United States.
While there is an element of chance, most people with allergies will not have an allergic reaction to Golden Retrievers. That said, it is not completely impossible to develop an allergy to any dog breed. If you think you may be allergic to Golden Retrievers, it is best to consult with a doctor or an allergist. The allergist can recommend allergy tests to determine if you are allergic to Golden Retriever fur or dander. Taking precautions such as brushing the dog regularly and using HEPA air filters in your home can help to minimize the risk of developing an allergy.
Golden Retrievers usually have a diet consisting of dry kibble, wet food, or both. They require a high quality and nutrient dense diet, which should include a balance of protein, carbohydrates, fats, and various vitamins and minerals, such as omega-3 and omega-6. Additionally, fresh fruits and vegetables can add beneficial nutrients, as can raw eggs, fish, and yogurt. If you are unsure which type of food your Golden Retriever should be eating, it is best to consult your veterinarian for advice.
Becoming the best puppy parent while waiting for your Golden Retriever can start even before you bring them home. You should first do research and learn as much as you can about the breed. This will be helpful in understanding their behavior and basic care needs. Additionally, you can purchase any necessities that may be required, such as leashes, food and water bowls, and start crate-training them in advance. Once you get the puppy, you should establish consistent rules, be patient while teaching them, and ensure that they are getting the proper nutrition, socialization, and exercise.
Golden Retrievers are often referred to as medium to large-sized dogs depending on their age, gender, height and weight. Although, these dogs look and feel quite large, they are not considered to be a small dog breed. Typically, a full-grown Golden Retriever stands anywhere between 21.5 to 24 inches and can weigh between 55 to 75 pounds. For comparison, a small to medium dog breed like a Boston Terrier generally stands between 12 to 17 inches tall and weighs 10 to 25 pounds. So, no, Golden Retrievers are not considered to be small dogs.
Absolutely! Taking your Golden Retriever running is not only a great way to bond with your pup, but it's also a great form of exercise. Before you begin, however, there are a few things to consider. Be cognizant of the weather, as extreme cold or hot temperatures can be dangerous. Also, bring a lot of water for your pup and make sure to hydrate frequently. Lastly, make sure that your pup's feet and joints are protected (at least one inch cushioning) with proper footwear and you should be good to go! Have fun!
Absolutely! Golden Retrievers are known to be excellent family companions and are known for their intelligence, loyalty and good temperaments. They will quickly become the light of any family as they are naturally affectionate and love being around people. Golden Retrievers tend to get along great with kids and will be devoted to their families for years and years. They're also great playmates with lots of energy, enjoying activities like retrieving and swimming, and are even known to be patient and tolerant with the little ones.
Training a Golden Retriever is rewarding for both you and your dog since it helps your pup to learn good habits and to become an obedient companion. To start, introduce basic commands such as sit and stay, and use positive reinforcement such as treats, love, and attention as rewards when your pup listens and obeys. Consistency is key when it comes to training as your pup needs to understand that the same behavior is expected each time a particular command is given. To help maintain consistency, practice similar commands daily and use similar tones and tones of voice.
