Golden Retrievers

By Troy Jones


In the world of dogs, Golden Retrievers are simply the top attraction. Because they are great pets, companions, hunting dogs, obedience competitors, and show dogs, many people own have Golden Retrievers. No matter what your reason may be for choosing to own a Golden Retriever, you'll surely have an excellent dog that will live up to its potential and then some.

Golden Retrievers are popular for being affectionate, calm, and well-mannered. Training them isn't hard at all. They also make very loyal, lovable and children-friendly pets. They also make great watchdogs, 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. Golden Retrievers are like Labs when it comes to being in and near the water. Your pet will love getting and playing in the water, which might make him a little dirty. Expect to spend time grooming them.

If you are always on the go or never at home, you shouldn't get a Golden Retriever because they will suffer from not having you around. If you would want a cat more than a dog, then you should consider another breed. Golden Retrievers really need attention and admiration, and they don't do well if they are always left alone at home. These dogs need attention and they want to be with you all the time. A Golden Retriever is the perfect pet if you're often at home or if you have kids.

When choosing dogs, most people prefer to get puppies and raise them. This way, the puppy will grow up with the skills they have taught him. This is a very good thing, even if training your pet can take a lot of time and effort. A puppy might not be right for those people who are impatient. Instead, they should look towards an older Golden Retriever with a good history 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. You can take them along when you hike, camp, or walk. Golden Retrievers just love being with their owners in the outdoors. If you include your Golden Retriever in family activities - you'll have a friend for life who will grow on you over the years.
