Mine pets you back when you pet her, sometimes throws paws (not usually) but very much enjoys defensively licking you when you do anything she doesn’t like

Why is Donald Trump pretty and I am not? But why does he only have a wife but I have TWO HANDSOME GIRLFRIENDS who I show off in my masterpiece YT videos? Do you know the answer, dear carrie
Little known fact. Black retrievers came first, golden retrievers started showing up in litters and people started breeding them and they became more and more popular. I had a flat coat retriever mix she was mostly black with white front paws with black polka dots
I had a black lab/golden retriever mix years ago. He looked just like Teddy. He would get compliments from everyone saying what a beautiful dog he was. He also had the best temperament.
Tbh i thought it was actually a black golden retriever. But they just bred a golden retriever with a black lab lol. So it's not a purebred, just a mix. I don't see how that's rare.
@@departmentofredundancydept4121 Yes I knew both parents mom was black lab/golden retriever mix and dad was pure bred golden. Many people asked me if he was a flat coated retriever because he did look very similar to one.
@@MizuMing rare meaning it’s not common; a lot of people don’t have dogs like that and these kinds of mixed breeds tend to be pricy too because they are usually bred for beautiful coats and good temperaments 🥺 I personally never seen one IRL, but I would love to since they are gorgeous. In fact I’ve never seen a golden retriever breed or half breed that wasn’t that iconic creamy golden!
What a handsome, well behaved man! He's obviously been well trained, and socialized. It so nice to see how well most owners love their special dogs. He looked so adorable in thr happy hoodie.
I always enjoy watching your videos, they bring back so many memories. My mom ran her own dog grooming business for over 30 years, from 1970 until the beginning of the 2000s. It wasn't a huge business but she had clients that stayed with her through multiple dogs from the beginning until her retirement. It was hard work and I always thought she never charged enough, but she loved her dogs and what she did. She's gone now, I miss you mom.
Goldies will always have a special place in my heart, never really considered that you could mix them with a black lab and get such a gorgeous pupper! He looks so soft and cuddly, Teddy Bear is the perfect name
@@Quandussy Not really. Labs and goldens share a lot of the same genetic health problems. Simply mixing a lab with health issues and a golden with health issues won’t produce a dog which is magically healthier than the parents. True health improvements only come from diligent and ethical health testing and breeding, or from when you have true mutts of numerous breeds (aka hybrid vigour) or with the cruel benefit of survival of the fittest, as is the case with villager dogs. Not crosses.
The best dog I ever had was a flat-coated retriever who looked just like this. He was beautiful and had the best temperament of any dog I've ever known. He died in my arms after a fight with cancer. He was 10, and I was 21. He was my dog through middle school, high school, and college. Now, over 20 years later, I still miss him more than any other dog.
Sorry to hear about that. My Flat-coat ran into complications at the age of 9. Best dog ever. Unfortunately they die young for some reason. Full of energy until the end.
TB reminds me of the last dog in our household who was a bigger black spaniel mix, Maggie. She had the same beautiful brown eyes and solid black feathery coat. She's been running the fields of canine heaven for a few years now. Miss her, but smile every time I see a dog that reminds me of her. 🌞🌈 🐕💗
My sweet Jasmine was a Black Lab/Golden Mix. She lived to 15 and was still getting in and out of my truck. She traveled cross country and also went to work with me, while logging and remodeling homes. Jasmine was incredibly smart and made friends all over. She would visit neighbors and their dogs. When I apologized for her roaming (I lived on a dirt road), the neighbors insisted she wasn’t bothering them and said she made their dog’s day. She passed in 2021 followed by her Springer Spaniel sister in 2022 who lived to twelve. I am dogless at the moment due to my current job, but hope to rescue a pair of dogs when I’m able again. She was the best/sweetest dog I ever had.
I see a lot of goldadors at my job but we don’t usually get ones with this much fur! They usually look like labs with a slightly different face shape and some feathering. He’s absolutely gorgeous.
