9 Things you MUST KNOW Before Getting a Golden Retriever! 

Mine died because of cancer only 1 month ago, and I’m completely shattered. I cry from missing him every day.

@@kenazfehu7176 Mine had to be euthanized due to kidney failure. When she took her last breath, I.... broke. down. I lost a part of me that day. I still have her dog tag on my keychain. I learned that talking about the good memories and the funny moments help deal with the pain of loss. There were MANY funny moments!

Wonderful list. The tennis ball thing, what’s up with that. Hahaha We got two boys from the same litter as pups and boy was it hard for the first year but I am so in love with my babies. It pains me when the negative thought of them passing away sneaks into my mind and I can feel the tears welling up in my eyes threatening to break my heart. Your golden baby made it to 14yrs! That’s amazing. I pray ours will too.

Rest In Peace

Ohh... So sad... Rip wisper... And thanq so much for sharing a priceless msg..

They surely are amazing :)

You can buy pug instead if you have space problem

same

Same

Its not a space thing with a golden believe it or not. I feel like this is a common dog misconception. Its all about a dogs energy levels and the exercise they get. I had a belgen malanois in an apartment and he did just fine. But i took him for long walks before and after work often id find a fenced area like a school yard and let him off leash

Me too :)

Yes they surely bring joy to our lives :)

The Goldie has such a magical way of making us forget that they are not human.

Agree with you

I totally agree!

Z3

Yes they are 😍

Yes they are

I love them

Sad I messed up the no. :v It was 69 😂

They are 😍😍😍

Exactly! My Winnie would run immediately to get a tug toy to offer them. LOL

I was astonished when I had to crash at my friend’s parent’s place for a night and both of their golden retrievers came to sleep at the foot of my bed rather than at their owner’s bed. What an honor!

Golden Retrievers are surely amazing!

they're less likley to bite than to bark , less likley bark than to lick is there a different way to say this because I do not understand whatever formula that is conveying

@@mind_of_A Because they want to be everyone's friend.

monthly cost around?

Our Simba loves car rides too :)

@@Manavvv7 uhh just food besides vet visits lmao

I wish our goldie loved the car, She wasn't too bad at first but now we struggle to get her in, even with chicken in the offing. She's 16 months old. I can only think it's the bumps in the roads she doesn't like. Usually have the widows down or air con if it's a warm day.

That is so sweet :) but maybe your dog's low energy could be the result of lack of exercise. You can check this video out to know more about the Golden Retrievers and How much exercise they need - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BAEMBU8T8N0.html

That is absolutely correct :)

Yes totally agreed. This golden furry balls are so cute and so hard to forget. I just cannot imagine my life without simba :)

Mmmmm

We lose our Abbie and within a week a good friend found us another one, Annie. Annie was born the same day Abbie had to be put down. A blessing to us. Then Annie had to be put down at 12 years. Our next one Maggie came along within 6 months. We all need to remember they don't live forever. We will outlive our puppies. So if you enjoyed your puppy, get another one and enjoy him or her as long as you can. Give them love and they give it back. Think about it, once they are born they need someone and that someone can be you.

I lost my golden retreiver in 2014. Had her since she was weened at 6 weeks. I still remember the first time I picked her up. Without even trying she stole the heart right out of me. I was so blessed to have had her. Part of me wants another dog someday, but I'm just not ready.

@@briandaniels7493 All you need to do is go look at some puppies. You will be ready. We said the same thing you did, but the heart takes over. Once they are born, they need someone. Once they have returned to Heaven, not much we can do about that other than pray we can be with them again. They do not live as long as people. The fact is you will out live them. The sad part is when that time comes and perhaps way too early because of cancer or something else. I know your feelings. Our Annie's ashes are here at the house and will be with us someday, but in the mean time we have Maggie. Yes, she is different. They all are a little different. But the love, the obedience and the fun playing is what they live for. They always want to PLEASE and it's up to us the PLEASE them too. I do hope you change your mind. Sounds like you love em like we do. One thing you might do is pick one out that can lay like a frog. That means good legs and hips. See if mom and dad have been tested for heart issues and eye issues. Many breeders, at least the good ones, are doing that hoping that the Golden breed will cut back on those kinds of common problems. Good Luck!

