Golden Retriever's are such a fun loving beautiful dog! They are one of the top breeds that the American Kennel Club recognize, and one of the most common dogs you will find in a home all over the United States.
Golden Retriever's are perfect family dogs, as they love companionship, being with families, being with people in general. They make excellent training dogs for many causes, as they are one of the most easiest breeds of dog to train. Golden Retriever's are lovable, smart, easy to train, good temperament, great addition to any family or house hold usually.
Golden Retriever's don't really make very good watch dogs. But any dog in the home is more likely to scare away a burglar, than no dog at all. The Golden Retriever has a very loud sounding bark, but he or she is more likely to lick and love the stranger, than attack them, and that is one reason that make great family dogs, they are not usually never aggressive, and they are great with children, when socialized correctly when they are young.
Make sure your Golden Retriever has plenty of fresh water at all times. I live in Southern California, and we had a pool at the time in the back yard, and one day my Golden Retriever named Baxter, got heat stroke, I took him to my local vet, and they kept him over night, and told me they did not know if he would make it.
This was over 25 years ago, but I remember I made him the nicest steak, and he had not appetite, usually he would of drove me wild for that steak, and here I was holding it inches from his nose, and he was just moving his head away, he had no appetite at all. I could not get him to drink any water, and I thought he might fade on me.
I went to the store, and bought some baby food, and I bought a turkey baster, and I filled that turkey baster up with baby food, and I took Baxter's jaw, and I open it with one hand, and I forced several squirts of food into his throat, because I thought I could not let him die, I had to make sure he had food, and baby food he could take, and then later, he started drinking water by himself, and I believe the next day, he enjoyed that whole steak I make for him earlier!
Golden Retriever's are very special dogs. They earn one of the top spots for helping out humans in so many different ways. The average size Golden Retriever will be anywhere from 50 to 70 pounds, males usually weighing the most. Their coats and a beautiful color, but not red. They need plenty of love and exercise, as they are a large breed dog. Golden Retriever's will shed hair on you regularly, so make sure you brush often.
Some of the things that are pretty common in Golden Retriever's is hip dysplasia, which can be a serious problem, and is hereditary. Another problem is cataracts that Golden Retriever's get in their eyes. They also have skin allergies sometimes that you would need to see your vet to usually take care of.