If either mom or dad has all dominant genes, the puppy will take up their traits and resemblance. If one of the parents has all recessive genes, the likelihood of the puppy resembling either parent is 50/50
I think that is an oversimplification of this. There are multiple genes controlling coat colors in labs and I imagine there is for coat length as well. I’ve seen goldadors with long fur, short fur without feathering, and everything in between. The latter of your statements is only true if the opposite parent is heterozygous. The black color from the lab would be dominant in this case but I don’t have any idea how the coat length gene(s) work.
@@laurenwallace8204 The long coat is caused by a recessive genetic mutation in the FGF5 gene. Because it is a recessive mutation, a dog must have two copies of the recessive long-hair allele (l/l) to express that gene and cause the dog to have long hair.
One of our girls carries for long coat so when bred back to a golden they're more likely to produce longer coats. Hopefully that makes sense. I just woke up lol
We ordered a set of nail clippers from your Amazon store last week (hopefully you got credit for it) and they are the best nail cutters we have ever used! Our blue heeler/border collie mix absolutely hates the groomer and the last time I was worried that he was going to be fired as a client (not aggressive, just really nervous and VERY vocal), so we are working on getting him better with tools around him and being more comfortable with being groomed. Your videos have helped so much! Thank you for all your hard work!
dog groomer here, i can assure you he wouldn’t be fired for being nervous and vocal! we deal with that a lot. we only really fire dogs when it becomes too dangerous for either the dog or groomer, which only really happens if they’re aggressive or thrash violently and risk choking themselves on the grooming loop. that said, taking the extra steps to help your dog be more comfortable with the process is always a good idea and is very appreciated! best of luck to you and your pup ❤️
@@gracemarcucci3459 They didn't really elaborate on what he did this last visit, but I have a feeling he tried to unalive himself by jumping. He also has this cry/scream that can be very very annoying and sounds like you're killing him, but you're not even touching him. He does it on walks while my kids are too far ahead and I'm not going fast enough to catch up. He got kicked out of a basic training group class because he was screaming and it was freaking out the other dogs. We just tell people he's socially awkward, that's why he fits in so well with our family. Lol
This was what my dad's dog Norton looked like when I was a kid. He was the sweetest and best boy ever- so tolerant and calm with us as we grew up. Love seeing dogs that look like him.
My 13 year old back golden mix looks kind of like him! a little floofier with a smidge less chest/foreleg length. I've had a few dogs, but he has been hands down the sweetest, best behaved baby angel since I got him at 4 months. Everyone always says how beautiful he is, and how he looks like a little bear. Even now his coat is like it was when he was young. Ugh, if only we could have them forever eh
Oh my goodness this looks so much like my childhood dog! He was supposed to be part Goldie, part Black lab but he also had some Newfoundland in him so he was a bit bigger than this one. Very good boy
I love Teddy Bear and his black coat. He was really patience most of the time. I also agree with you Venessa, he definitely has watched your previous video. He look so beautiful, I really want to hug him for real long❤ I really appreciate your all effort for educating your viewer about animals, their breed, their nature, behaviour and your effort of spreading awareness.
I'm a big fan of your content. I used to be a dog trainer, I found your videos at that point in my life and I've been following since you had 30k subscribers.
Such a beautiful Dog! I've only seen a couple pictures of "black golden retrievers' online and now I get to watch you groom one and make him even more beautiful. Thanks for sharing!
