The Golden Retriever
Category: PetsDog Breed: Golden Retriever
In a dog’s world, Golden Retrievers are simply the fatal attraction.
They are a preferred dog breed, making great pets, hunting dogs,
obedience competitors, show dogs, and even a combination of all these
traits. No matter what your intent may be to own a Golden Retriever,
you’ll have an excellent dog that will live up to it’s potential and
then some.
Golden Retrievers are calm, well mannered, and extremely
affectionate. They are easy to train as well, very intelligent, and
great for those who need a companion. Golden’s are also loyal to their
owners, lovable, and great with children of all ages. They also make
great watchdogs as well, as they will bark loud and let you know when a
stranger is near.
Like other dogs, Golden Retrievers will shed their hair throughout
the year and more in the spring - no matter how many times you brush
them a day. They also like to be in and near the water, similar to
Labs. If you have any type of water on or near your property, your
Golden Retriever will be in it, and tend to be either wet or muddy
quite a bit - which can tend to get frustrating.
If you are always on the go or never at home, you shouldn’t get a
Golden Retriever. If you prefer cats over dogs, you should look into
another breed. Golden Retrievers crave attention and admiration, and
normally don’t do too well if you leave them at home by themselves for
long periods of time. Golden’s need attention, and desire to be around
you at all times. If you spend a lot of time at home on the other hand,
or have kids, a Golden Retriever will be a perfect addition to your
family.
A lot of people out there prefer to get a puppy and raise it
themselves. This way, the puppy will grow up with the skills they have
taught him. This is a great idea and very rewarding, although it can
consume a lot of your time and tend to be very frustrating at times.
Those who don’t have a lot of time to spare or tend to get easily
frustrated, shouldn’t get a puppy. Instead, they should look towards
an older Golden Retriever who has already been house broken and trained.
Golden Retrievers are an excellent breed, and they can provide you
with the companion you have been looking for. They can participate in
several activities with you as well, such as hiking, camping, and
walking. Golden’s love the outdoors , and they love just getting out
there and doing things with you and your family. If you include your
Golden Retriever in family activities - you’ll have a friend for life
who will quickly grow on you over the years.
