Information About The Golden Retriever Dog Breed

Golden retriever puppies

Ok, I like golden retrievers because I have one! The golden retriever
puppies are so cute, you just want to cuddle them all the time. They
grow pretty quickly though! My golden retriever puppy was 35
pounds at 4 months.


The golden retriever is very elegant when it runs. At a young age though,
the golden retriever puppies are exactly like kids : awkward in there
movements. They stumble everywhere, which is pretty funny and cute.
Here at my house, my next door neighbor owns a great Dane, and it
has become my female golden retriever's boyfriend! Each time he goes
out, Skye, my female, ask for the door. And they spends a lot of time
running along the fence and kissing each other. It is tooooo cute!


The coat of golden retriever puppies is very soft. When it matures, the
coat becomes thicker and it is a good thing to groom them often as it
looses quite a bit of hair. The coat is water resistant so it dries out pretty quickly.


Male dogs are usually 22 to 24 inches tall (56-61 cm) and they weigh
around 60 to 80 pounds (25-32 kg). Females are a bit smaller at 20 to
22 inches tall (51-56 cm) and they weigh 55 to 70 pounds (25-32 kg).


I find the golden retriever puppies to be very affectionate. They ask for
attention a lot so you have to teach them that you decide when it is time
to play and cuddle. This breed will stay a puppy for quite a while,
maturing only once its 2-3 years old so you need to be patient!


Apparently the golden retrievers are doing ok in the city, but they need
to run quite a bit so it is not the right choice of dog if you don't have a
backyard where they can run or if you don't take them for a good walk
each day. My golden retriever loves water and I live right by the river
so each time I go for a walk close to the water, she jumps right in it!


The golden retriever puppies might have hip dysplasia, which is a
common health disease in golden retrievers, but you won't know until
the dog is older. Make sure you buy it from a serious breeder because
this is a very popular and common breed so more health problems are possible.
