Questions & Answers
Golden Retrievers are renowned for their sweet temperaments and loyalty, making them a popular family pet. They are generally friendly to everyone, including children, adults and strangers. Golden Retrievers require daily exercise and mental stimulation to ward off boredom. This intelligent breed can excel in sports such as agility and obedience, as well as being useful as working dogs, such as in search and rescue. Grooming needs should be taken into account as they have a thick double coat which comes with a variety of colours, including cream, gold and red.
Golden Retrievers are not hypoallergenic breeds of dog. All dogs produce proteins that can trigger allergies in people, otherwise known as allergens. While most people are able to reduce or avoid allergic reactions by regular grooming and vacuuming, Golden Retrievers may still cause reactions due to the amount of shedding they do. Regularly bathing and brushing your Golden Retriever can help reduce the amount of allergens, so that it may be a good breed for those with mild allergies.
Golden Retrievers are intelligent, active, and playful dogs, so they should be fed a diet of high-quality food that provides the right balance of nutrients. An appropriate diet consists of protein, carbohydrates, healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals. High-quality dry kibble is recommended because it offers an ideal combination of the essentials. Canned food is also a good option, but it must be free of unnecessary sauces and additives. On occasion, cooked meat, fish, or eggs can be served to provide extra protein.
Before you bring your new Golden Retriever home, it's important to prepare for the arrival. You'll want to make sure the house is puppy proofed and that all potentially dangerous items are out of reach. Make sure your pup's food, treats and toys are all ready to go, too. Additionally, find a good vet in your area, research potential training techniques, and get advice from current or past Golden Retriever owners when possible. Establishing a routine from day one will help your furry friend get used to the new environment and family.
The size of your Golden Retriever puppy will vary depending on a few different factors and will continue to change as your pup grows. Generally, female Golden Retrievers are smaller than males and puppies may appear larger if they come from larger parent dogs. The breed standard for a fully grown Golden Retriever is 21 to 24 inches at the shoulder for a male and slightly smaller for a female. Weight can range from 55 to 75 pounds or more for a full-grown dog. You may find your pup is larger or smaller than the breed standard depending on the individual parents and genetics.
