Questions & Answers
A Golden Retriever is a breed of medium-sized, strongly-built dog that was first recognized as an official breed in Scotland in the late 19th century. Intelligent, friendly and devoted, these dogs are a popular choice among families as a loyal and playful pet. Their luxuriously long, soft, water-resistant coat can range in color from light, golden shades to more brownish-golden hues. They have balanced, powerful bodies and a kindly, alert expression that make them attractive family pets.
While there is no such thing as a 100% hypoallergenic breed, Golden Retrievers are not typically one of the breeds considered to be less likely to provoke an allergic reaction. While breeders work diligently to breed Goldens that produce less dander, even a well-bred Golden Retriever is still likely to elicit an allergic reaction in some people. However, this does not mean that it is impossible for someone with allergies to own a Golden Retriever.
Yes, Golden Retrievers have some special dietary needs due to their large size. Golden Retrievers are considered large dogs, which means they need a balanced diet to ensure optimal growth and development. Higher-quality foods will deliver more complete nutrition than low-grade foods. Additionally, Golden Retrievers need more fat than many other breeds, which is why finding a quality food with appropriate fat content (10-15%) is very important. They also need additional supplements such as glucosamine, chondroitin, and omega fatty acids to help support their joints and bones.
Before you bring a Golden Retriever into your home, it's important to ensure you're prepared for the responsibility. First, consider your lifestyle and amount of free time. Golden Retrievers need lots of exercise and love, so make sure you have adequate time and energy to meet their needs. Get your home ready by purchasing all essential pet items, such as a dog bed, food and water bowls, dog food and treats, and an ID tag. Obedience training is a must; enroll your pup in a class or consider hiring a professional.
Golden Retrievers come in a variety of sizes, ranging from the standard size, which typically ranges from 55 75 pounds and stands at 22 24 inches tall at the withers, to the miniature size which usually weigh between 25 35 pounds and is usually between 15 17 inches tall. There is also a medium-sized Golden Retriever which can be any size between the standard and the miniature sizes. The puppy's size at adulthood is dependent upon the dog’s genes as well as its diet and exercise regimen.
Every Golden Retriever is unique and therefore the recommended amount of daily exercise will vary. As a general guideline, 30-60 minutes of walking a day is a great way to help your Golden Retriever stay healthy and happy. Early morning and evening are the best times to go for a walk, allowing your pet to get some much-needed exercise and fresh air. It is also important to factor in some brisk running during walks — a few minutes here and there to get their heart rate up.
Golden Retrievers are excellent with children and are a wonderful family pet choice. Known to bond quickly with kids, they are loyal and affectionate companions, eager to participate in family activities. They have plenty of energy, but with their gentle and easy going nature they can be easily trained and make great playmates. Golden Retrievers are also very patient and tolerant, so they aren’t easily provoked and understand when kids can be too rambunctious. As caring and devoted family dogs, they are very nurturing and are content being around kids while they play, learn, and explore.
Training any breed of dog can be challenging, however, Golden Retriever's typically rank at the top of the intelligent breeds, so while training may not necessarily be easy, they are known to be more responsive to commands and eager to please. With consistent structure and positive reinforcement, such as verbal praise, petting, and treats, training a Golden Retriever is quite possible. Although Golden Retrievers have a tendency to be friendly and obedient, training a dog of any size and breed does require patience, love and commitment from the owner.