My girl, Taco, looks like a miniature version of Teddy Bear. I think she's a flat coated/cocker spaniel mix and the problem both we and the professional groomer have with her is she is likely to decide that she will be taking a nap during her bath or while we dry her and it takes an act of God to get her to stand up for a few minutes....as soon as we finish she is up and refuses to sit for hours
@@irener.3849 I'll never forget e time I scolded an American Cocker Spaniel puppy for his mischief. I looked into his eyes sternly as I scolded him. He turned his head away. I steadied his head such that he couldn't turn away from my face. He was facing me but his eyes slanted to the side. I scolded him for a few more seconds before letting him off. Then I quickly went away to burst into laughter. Oh my! So funny n so super adorable 🤣😂
Our Arlie is a flat coated retriever and a best boy. His coat is also gorgeous, but it gets over-shadowed by his big, beautiful heart and goofy antics that always keep us laughing. Thank you for sharing your adventure with these wonderful pups. 🤎🐕
I thought this was a Flat Coat Retriever for a second and nearly cried. I had one growing up and they're an ultimate heartbreak breed (lifespan avg. 6-9 years bc of cancers). Would love to see one of them featured (although Ik they hardly exist), as they are gorgeous
We had a beautiful big 80 pound boy who looked like a FCR, but he was Australian Shepherd/weimaraner mix. He was smart, gentle, protective, my best & constant companion for most of his 14.5 years. You are right. Big, floofy dogs are awesome.
@@claytonreid996 i live in wiltshire,Uk. They were originally the main retriever for gamekeeping here until goldies and labs came over. We have 4 thats ive seen in my town and a friend is a breeder :)
@@vickylawes ah, that's awesome. I live on the West Coast in the States, and we were lucky to find someone who had 1 litter of puppies, but we havent heard from them since. they're the best dogs
@@roberthunt1540 I hear you, truly. I held my last doggo, Dino, while he was put down due to a sudden, unsurvivable acute illness, and it was like my heart was torn out of my chest. That was over 13 years ago and I still miss him.
There’s the golden retriever in him….giving you the paw! I have rarely met a golden who does not offer a paw for you to hold or just to be touching you. They are so cute 🥰
My golden George really enjoys punching me. Usually it's not a big deal, but I'm having heart problems right now and he keeps trying to punch me in the chest... he just loves me so much lol
That is a beautiful looking dogg-o - even keel temper makes him more awesome. Kudos to his owners for the work they put into him and you for the groom - he looks awesome. Hope he was spoiled with plenty of treats after the groom for being so terrific!
Thank you for taking the time and effort to create such a wonderful channel! I respect the work that you do as a groomer- both in technical skill, and also in just plain hard labor. Your videos never fail to make me smile. Sometimes, I even break out into laughter at your dry humor. You're obviously an entrepreneur, and I wish you much success. Now, back to the ideo. Just has to stop to thank and encourage you.
I agree with all these positive comments. I've always had indoor cats but also love dogs -- and I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos grooming both. You obviously love animals and have a true calling for this work; hope you continue for MANY, MANY YEARS!
I congratulate you and I'm amazed on your dexterity and craftsmanship with your cutting tools I have been a human hairdresser for over 40 years and you my dear are a hell of a professional and a lovely person that's why I follow your channel
Thank you so much for sharing your work. As someone who had pets as a kid, but can't afford the deposit for one as an adult, your videos make any day better.
Thank you for sharing the handsome Teddy! We had a "Black Golden Retriever". Her parents were a Golden Retriever and a black Lab. They were both registered, but it was NOT a planned litter according to the owner. Her name was Mij and she had a gorgeous coat like Teddy 😊. When we lived in Colorado people assumed that she was a Flat-coated Retriever because there were some in the area, also beautiful dogs. We were fortunate enough to have her with us for 15 happy, healthy years.
@@janareeves7482 Some breeds of dogs, such as Labradors, always have a short-haired coat. Other breeds of dogs, such as Poodles, always have long hair. Still other breeds can have either type of coat, such as the Dachshund. The long coat is caused by a recessive genetic mutation in the FGF5 gene. Because it is a recessive mutation, a dog must have two copies of the recessive long-hair allele (l/l) to express that gene and cause the dog to have long hair. A dog that has short hair could have one or two copies of the short-hair allele (LL or Ll) to have the short-hair phenotype. Thus, it is possible for two short-haired dogs (if they are both carriers of the long-haired allele) to have a litter of both long-haired and short-haired pups. This may be of a concern for breeds in which long-hair does not fit the breed standard.
