About Golden Retrievers

The Golden Retriever is one of the most popular dog breeds. The breed’s friendly, tolerant attitude makes them great family pets, and their intelligence makes them highly capable working dogs. Golden Retrievers excel at retrieving game for hunters, tracking, sniffing out contraband for law enforcement, and as therapy and service dogs. They’re also natural athletes and do well in dog sports such as agility and competitive obedience. These dogs are fairly easy to train and get along in just about any home or family. They are great with kids and very protective of their humans. A loyal, loving, and smart companion.

Size: Males are 23 to 24 inches tall and weigh 65 to 75 pounds. Females are generally 21.5 to 22.5 inches tall and 55 to 65 pounds. Golden Retrievers usually reach their full height by one year of age, and their mature weight by two.

Coat: Golden Retrievers have a dense, water-repellent outer coat with a thick undercoat. Some coats are wavy, some are straight. They come in all shades of gold, from light to dark gold.

Character: A sweet, calm nature. The Golden was bred to work with people, and is eager to please.

Care: Retrievers are low maintenance, but do need basic grooming to keep their coat healthy. Plenty of exercise and moderate rations of food will keep them healthy.
