Questions & Answers
Golden Retrievers are incredibly intelligent and loyal dogs. They were originally bred to assist hunters in finding, retrieving, and carrying fowl and game. They are also often trained as guide dogs for the visually impaired, drug and explosive detectors and hearing dogs for the deaf. Fun facts about Golden Retrievers include that the color of their coat is actually created by the combination of two pigments; eumelanin and phaeomelanin. Another remarkable trait of the breed is that they can understand more than 200 human commands, making them one of the most trainable breeds.
Golden Retrievers are considered to be a moderate shedding breed. Although they may not be as non-shedding as some other breeds, such as Poodles and Bichons, they do produce far less shedding than other breeds, such as German Shepherds or Newfoundland. They usually require little to no grooming apart from the occasional baths to remove dirt and loose hairs and occasional brushing to keep the coat and skin healthy and prevent matting.
Feeding your Golden Retriever the best quality food you can take the time to shop for is the best way to keep your furry friend in the best of health. Look for high-grade foods that list a high-quality source of animal protein as their first ingredient, such as chicken, turkey, or lamb. It's also important to consider your pet's age, weight, and activity levels when selecting food; puppies or heavier, more active pets may need more calories per day than an adult, sedentary Golden Retriever.
To prepare your home for a new Golden Retriever, one of the first things you should do is create a safe and comfortable place for them to be in your home. Choose a room where they can feel secure, such as the living room, bathroom, or even an area where they will spend most of their time when they are inside the house. Next, make sure that the room you choose is well-lit and has plenty of food and water bowl options. Make sure that you choose chew-proof toys, as well as get plenty of exercise toys to keep them entertained.
The size of your Golden Retriever puppy will depend on a few different factors, such as whether they are a standard or miniature size. Generally, when they are fully grown they typically range from 21-24 inches head to toe and weigh between 55-75 lbs. It's important to remember that all puppies grow at different rates, so your puppy may grow larger or be a bit smaller than the average. You should also keep an eye on the size of their parents when you pick up your puppy; it's likely they will reach a similar size with proper diet and exercise.
Absolutely! Golden Retrievers are well-known for being friendly, active dogs with a boundless energy and enthusiasm for life. They have a natural instinct for a lifetime of playing, wagging their tails, and chasing after anything that moves. They need lots of daily exercise and their long, strong legs can take them on long runs and hikes. Plus, Golden Retrievers are known for their excellent swimming ability, which makes them the perfect companion for water sports or just a leisurely day in the lake. These dogs love to explore the world around them and keep their owners on their feet.
Absolutely! Golden Retrievers are some of the most beloved family dogs out there. They are both incredibly smart and incredibly loyal, which makes them perfect for families. Their gentle and loving nature means that they get along with children wonderfully. Golden Retrievers are also incredibly gentle and have an absolutely amazing personality. Golden Retrievers have plenty of energy and love to run around and play, making them an excellent source of companionship and entertainment. Not only that, but they are also very easy to train and they are relatively low maintenance dogs.
Training your Golden Retriever is a great way to form strong bonds between you both and ensure your Retriever remains happy, healthy and safe. A key part of training a Golden Retriever is consistency. Select one command for a specific behavior and use that command each time. For example, use the same command for sitting every time your Retriever sits. Additionally, use verbal praise, such as telling your Retriever “good job” or “yes!” when they perform the behavior you want them to complete.
