With a sunny disposition to match it's
beautiful golden coat, the Golden
Retriever makes a loyal, affectionate
and trustworthy companion.
Extremely loveable, well-mannered and
eager-to-please, Golden Retrievers excel
in field trials, hunting, tracking,
agility and obedience. They adore
children and get along well with other
dogs and family pets. Goldens stand
from 22 to 24 inches at the shoulder and
weigh from 60 to 75 pounds. The dense,
water-repellent coat comes in various
golden shades and requires weekly
brushing to keep it silky and shiny.
Golden Retrievers do best in homes with
a large yard or country homes where they
are given plenty of outdoor exercise.
If you are looking for a fantastic
family dog, you can't go wrong with a
Golden Retriever puppy - there's a
reason they are North America's #1 dog
breed!
