Facts Should Know About Golden Retriever
Golden Retrievers are some of the most popular dogs both in the US and worldwide, thanks to their beautiful appearance and their nice characters. But having a dog is a long-term responsibility(10 to 12 years in this case), and you need to make sure you’re ready to share your home with a Golden Retriever before getting a puppy.
You shouldn’t leave your Golden Retriever alone for more than 4-5 hours a day. Goldens create strong bonds with their owners, meaning they’re great family dogs. They’re willing to please their humans and love being around children of all ages because kids are always ready to play. Leaving your Golden by herself all day will only make her suffer, which in time can generate depression, separation anxiety, and in some cases destructive behavior.
You’ll have to hide your shoes because Goldens love to chew. These dogs like to carry things and, often when they’re bored, will start moving your stuff around the house. They’re famous for their chewing habits so provide her with resistant toys, specially made for heavy chewers, and don’t let her get too bored during the day. Lock up your shoes, telephones, remote controls, games, kitchen utensils, clothes, and small pillows, or they’ll meet a very messy end.
If you’re a couch potato then this dog is not for you. Golden Retrievers have high energy levels and they need to burn this energy off. Give your dog one or two hours of exercise every day otherwise she’ll mess up your home. There’s plenty of activities you can do, as Goldens are great companions for walking, running, playing in the park, swimming, and even hiking. Besides running, Golden Retrievers need mental stimulation to thrive. You can teach her obedience training by yourself, as these dogs are known to be among the most obedient breeds.
Neutering can cause health issues to a Golden Retriever. Neutering has negative effects on Golden Retrievers, increasing your dog’s chances of getting joint disorders and cancer. In this post, Dr. Karen Becker talks about alternative methods of keeping your dog from breeding, such as a vasectomy or tubal ligation.
