Questions & Answers
Golden Retrievers are incredibly loyal, humorous, intelligent and an all-around great companion. They have an amusing trait of playing hide and seek, and have been known to bury their treats under pillows or in the garden. Golden Retrievers can become certified therapy dogs, used to provide comfort to people in a variety of settings. They have excellent understanding of human facial expressions and can be taught an extensive array of commands and tricks.
No, Golden Retrievers are not hypoallergenic. Hypoallergenic animals are those that produce less dander, a common allergen, than other breeds of dogs. This does not mean that Golden Retrievers don't produce any dander, rather that they produce more than other breeds. If someone in the home has allergies, another breed of dog may be a better choice. However, Golden Retrievers can still make great family pets for those with mild allergies, especially if proper grooming and cleaning habits are observed.
Golden Retrievers are highly active dogs and require a well-balanced diet to stay healthy. You'll want to provide a high-quality diet that is suitable for large breeds and filled with protein, fiber, healthy fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals. You should also look for dog food that is specially formulated for the life stage of your dog. Dry kibble is recommended as the main diet for Golden Retrievers, but adding or mixing in wet food and raw food can provide additional nutrition and flavor.
To get your home ready for a new Golden Retriever, you should first educate yourself about the breed as well as proper canine care. This will help ensure your pup's health and safety as well as a good life for you both. Next, you should stock up on supplies such as food, treats, a collar and leash, and toys. You can also invest in a few pet proof items like a comfortable bed and crate, puppy proof gates, and an area for elimination. You should also consider training classes for your new pup, as early socialization will be extremely important.
Absolutely! Golden Retrievers are mediumto large-sized dogs, typically weighing 55-75 pounds and standing 20-24 inches tall. Therefore, they can certainly be considered big dogs, when compared to smaller breeds such as Shih Tzus and Chihuahuas. Golden Retrievers also have deep, broad chests that taper towards their waists and their coats are generally thick and of medium-length, so these majestic creatures appear healthy and well-built. Their famously luxurious and gentle disposition should not at all be mistaken for fragility.
Absolutely! Golden Retrivers are incredibly active dogs who love nothing more than to be outside doing something, whether it be playing, running, chasing or just going on a leisurely stroll. As an intelligent, loving breed, they have a tendency to be quite active and need exercise daily to stay physically and mentally healthy. As great family pets, their affectionate nature makes them one of the most popular breeds and they are always looking for new things to do and explore while getting plenty of exercise.
Golden Retrievers are renowned for being cheerful, loyal, and gentle, making them ideal family dogs. They're historically notable for being easy to train and for getting along with children, making them an attractive choice for busy households. Additionally, they tend to have a low-level of fitness needs, meaning they don't need a lot of outdoor activities to be happy and healthy—though they will appreciate the occasional walk. They also have a natural instinct for guarding and protecting their family, which can provide a sense of security for owners.
Training Golden Retrievers can be a rewarding experience. The breed is known for its intelligence and eagerness to please their owners; however, they can also be independent thinkers. Training Golden Retrievers will take a commitment of time and patience, but by providing consistent, positive reinforcement in the form of treats and praise, you should soon find yourself with a well-behaved pup. While training will take work, Golden Retrievers are incredibly trainable and can be taught quite a few tricks.