Oh wow! What a beauty, first of all I think many of us haven’t seen a black golden retriever till now! 😍💕 He was so good and calm through the whole grooming session! 🥺✨ Good job Ted! 😂❤️
Some questions for you, from a vet assistant interested in grooming on the side: 1. What are your minimum requirements for the pets that you groom? For example their vaccine/disease status, their socialization level, and ability to stand still? 2. For difficult dogs, how do you manage them all on your own? Like when they just won't stand still for anything? 3. When will you turn down a client? 4. What is the order that you prefer to do things in and what do you to prep them for the bath (eye lube, ear clean, cotton in ears)?
@@morganmonroee That's a whole different reason not to download that app. But that wasn't even my point. You completely ignored what my comment *actually* said. You have TikTok dontcha?
I always love the “Happy” Hoodie” moments because not one of your gorgeous clients ever look Happy! lol Teddy Bear is one that I would snuggle with as a full grown adult lady as I don’t get to snuggle with T.B’s as I outgrew them a long time ago. He is so cute, you always take such care with each client even if they are trying to telling you No Thank you in the many ways as we see lol
@@muffininorbit idk I had a flat coat retriever mix we think was mixed with border collie( she definitely was herding type dog- she liked to herd the little cousins, lol) before dna tests came along so when someone mentioned flat coat retriever and we looked them up we decided that she must be flat coat. She was a calm girl.
@@mcnoneya That's because your dog was a MIX and not a pure bred Flatcoated Retriever! I've met a LOT of Flatcoated Retrievers in my life and they were far from calm! They were very eager to do everything with their owners.
Years ago I helped raise a puppy that had a "black golden retriever" mom and a shepherd dad. All the pups looked like yellow Labs, although some were chunkier and some slender. Fun fact: the mom dog's owners were Abbie Hoffman's ex-wife and kids.
Wow I didn’t know they were rare, my lab always went and got knocked up from the towns golden retriever, she mainly popped out black ones like him, her name was Teddy Bear too! Rest In Peace Teddy 4/29/17
He looks so much like my 10 year old dog Jett that passed away unexpectedly a week ago today. We just got his ashes and paw print back today. We adopted him so we weren’t sure on his breed but he looked like a long-haired black lab. This video brought tears to my eyes. I miss that sweet boy so so much!
I love your voice and the written comments/thought of the dog XD And in this particular video, YOUR PANTS! I need one of those for myself! I have watched every single video you made since Hank "the weird golden" video, that made my laugh so much I like your energy and seeing all the beautiful creatures on this channel make my day! Thank you so much for sharing all this with us!
Omg! 😍🥰 he is so adorable! And well behave 🥺💗 the way he throws paws really melts my heart 😭💟 SOO GENTLE POLITE ... this might be my fav video 😍 so cuteee... bless that lil wolfie teddybear😘
Oh my goodness how sticking adorable is Teddy in his happy hoodie. Wow never seen a black golden retriever before Teddy is so handsome and he looks wise beyond his years. ❤
Your videos have helped me so much! My back thanks you for sharing about The Stuff for Dogs and my pup thanks you for helping his care taker get more efficient.
Your passion, professionalism and empathy towards all our pet dogs is inspiring..!!! Thank YOU for what you do for/to our larger Dog Communities. We have a Superb Groomer here in Rincon, GA & are so appreciative of them and our excellent vet, Dr. Bailey & staff at Effingham Animal Hospital [HUGE “SHOUT-OUT!!” To Them!!] - we’ve been loyal customers for over 7-years now😎🐕🇺🇸
Oh, my heart! We lost our black golden about a year and a half ago, and he was just the sweetest boy. We got him when I was five and he was there for all of my big moments, wanting a pet on the head. ❤
