Golden Retriever's Facts & Information

Golden Retrievers are well known for their characteristic color, gorgeous feathers, floppy ears, sprightly dispositions, or even the incredible shedding of their coats. This pup is a water lover and will play with anything and everything that comes their way. Originally bred to retrieve live fowl, they are happy to take on several other roles, such as playing fetch endlessly with their owners or even working as service dogs.

The colors of Golden Retriever dogs can vary from white or cream to dark golden. They also have to feather on the backs of their forelegs, the fronts of their necks, the back of their thighs, and the bottom part of their tail. Long floppy ears combine with a playful personality to give them an eternal puppy look.

In addition to that gorgeous golden coat, the golden labrador also has a double coat, which is composed of an outer water-repellent coat and a soft undercoat that helps regulate its body temperature throughout the year regardless of the weather conditions.

Golden retrievers shed their hair like other dogs with double coats, so it is not surprising that they shed. When it comes to brushing Golden Retrievers, it is important to brush them weekly and daily during the shedding months, to prevent blowouts in the fall and spring. Golden Retrievers should not need more than occasional baths if they have been properly brushed.

They are gentle, kind, and trusting. They are great family pets, but not good guard dogs. Playful, active, intelligent, and highly trainable, they're great. Also, they need an owner involved in their lives for them to be happy.

You can train a Golden Retriever in open spaces with plenty of exercises. The best home for a golden retriever is one with a big yard or one in which their owner will take them to off-leash parks often. Golden Retrievers, especially when properly trained, are a great choice for families with small children.

An active dog, the Golden Retriever needs daily exercise. It is imperative that this breed's pet parent is active and prepared to provide the daily exercise (up to an hour) this dog craves. If you don't want to run all that much, you can play fetch with your Golden Retriever.

The active nature of Golden Retrievers makes them ideal for families who have plenty of time to spend with their pets.

A golden retriever has a double coat that sheds in the spring and fall. However, they retain their undercoat year-round in temperate climates. It may be necessary to brush them every day during the shedding season. Other than that, it is the time of year where once a week is sufficient. The Golden Retriever typically sheds a lot of furs, which makes it necessary to bathe your dog now and then so that he can remain clean. Golden Retrievers, like most dogs, need regular nail trimming, and it's recommended to brush their teeth regularly to ensure they have good dental hygiene.

There are certain health problems that Golden Retrievers are prone to like any other breed of dog. Gold retrievers develop hip dysplasia or elbow dysplasia approximately one in five times. There is also an increased risk of subvalvular aortic stenosis (SAS) developing in golden retrievers as compared to some other breeds. Some Golden Retrievers do, however, succumb to cancer (including hemangiosarcoma and osteosarcoma). Aside from any potential health issues, Goldens make wonderful family pets for however long they can be with you. Pet insurance is often purchased for peace of mind.

Taking care of golden retrievers' ears regularly prevents ear infections since they have a distinctive ear shape. Make sure you are using safe products to clean your pet's ears. Ask your veterinarian for advice.
