    • With its broad head, intelligent eyes, and blond coat, the Golden Retriever stands as one of America’s top dog breeds. This friendly breed excels at a wide range of lifestyles like hunting and fieldwork, guiding, and being a family pet. 

    • The breed was developed in 19th-century Scotland by crossing the “Yellow Retriever” with a now-extinct breed called the Tweed Water Spaniel, thus creating a breed more suited to the rugged and rainy terrain of the area.

More About The Breed

  • With its broad head, intelligent eyes, and blond coat, the Golden Retriever stands as one of America’s top dog breeds. This friendly breed excels at a wide range of lifestyles like hunting and fieldwork, guiding, and being a family pet. 

  • The breed was developed in 19th-century Scotland by crossing the “Yellow Retriever” with a now-extinct breed called the Tweed Water Spaniel, thus creating a breed more suited to the rugged and rainy terrain of the area. 
  • Golden Retrievers are generally very friendly to strangers, children, and other pets. They love interacting with others and pick up training rather quickly, as they are extremely intelligent, loyal, and eager to please. 

The Golden Retriever is an adaptable breed. They do well in just about any climate, but like any dog can be sensitive to extreme heat. They are not at all happy being left alone for long periods, so make sure this dog will have an active role in your life. They are somewhat sensitive to their surroundings, so be aware of this when having a large gathering and make sure they feel included but not overwhelmed.

  • Golden Retrievers have good bloodlines and live 10-12 years. As with all breeds, they are susceptible to certain diseases, especially dysplasia of the hips and elbows and eye conditions. Check with your breeder to find out the history of the parents.

This AKC-recognized breed is suitable for even novice owners. Golden Retrievers are highly intelligent, attentive, and eager to please their owners, which makes them a highly trainable dog breed.

  • Golden Retrievers are shedders, but with habitual weekly brushing, increased to daily during shedding season, this can be minimalized. As with all breeds, their nails should be trimmed monthly and their teeth brushed weekly. 
  • Goldens are sporting dogs and require plenty of daily exercise. They make great companions for walks, runs, and bike rides. As they age into adulthood, you’ll find that their energy level adapts well to your lifestyle. Because of their high intelligence, they also excel at canine sports like hunting, agility, obedience, and tracking. 
  • Golden Retrievers stand 21-24 inches tall and weigh 55-75 pounds. 

This dog breed usually lives for 10-12 years.

Golden Retrievers have made plenty of famous appearances, including starring in Disney’s Air Bud and as Comet in Full House.
