Golden Retrievers are sporting dogs. |
|
as search and rescue dogs, as retrievers in field trials, and more.
They enjoy agility, flyball, , swimming, rally, and competitive obedience.
|
Golden Retrievers can grow up to 24 inches tall and weigh between 55-75 pounds. Males are bigger than females. These large dogs have a beautiful, light or dark, golden coat. The hair is thick and water-repellent (doesn't soak up water easily). |
 Some Goldens have straight hair and some have wavy hair. |
|
|
Goldens are friendly, reliable, and trustworthy. They are not shy or nervous dogs, which means they are usually not afraid of things. Do you want a friend you can count on? A Golden can be a very good friend. |
Goldens are cheerful, kind, and gentle dogs. They are playful and affectionate. Goldens are a lot of fun! They would love to play almost anything with you. They like to go places and discover new things. |
 |
Goldens need exercise quite often.
|
Golden Retrievers are muscular and strong. They are energetic and can play for hours. It would be a good thing to walk your Golden every day even if he has a yard. Goldens enjoy being active, playing games, and participating in activities like flyball, agility, tracking, and obedience. |
|
Most Golden Retrievers are good swimmers. Many Goldens love the water so much that they will get their face wet no matter where they are. If you live near the beach, your Golden will be a happy camper. Or just turn on the hose and have a blast! |

Know Your Breed Goldens love to put things in their mouths! They have to be watched very carefully when they are young so they don't eat anything that could be dangerous. They can also eat your sofa, so keep an eye on your rascal! There's one thing that almost all Goldens want you to know about them - they love to play fetch. Throw a ball and watch them run! |
| Because your Golden loves to chew so much, be sure to give him lots of healthy, safe things to chew when he's a puppy. He will also be teething (losing baby teeth and getting adult teeth) and his gums may be sore. If he has good things to chew, his mouth won't hurt so much. |
|
 |
Golden Retrievers are social dogs. That means they like people and other animals. Spending time with your Golden will make him a very happy canine! Goldens trust you to take good care of them. Goldens are loyal and affectionate. |
Bathing your Golden regularly will help keep him clean and smelling good. Dogs are more fun to hug when they are clean. Brushing him two or three times every week will help keep the hair in the brush and not on the floor. Brushing also feels good to your dog and helps keep his skin healthy. |

 |
Golden Retrievers don't like to be left alone very much. They get very lonely when left in the yard with nothing to do. It's good to go outside to spend time with your dog, or to let your Golden in the house. If he has learned the house rules, everyone will be happy to have him in the house. |
 |
 |
It is important that your Golden start learning his manners when he is young. As he grows, he will get stronger and it will be harder for you to train him. You don't have to be harsh. Puppies learn through play. There are lots of games you can play with your puppy and he will be learning at the same time. Teaching him tricks will teach him how to learn. You both will have lots of fun. |
