Questions & Answers
Golden Retrievers are among the most popular breeds in the United States. They are known for their outgoing, friendly and obedient temperament, and most notably for their remarkable intelligence. Golden Retrievers were once bred to retrieve waterfowl for hunters and are excellent swimmers, which has earned them the nickname of "the retriever of the water". Fun fact: despite the popular belief that Golden Retrievers shed year-round, they actually shed seasonally twice a year. Another interesting fact about this breed is that they were first officially recognized by the American Kennel Club in 1925.
Golden Retrievers are considered to be moderate shedders and require frequent brushing to stay healthy and look their best. Some owners report that this breed of dog will shed less than other breeds, but no breed of dog is completely ‘non-shedding’. Additionally, Golden Retrievers have a tendency to become wet, which can lead to additional fur loss. That being said, regular grooming and brushing can help to minimize the amount of dog hair present.
Golden Retrievers are among the most popular breeds of dogs, and they have an appetite to match their charming personalities. Generally, Golden Retrievers should be fed a high-quality, age-appropriate diet for their size and specific breed. A good rule of thumb is to feed an adult Golden Retriever 2-3 cups of a high-quality dry kibble, two times a day, depending on their activity level. This should always be supplemented with plenty of fresh water and a few treats occasionally as a reward.
Becoming the best puppy parent while waiting for your Golden Retriever can be achieved through consistent and proactive preparation. One way to do this is by taking advantage of puppy classes that offer instruction on puppy socialization and basic obedience. Additionally, reading up on puppy care, nutrition and potty training can help equip you with the necessary knowledge you need to be a successful pup parent. Stocking up on the necessary supplies, like toys, bedding, leash and collar, food, treats, and a brush can also save time and money when you finally get your new bundle of joy.
The size of a Golden Retriever can vary from one dog to the next, and can range from 20 to 24 inches at the shoulder. Depending upon their individual height and weight, Golden Retrievers usually weigh between 55 and 75 pounds. Although they have a wide range of height and weight, their proportions remain consistent, typically with their body length slightly longer than their height. Additionally, females tend to be slightly smaller than their male counterparts. As they tend to have longer legs and carry their coats slightly differently, male Golden Retrievers may appear a bit larger than female ones.
How much exercise your Golden Retriever needs on a daily basis really depends on several factors, such as the dog's age, size and general health. For example, younger, smaller and generally healthier Goldens may require less exercise than larger, older dogs or those with medical conditions. However, as a general rule of thumb, an adult Golden Retriever should ideally get at least 45 minutes of exercise a day, divided into two or three brisk walks, outdoor play sessions or other activities. Exercise sessions should include plenty of variety and be tailored to your dog's individual needs.
Absolutely! Golden Retrievers are renowned for being an exceptionally friendly, loyal, and loving breed that loves to be around children and makes the perfect companion when it comes to playing, cuddling, and spending time with the family. They often view kids as part of their pack, and are eager to please and protect them. This breed has a tendency to be gentle and patient with kids, which makes them ideal for families.
Training a Golden Retriever requires consistency, patience, and lots of positive reinforcement. Start with basic commands like "sit," "come," and "down." Make sure that you always praise your pup by giving them treats or verbal rewards when they complete the command properly. When teaching commands, work in an area that is not too distracting and keep the sessions short and sweet. As with any kind of training, it is also important to be aware of your pup's social and environmental triggers or limitations and adjust your training accordingly.
