As we start to enter the end stretch of 2020, who can believe what a year we have had!
We are so grateful we have been able to continue to care and help our essential workers during this crazy time we are living through by caring for their dogs when they are unable.
That brings us to our October Dog of the Month announcement, which comes with two celebrations! Congratulations to....

Milo!
Milo is everything that is great about a Golden Retriever, he is sweet, goofy and loves everyone and everything! He is great at giving cuddles too!
We have been lucky enough to care for Milo while his Mum has been hard working in the health care industry and we can't thank her enough for everything she does!
We love being able to have Milo enjoy his holiday with us and send him home nice and tired for his Mum!

 FUN FACTS ABOUT GOLDEN RETRIEVERS
  • Golden Retrievers are considered be the 4th smartest  dog breed
  • They are known to take care of other animals, even cats
  • Golden retrievers make great watch dogs as they will bark loudly at strangers, but not fantastic security dogs as once they interact with a person  they become more friendly.
  • Golden retrievers star in lots of movies and TV shows as they are easy to train.
  • While they aren’t used as much for hunting these days, they are commonly used for Search rescues and as Bomb sniffers due to their great sense of smell.

The Golden Retriever

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!