Haha we should have definitely included that ;)

SO TRUE!!!! Don’t think this large pup is a guard dog!!!!

Unless the intruder is allergic to ring licked, no, they are not! Ours did bark loudly whenever something or someone was at the door, though, so *watch*dog is a “maybe”….

Totally agreed, yes the ideal minimum time that the puppy should be able to separate from its mother is 8 weeks but still, many ethologists also claim that the puppy should be with its mother until 12 weeks of age.

This is our second Golden Retriever. I agree They, they do not need supplements if they eat healthy natural dog food. Poppy loves fish, so we sometimes give her tinned fish in oil (with a bit of the oil). Our vet commented what a nice shiny coat she has & says she is really fit & healthy (she's eight). He also recommended not to bath her more than twice a year otherwise it strips their coat of natural oils, etc. Obviously if they roll in something disgusting, like fox pooh, you have no choice. If Poppy just gets muddy, we dry her with a towel & brush the rest out when she's dry.

Glad it was helpful!

Woow that's amazing.

Our 4 year old Golden boy is still as peppy as a puppy. :D

Well they are golden retrievers, can you blame them :)

I would tell the same thing for my little simba :)

I can totally understand. My Simba is the same.

Glad you liked it!

Glad we could help!

You are one very special and lucky person with an awfully big heart. Two Goldies can be a house full but 5 definitely keeps you busy. I find it difficult to love any breed as much as the Goldie.

WOOW, I can only imaging handling 5 of these.

@@RetrieverCare It's really not that difficult. We have been showing and breeding Goldens for 20 years. They are extremely easy to train and eager to please. Having multiple Goldens really isn't a huge chore, aside from vacuuming and sweeping up all the hair.

I'm getting an 8 week old pup tomorrow. I'm so excited but really nervous. I've had dogs in the past but have never been this excited

Wow that is so great :) I'm sure you will have the best memories with your cute and fluffy golden!

So, have yoy got one??

I am glad. Thanks a lot 😊

They are surely the best :)

They are so beautiful and precious how can anyone complain about their shedding.

@@caroldurham893 It's not really a big issue with us as we've since acquired our third golden. They are just too lovable and wonderful to describe!

Oh that's amazing. : )

Haha! I promise you won't regret it :)

The first year is really rough. No, not a little, it’s rough. It’s worth it but follow this channel.!it’s very true. Says a owner of a 5 year old golden.

We're so glad :)

Aww Amber seems like such a good girl :)

Mine too! Please don’t tell my spaniel.

@@mrcohiba1662 😄

Please don’t call your full breed retrievers , rescues. They are not rescues. Rescues are the animals at kill shelters that are sick, diseased and need saving because no one wants to adopt them. I have spent so much money on giving health to my actual rescues which aren’t pure breeds so I cannot stand people calling their pets, rescues when simply they were just adopted. My pets were extremely sick and another needed surgery. They were in kill shelters ready to be put down because no one wanted to adopt sick nonbreeds. Rescues are the ones in kill shelters and/or have been through extreme abuse. Calling your retriever a rescue isn’t appreciating what actual abused rescue pets have actually endured. Retrievers go for over $3,000 and is a top breed to own for families so no way was it in threat of going to a shelter. Stop calling your dog a rescue, people see through that BS. Would be great if you actually did rescue an nonbreed since they are the ones who never get adopted and are put down.

That is awesome! I promise you won't regret this :)

@@RetrieverCare Yes :)

That is so great! Also have you thought of a name? :)

@@RetrieverCare i got her just saturday, my mom surprised us, we named her Lily

That is absolutely correct :)

Glad it was helpful!

That is unfortunate :(

Yes our Goldens are all rounders😍

Haha well that's golden retrievers for you :)

That is so great :) I love Golden Doodles btw!

I have golden doodle to!

@@oranjebeer6637 theyre the best!

​@@oranjebeer6637I used to have a red doodle, turns out it was just lipstick!!
