Questions & Answers
Golden Retrievers are truly remarkable creatures. Their intelligence, gentle nature, and loyalty make them an ideal pet for families. But, what makes them even more special is the centuries of history behind an incredible breed. For hundreds of years Golden Retrievers have served as hunting companions for kings and shooters alike. They've worked alongside fire and police departments to ensure resident safety. It's even been said that German shepherds were bred with Golden Retrievers to create the unique temperaments used in guide and service animals.
No, Golden Retrievers are not non-shedding dogs. Despite their reputation as 'hypoallergenic' or non-shedding, they do shed a good amount of fur. That said, with consistent daily brushing and proper nutrition, you can help keep the amount of shedding down to a manageable level. While they are not typically classified as low-shedding breeds, such as Xolos and Poodles, they can produce a reasonable amount of fur.
Golden Retrievers are known for their love of food, but what do they eat? Generally speaking, Golden Retrievers thrive on a diet that includes high-quality proteins and fatty acids to support their active lifestyle. Commercial dog food should be balanced with fresh meat, fruits, and vegetables, and whole grains like oats, brown rice, and barley can also be added for extra nutrition. Proper nutrition is important for Golden Retrievers and it is important to follow feeding guidelines to help reduce the risk of obesity. Plus, regular treats are an important reward for their obedience training.
To best prepare your home for your upcoming new Golden Retriever, create an area of your house dedicated to the pup. Filled with toys, bedding, food, water, and other items, this area will become the pup's home away from home. To ensure a secure environment for your pup, cover any sharp objects or dangerous items. Check for skirting, wires, small objects, and other items they may chew.
Golden Retrievers come in a variety of sizes ranging from small to large. Small Golden Retrievers usually weight between 20-45 pounds while the large ones are usually between 45-90 pounds. Their size depends on gender and age, with males generally being larger and younger animals typically smaller than more mature animals. Furthermore, other factors such as diet and exercise can influence their size as well. While there are ranges to go by, Golden Retriever sizes can vary from one individual to the next and also within a same litter due to their variable genetics.
Golden Retrievers require a moderate amount of exercise in order to stay healthy and happy. Ideally, all dogs need at least 30 minutes of daily activity to stay in shape. A Golden Retriever, as an active, athletic breed, typically needs even more than that 1-2 hour of exercise a day. This could be a combination of light jogging, playing fetch, taking long walks, or participating in additional activities such as agility training or swimming.
Golden Retrievers have a wonderful repuation for being remarkably gentle and patient, especially with young children. They are typically loyal and devoted friends to children of all ages, thanks to their friendly and amicable nature. They are known to be particularly gentle when taking food from a child's hand and often make great playmates for kids. They're lively and full of energy, but careful to not knock over a child because the breed will usually exercise a quiet demeanor when children are in close vicinity.
Training a Golden Retriever is no easy task, but it is certainly possible for even inexperienced dog owners. Depending on the individual dog, some may require longer and more frequent training sessions than others. Additionally, a Golden Retriever will benefit from lots of positive reinforcement and consistency when being trained. Golden Retrievers are extremely intelligent, so they typically respond well to treats, praise, and clicker training. With patience and dedication from an owner, one can create a motivated and obedient Golden Retriever.
