Golden Retrievers originated from Scotland late 19th Century, where they were used for retrieving wild fowl from scrubs and water. Today they are a wonderful dog to join your family as a pet are also one of the most popular breeds to own across the world.
Golden retrievers are a large breed, the adult male stands around 56-61cm tall while the female stands around 51-56cm tall. They have a thick double coat that is water resistant. Their coat sheds a lot especially with the change of seasons, so they do require a thorough 10 minute brush once a week to keep it well maintained.
Golden retriever puppies are born with a pale cream coloured coat though as an adult this will generally darken to a deep golden colour or another shade of cream. An indication as to what colour they will be as an adult can generally be seen on the tip of a puppy’s ear.
The Golden retriever has a very happy go lucky nature; they thrive off being around other dogs and are very intelligent. They will always greet you with a happy wagging tale and love receiving lots of pat’s and cuddles from anyone who will give it to them!
