Selecting the right pet for you and your family is an important decision. There are so many choices of breed available that your options are truly numberless.
The American Kennel Club categorized the different breeds by groups with each group having distinguishing characteristics that are shared by all the breeds in it. The golden Retriever belongs to the Sporting Group.
The Sporting Group is made up of some of the oldest and most popular breeds. Many of the dogs in this category were bred for hunting although most people who own sporting dogs only keep them as family pets, rather than hunters. But, it is because of these traits that some of these breeds are so much fun to have around. Goldens, as their name suggests, are retrievers, and they love fetching a ball, sometimes for what feels like hours. They are also sociable and personable, and they make excellent companions.
Goldens are bred for toughness and strength. Don't let the happy, silly face fool you. Though Goldens love to wrestle with family and lay around on a soft couch, they are amazing in the field.
As puppies, Goldens are full of energy and can be especially mouthy. Make sure you direct your puppy's need to chew to appropriate chew toys. When they are puppies, they don't really care what they chew on. They don't care what's available to chew, whether it is a chair leg or a chew bone. Goldens are easy to train, very sporty and their personalities are endearing. They have a keen desire to please. They love to perform and do things to impress you. They are also excellent with children.
The Golden Retriever is generally light yellow to deep golden honey in color. The coat tends to get a little deeper in color after the first year. They are on average about 24 inches tall at the shoulders, and sometimes females can be a little shorter. Their long hair can be flat or wavy. They'll need to be brushed properly or their coat will form thick mats.
So, if your goal is to find a pet that can make a good companion to you and to your kids, Goldens might be just the perfect breed to go with.
