FAQ
The Answers You Need
How big are the Golden Retrievers?
About 21-24 inches at the shoulder, with males usually in the higher half of that range, and females usually in the lower half. Weight can be as low as 55 pounds, but is usually 60-75 pounds.
What kind of temperament and personality does the Golden Retriever have?
To get an idea of what a breed might be like, always look at what he was developed to do (see the question below). Many of the Golden Retriever's characteristics--his strong body, his energy level and enthusiasm, his love of swimming and retrieving, his strong desire to carry things in his mouth--are hardwired into his genes, because they were needed for a retriever to do his work. Parents of the Golden Retriever, also play a huge role in the puppies life. How gentle he is, and what certain traits the puppy will gain from the parents.
Where does the Golden Retriever come from, and why was the breed developed?
He was developed in England and Scotland as both a land hunter and a water retriever (retrieving shot ducks from the water).
How much grooming do Golden Retrievers need?
Their silky feathering needs to be kept combed to avoid mats and tangles, which can be quite painful, as they pull on your dog's skin whenever he moves. The worst places for mats and tangles are behind their ears, behind their front legs (in their "armpits"), and on their chest, stomach and groin. Their legs and paws need to be kept combed and their tail. The rest of the body can just be brushed.
How much do Golden Retrievers shed?
Golden Retrievers shed quite heavily, if not properly taken care of. They shed some hairs here and there throughout the year, with the bulk of their shedding occurring twice a year, for three weeks in the spring as their winter coat switches over to a cooler summer coat, and three weeks in the fall as their summer coat switches over to a thicker winter coat.
How long do Golden Retrievers live?
Typically 10-12 years. Some reach 13-14 years.
