Questions & Answers
Golden Retrievers are best known for being an incredibly loyal and friendly breed, and are classified as a medium-sized sporting dog. They are considered part of the AKC or American Kennel Club's Sporting Group of dogs and are quite affectionate. Golden Retrievers have an eager and delightful disposition. They are intelligent and gentle, making them ideal family companions. Their kind and outgoing personalities and cheerful behavior make them popular around the world. In addition, this breed is very trainable and adaptable, making them a great pet for many owners.
Golden Retrievers are actually a breed that does shed its coat quite a bit. While you can take extra steps to keep the shedding to a minimum such as proper grooming, regular brushing, and a healthy diet, shedding is still to be expected. Fortunately, the healthy, double layer coats of Golden Retrievers help keep most of the shedding contained and their fur does not mat and tangle like other breeds of dogs.
Golden Retrievers need to be fed a healthy balance of food that is tailored to their age, weight, and activity level. However, there are certain foods to which your pup could have an adverse reaction, and even some that are downright dangerous if ingested. To ensure that your Golden Retriever stays safe and healthy, make sure that you do not feed them any human foods that are high in fat or sugar, such as bacon, candy, chips, chocolate, or sugary drinks.
Before welcoming your new Golden Retriever, it's important to prepare properly. Begin by doing your research so that you are aware of how to provide the best care for your pup. Consider what kind of food you will offer, and purchase the appropriate amount in advance as well as dishes for their food and water. Ensure that your home is pet-proofed; remove any objects which may pose a danger to your pup. Obtain professionally recommended supplies, like chew toys, leashes, and collars.
Golden Retrievers typically weigh 55 to 75 pounds when fully mature and stand 23 to 24 inches in height. Males are usually larger than females. Though size does vary slightly, generally, the breed is of medium size. While they are usually larger than many other breeds, they don't require as much room as some of the bigger breeds. Golden Retrievers have an energetic, lovable nature, as well as a thick, water-repellant double coat both of which can make them appear much larger than they really are.
It is recommended that Golden Retrievers get a minimum of 30 minutes of exercise every day. This can be in the form of walking, running, or playing games. A good rule of thumb is to give your dog at least 10-15 minutes of activity for each of his daily meals. However, some days he may need more.
Yes, Golden Retrievers often do get along well with children. They are usually obedient, loyal, and affectionate towards their owners, and this usually extends to children. Many times, Golden Retrievers can become wonderful playmates and friends for children. With proper training and socialization, they can be taught to be gentle yet playful and make great additions to homes with children.
Yes, Golden Retrievers are incredibly smart. Their intelligence makes them eager to please their owners and learn basic commands, and they have the capacity to think, learn, and problem solve. Depending on training, they may even be able to perform complex tasks during activities such as agility, detection, and field work. Not only do they learn new things quickly, but Golden Retrievers are also incredibly loyal to their owners, and can even maintain a special bond with each individual they meet.
