Being a Golden Retriever Owner I can tell that it's not as easy as it seems to raise a Goldie. Even though they are one of the most intelligent and gentle dogs, there are quite a few challenges that every new parent goes through. So I decided to share all the advice and tips for raising a Golden Retriever.

I had one for 12 years, miss him like crazy.. My once in a lifetime friend..
He was almost to sweet for this world.

I’ve had three golden retrievers over the last 50 years and they were all remarkable dogs. My current one, Griffin, is a dufus but has a heart of gold. He would rather eat French fries than steak. He has an incredible nose and can pick out a rock that I throw into the creek. He chases buzzards out of his air space. If he’s not in heaven when I get there, I’d just as soon not go.

I just can't help smiling whenever I watch golden retrievers playing and interacting with friends, of which to them - is everything in the world.

I had a Golden for 12 years and we still miss Sepp very much. She was sweet and docile and so loving, and the very best friend for my youngest daughter who was born when she was about 6. It still makes me smile when I think of it. They are such beautiful and good dogs. Mine was an English Golden Retriever.

I have had 2 golden retierver's. Our first one was Buddy and when he stood on his hind legs he was over 6' tall and weight 90 pounds and about 27" high. Buddy was with us for 8 years and God took him home early. He was very smart, intimidating to strangers lol, but a total gentle loving pup and he always had a smile. Our second golden retriever was Harley. We had Harley almost 13 years and he passed 8/4/2022. He was very very smart, and through training gained "logic" and according to our vet he said this is not normal for a dog to have logic but he said Harley does. I said well I trained him and it is true. He would watch my every move and knew almost intuitively which direction I was going to go. He always had to have his eyes and ears on me it was weird and funny at the same time. He loved games and everybody he met the tail always wagged.

They are absolutely perfect family dogs. They listen to everything you say PLUS they listen to the TONE in your voice and even when you don't notice and with Buddy when someone came to the door he didn't know and because he was so big and tall people would watch Buddy while they talked to me and Buddy would just stare at their eyes as if to say...don't mess with my mama LOLOL.

But gosh Buddy was a GENTLE GIANT until one day I saw a guy walking past my deck and I opened the sliding glass door a little bit and said: who are you and what are you doing in my yard?? No respone...so I said it again...all of a sudden my sliding door got pushed open and Buddy went flying off the deck skipped the 4 steps to the ground, did a donut on the lawn and froze in place with his eyes on this dude. I said to the guy again ...who are you??? All he could do was freeze in place, stare at Buddy and finally gave me his name. He worked for the Electric Company and I said your friend staring at you his name is Buddy do you want to say hi??? He did and I called Buddy into the house and I was surprised the guy didn't have wet jean's when he left. LOL Needless to say Buddy got hugs, kisses and treats for protecting mama. He was so perfect it was amazing. I apologize for the length of my comment but thought somebody would enjoy it. Goldens are the Best Family dogs plus very protective without a doubt.

I have had 4 retrievers so far in my lifetime but my first retriever was a "flat coat" which are black and usually have a white snipe on thier chest. My first retriever was this flat coat type and she was every bit the same character as a golden and was a constant companion with my 2 young sons. Still miss you Lady, you were a good dog.... as they all are 🙂 My other 3 , 2 have been English and my current is Canadian....all wonderful dogs.

This is really interesting. I have a 1 year and 3 months old female named Kiara, and looking at this description I think she is an American Golden retriever. Her coat is close to a light honey but her mom is really dark, like caramel. I've had 3 dogs before but this is my first Golden and I can testify the energy part, she is much more active than my other dogs and needs tons of exercise. I love her very much ❤

[miahoffmann]

I had a American Golden ❤️for 12 years, he passed away on october 2020 and I’m still very sad..but without Golden I can’t live and now I have an English Cream Golden.
They are sweetie‘s; I love Goldens.❤️

My sweet baby golden passed away almost 2 years ago at 12 years old, he ruined me. I'll never have a dog like him again.

I have a 7 year old american goldy and hes so chilll and the 2 year old British goldy is a nutt case but extremely athletic. Took him on an 8mile hike and he still wanted to go swimming after.

First American Golden Retriever we got for our 13 year old son. Perfect. Lived 13 healthy years. Since then we have had 5 more same breed, and now have the white English cream. They are all absolutely wonderful. This one has a new things she does, if she picks something up in mouth or piece of toy, she comes to me and sits till I remove from mouth. Amazing to me.

I have a Canadian reddish golden female who is 8. Also have a 15 week old English Cream male.
Yep, both are loving and active.

As others have mentioned, you left out an important type: field goldens. (I have had 3.) They are a darker gold (usually called "red"). They tend to be a little smaller. Their hair tends to be a different texture - silkier (if that is a word), not as heavy and coarse as a typical American golden. Their coat does a wonderful job of shedding mud and dirt. The head is often more narrow than the broad-headed American golden. They are more active than the average golden, if that is believable. While still incredibly friendly, they tend to be a little more task-oriented than people-oriented when compared to the other types of goldens. Often this is the type of golden that is used for hunting. (These are all generalizations; of course each golden is unique and special.)

I’m biased...best family dogs ever !!!!
