Questions & Answers
Golden Retrievers are a wonderful breed of dog, appreciated for their intelligence, loyal personality, and outgoing nature. They have an enjoyable temperament, and can make fantastic family and companion pets. They make loving and devoted companions, but require ample exercise and stimulation to remain happy and healthy. They are active dogs with an average life span of 10-12 years and a medium-large size, so having a backyard or other suitable space for them is ideal.
No, Golden Retrievers are not hypoallergenic. Like other dog breeds, Golden Retrievers may produce dander that could cause an allergic reaction in some people. Dander is an allergen present in saliva, skin, and fur, and is composed of dead skin flakes, or cells. While some people, especially those with mild allergies, can live with a Golden Retriever without reactions, someone with more severe allergies will likely have problems.
Golden Retrievers love to eat a nutritious, balanced diet that is designed to keep them healthy and active. When determining which food to feed your pup, look for premium-quality options that contain quality ingredients such as poultry, fish, whole grains, vegetables, and fruits. Be sure to also introduce flavorful, new snacks and treats in moderation. Always consider your pup's individual needs when crafting a nutrition plan for them, making sure to factor in their activity level, age, breed, and medical or health concerns.
Before getting a Golden Retriever, make sure you purchase all the essentials such as a leash, collar, food and water dishes, dog bed, toys, and treats. You should also look into professional grooming services, heartworm prevention, and flea and tick protection. Additionally, it is important to have a first aid kit specifically for dogs and to research the closest veterinarians to make sure your pup is kept healthy and happy. Enrolling your Golden Retriever in obedience classes and a doggy social group can help them adjust to their new environment.
Golden Retriever puppies will vary in size depending on many factors, such as parental size, diet, and activity level. Generally speaking, males are bigger than females, reaching up to 23-24 inches tall at the shoulder and between 65-75 pounds. Females typically reach 21-22 inches tall at the shoulder and 55-70 pounds. However, some larger males may reach up to 27 inches tall and 8-90 pounds.
Golden Retrievers typically need moderate levels of physical activity; however, this can vary depending on the age and breed. The amount of exercise will also depend on the individual Retriever's genetics and physical condition. A healthy adult Golden Retriever should have around 45 minutes to an hour of physical activity every day, this could include going for walks, jogging, swimming or playing catch. Puppies need more exercise and active playtime, and should be taken on multiple daily walks to ensure they are getting enough mental stimulation.
Yes, Golden Retrievers are indeed known to be excellent with children, making them ideal family dogs. Golden Retrievers have an outgoing, friendly, and patient nature and they tend to love people of all ages, especially kids. They possess a strong desire to please, combined with irresistibly cute looks--all of which appeal to children. Furthermore, their intelligence and obedience make them the perfect canine companion for training kids. They offer unconditional love and comfort, making them great playmates and babysitters.
Training your Golden Retriever requires a comprehensive and consistent approach in order to be successful. Begin with introducing basic commands such as “sit” and “stay” in an environment free of distractions. Start with short sessions that are only one to two minutes in duration, rewarding your dog with treats or verbal praise for correctly responding. As your dog progresses, you can then increase the duration of the session, as well as introduce minor distractions to ensure your dog is responding to commands reliably.
