Questions & Answers
Golden Retrievers are a breed of mediumto large-sized gun dogs that have a sturdy and muscular body. Bred for hunting and retrieving game in the mid and late 19th century, they typically have beautiful, thick coats in shades of brown, black, golden, and cream. They make wonderful family pets and are versatile when it comes to being a companion dog, being a well-trained service dog, or even becoming a service animal. They are known for their loving temperaments, intelligence, and loyalty and are highly adaptable to various environments and living situations.
The beautiful Golden Retriever coat is typically long, dense, and straight with feathers on the legs, belly, and chest. Although it can come in shades of gold, cream, and red, the American Kennel Club standard lists only two colors light golden and dark golden. Golden Retrievers usually have very thick double coats that protect them from the weather and keep them warm. The outer coat is normally water-resistant and has a minor wave while the soft, furry inner coat retains body heat.
Yes, Golden Retrievers do have special dietary needs. It is important to provide them with a diet that provides complete nourishment, as their physical build requires an increased amount of proteins and fats, as well as vitamins, minerals and other nutrients. Additionally, they typically also need higher levels of calcium for their bones. Contact your veterinarian for specific dietary advice for your pup. But typically, a high-quality dry dog food should meet your Golden Retriever's nutritional needs. You may also want to supplement with fresh fruits and vegetables for their added nutritional benefits.
Preparing for a new Golden Retriever in your home is an exciting journey! Before bringing your pup home, it is essential to do some research to understand the breed, its temperament, and special needs.

Be sure to also stock up on a high-quality food, treats, and the appropriate grooming supplies.
The size of your Golden Retriever puppy largely depends on the genetics within the breed of the parents. A male can typically be between 22 to 24 inches tall and weigh anywhere between 55-75 pounds when fully grown. Whereas, a female can be between 20-22 inches and weighing between 35-55 pounds when grown. As a general rule of thumb, the size of the mother's breed will likely be the size that the puppy will reach when grown. It is important to check with the breeder of the puppy for more specific information about the puppy's full potential size.
