4 Things You Should Know About Golden Retrievers

By Robin Setser


To say that there are numerous dog breeds would be an understatement, but some are more popular than others. Golden Retrievers stand out, not only because of their commonality in the United States but the charm they possess as well. In fact, it's partially due to the charm in question that families bring these canines into their homes. For a better understanding of Golden Retrievers in general, here are the 4 most important facts to be aware of.

Golden Retrievers are nothing short of varied in terms of their appearances. Many people think that they differ solely based on their location, but the color of their fur should be noted too. Some have lighter appearances, while others are darker and bolder by comparison. It's important to make note of this because, according to companies such as Assisi Animal Health, Golden Retrievers aren't always "golden" by appearance.

While Golden Retrievers are considerably large dogs, this doesn't mean that they are lazy or tire out easily. As a matter of fact, you may be curious to know that these dogs were once used for hunting, hence the "Retriever" name. These canines made the act of hunting waterfowl and birds easier. The level of energy needed for such an endeavor has clearly carried over into the present day. Simply put, these animals have the ability to go.

Golden Retrievers are recommended for adoption, but this requires regular grooming on your end. You should take your dog to a local groomer on a regular basis, as well as comb his or her fur on your own time. One of the reasons for this is that Golden Retrievers shed on a seasonal basis. This means that it's your responsibility to keep said fur in peak condition. Actions like the ones covered earlier will ensure that your dog's appearance is maintained.

Finally, due to their friendly and calm temperaments, Golden Retrievers make for some of the best therapy animals. These types of animals are used to calm those that are stressed and assist those that would otherwise not be able to help themselves. Golden Retrievers are no different, as they can provide the guidance that people look for. In the eyes of many, this is what makes this particular breed stand out among others.
