Golden Retrievers are pretty much the definition of "man's best friend." They’re known for their gentle, friendly, and outgoing personalities, which is why they’re such popular family dogs. They absolutely adore being around people—whether it’s snuggling on the couch, playing fetch in the yard, or simply following you from room to room (yes, they’ll be your shadow!).
Goldens are incredibly patient, making them great with kids, and they tend to get along wonderfully with other pets too. They’re smart and eager to please, which makes them a joy to train—though sometimes their goofy, playful side might distract them (puppies, right?).
At their core, Golden Retrievers are loving, loyal, and happiest when they’re with their people. If you’re looking for a dog that will greet you with a wagging tail and endless affection every single day, a Golden Retriever is the perfect fit.
You never want to change your puppies food quickly. Changing their food quickly will lead to upset stomachs and plenty of messes for you to clean up.
The most effective way to switch their food is by slowly mixing the two starting with only a small amount of the new food. Over the course of several days increase the amount of new, while decreasing the old until you are only feeding the new brand of food.
Golden Retrievers do shed. However, with the right grooming accessories you can keep it under control.
The first and most useful brush accessory is the Furminator. This unique brush removes undercoat using very fine teeth. Clean up is incredible easy!
Generally speaking, Goldens require a fair amount of exercise. They love to run, walk, hike, and swim. However, with that said, we firmly believe that a Golden, as a member of your family, is what you want it to be. If your day consists of a long hike or run, your Golden will be with you every step of the way. If the next day is spent being a couch potato, your Golden will be right there with you, usually taking up more space than you like.
A Golden wants to please, so be it a run or a lazy couch day; your Golden is happy with either option. It's essential to keep a good balance of up and down time.
