Questions & Answers
Golden Retrievers are intelligent and loyal dogs. They are also known for their show-stopping, bright golden coat! Originally bred as hunting dogs to help retrieve prey, they have been used as service animals, search-and-rescue dogs, and more. They love to play fetch and can learn quite a few tricks with some patience and persistence. Affectionately referred to as 'Glorious Goldens,' they have an excellent sense of smell and are avid swimmers.
Golden Retrievers are not hypoallergenic breeds of dogs. While it is true that they produce very low amounts of shedding compared to other breeds, they do still produce an allergen called Can F1 which can affect those with allergies. It is also important to remember that any pet can produce a reaction in someone who is allergic, so it is important to consider how one may be affected before bringing a Golden Retriever into the home. Allergy testing is a good idea if considering welcoming this breed into the home.
Golden Retrievers are active breeds that need high-quality food to help support their daily activities. Your Golden Retriever should be fed a diet of real meat and fish, as well as whole grains, fresh fruits, and vegetables. You can also look for a brand of food intended for your breed of dog or your particular life stage. It's important to look for an AAFCO approved food that is formulated to meet your pet's particular nutritional needs. You should also supplement with calcium and vitamin D in a natural form.
Becoming the best puppy parent before you bring home your Golden Retriever starts with doing as much research and preparation as possible. Start by learning all about the breed, so that you can anticipate any needs they may have in their new home. Get familiar with common puppy-related health issues and make sure you are clear with your veterinarian about what routine and preventive care you will need to provide. Create an inviting and safe environment that meets all of your pup’s needs. Providing proper socialization and training is an important part of bringing your puppy home.
Golden Retrievers are a medium-sized breed, generally around 21 to 24 inches tall and 55 to 75 pounds when fully grown. This size can vary, though, due to the Golden Retriever's unique genetic makeup, which ranges from the larger English version to the smaller American version. Typically, males get slightly bigger and heavier than females, or vice versa. Either way, these active, friendly dogs make great family pets and are very loyal and intelligent companions.
Walking your Golden Retriever is an important part of keeping them healthy and happy. An ideal amount of exercise is at least 30 minutes per day, however, depending on the age, health, size and energy level of your dog, it may need more. Exercise can help reduce their anxiety and destructive behavior. Exercise should be tailored to your pup, gradually increasing level of difficulty as your Golden Retriever gets stronger. If your dog appears to be tiring out, be sure to slow down and offer lots of breaks.
Golden Retrievers are known for being one of the most popular family-friendly breeds due to their loving and gentle nature. They are known for being great with children and make excellent playmates. They are intelligent, loyal, and friendly, so they are easy to train and will bond quickly with their family. Not only are Golden Retrievers great with children, but they are also tolerant and gentle and will make great playmates. With their tolerance and gentleness, they can even tolerate a bit of rough-housing without feeling threatened or scared.
Training any dog is not necessarily easy, but with the right dedication and patience, a Golden Retriever can be a well-behaved and obedient pup. These intelligent, gentle, and eager to please dogs are very trainable, so long as you offer consistent rewards and positive reinforcement. The breed is especially eager to please their owners and respond well to treats and play. With patience and consistency, a Golden Retriever can be a great addition to the family and a delightful and loving pet.
