What They Don't Tell You About Golden Retrievers

I've had a retriever for 7 years since he was a puppy. While they require a lot of effort, their bites are surprisingly gentle. Unlike some breeds, you don't need to worry about brushing their teeth; dental sticks have kept my dog's teeth in perfect condition. As for toys, Kongs are no match for retrievers-they tear through them in minutes. Instead, consider investing in buffalo horns; they're much more durable and will keep your retriever entertained for longer.

We had no idea when we brought Fidget home at 8 weeks (she’s now 3 months old) that she’d be such a little pirahna! Thankfully our 4 year old German Shepherd took pity, and on day two, he started cutting in and herding her away whenever she went for the ankles. He taught her so well! Before the end of the week, she no longer went into pirahna-mode with us. She does however, play really hard with him! He loves it, and so does she 💕

Rocco is our fourth Golden Retriever. After three ladies (all passed away due to cancer, and broke our hearts) We decided to get a male!! He is just as fantastic!! We are a forever GOLDEN family!!! RIP: Simba, Sasha and Nahla...

The lady having dinner with her dog towards the end is a whole mood.

My little girl is almost 5 months old. She's so big, it's hard to remember that she's just a baby. Yes, she's a ton of work, Yes she has her own dedicated spa day, yes she has endless amounts of energy. She eats a lot and needs a lot of attention but it's totally worth it. Love her so much and she knows it. Oh and she's my second golden.

I have a golden collie cross. He is basically a little black and white golden retriever. He has every golden characteristic you mentioned but turned up to working Collie.😊

Yup my 3 month old golden is a landshark! My arms and hands are all scratched because of him 😅 he is a handful and it does get stressful at times but I love him so much so it’s acceptable just because he’s my world 🤍

I responded to a CL ad for a dog needing special attention. I'm retired so I've got time, energy and love. Emmy was totally shut-down, scared of everything from never, ever being exposed to anything. She was 8 months old and had no clue what a stick or ball was for. She froze when walking in a corridor with a turn to it. Mirror images and basking in the sun were new. Traffic was terrorizing. I'm thinking the family who bought her probably got her from a puppy mill in PA. They had her for two weeks. She was emaciated, her ribs and vertebrae were visible and she had no butt muscles at all. She had to have been like this when they bought her. 8 months later, she's a luv-bucket. She went from traumatized at the dog-park initially to a social butterfly and having the time of her life. She's pretty good at walking main st. and she's just experienced going in the water after being afraid. Watching her become a dog has been the best experience ever. The amount of luv that floats around the house equals the fur fuzz balls we now accept.

Goldens only shed twice a year...6 months in the spring, and 6 months in the fall! 😜

Golden Retriever is like the best first dog. If you can't handle a golden then you aren't the dog person you think you are.

Mine is all in one. sweet, playful, intelligent, crazy and eats a lot. I love him so much. he grew up so quickly and heavy in just 5 months. I kinda miss the times I was still able to carry him.

I can’t get enough of this channel! Getting my first golden puppy next month and I’ve been binging all your videos! So helpful!!

I have an alien golden pup. He never bit down even when he had baby teeth. I mean never, not while playing, or being held. Quite a contrast to my 8 yr old golden. When she was a baby, I had to explain my scratches and bites all over my hands and arms. She would “fly” at me with her mouth open! My current one has always had the “ soft mouth”. He is a year next week. His name is Wyatt.

I just got my new baby puppy. 5th golden I have owned in my life. Last boy died at 12 years old, last month. No cancer, hip problems or any other illness, I never want to be without this source of love

My golden stole my heart 🥺 My little angel

I have 2 Goldens, 1 English, 1 American. They go to work with me every day. Sweetest breed I have ever had but their hair is everywhere!

The cancer rates...we lost our boy last year to lymphoma. He was diagnosed in May of 2020 and we started chemo for six months until he went into remission. He had a resurgence in May of 2021 and after a month of new treatment the oncologist had the hard talk with us of how it was going to end. We said goodbye in July when I had to make the most difficult decision to end his suffering. But even now, knowing that the cancer rates are as high as they are, I will do it again in a year or so and go all in for another Golden.

my golden retriever puppy is 8ws old and my older Golden boy has a little sister and she did everything you said

Lost 1 American Golden, 1 English & 1 Assie Cattle dog, all to cancer. The sadness of losing your best friend is really terrible.

I’m finding your channel SO helpful! My husband and got our first dog together before we got married. She was a GSD and the best dog in the world. She passed when my daughters were very young. Now that it’s been a few years, they are begging for another dog and they really want a Golden. Unfortunately I now have a debilitating autoimmune disease. I want to say yes to getting a Golden but the more research I do, the more I worry that it’s not the right fit. What’s strange is I always see this breed used as service and therapy dogs. I wish we could get a well trained, mellow Golden that would be a help to me. I’ve always loved this breed ❤

I just got my golden retriever puppy 2 weeks ago. It was crazy how the prices ranged. The cheapest ones I came across were 550 and the most expensive ones were 4,000. The one I got was 750 plus a 6 hour drive lol but hes so worth it! His favorite thing to do is bite even though we are a highly active family and he also has tons of toys for the time we are home lol. Luckily his bites aren’t terrible he pretty much just mouths us 😂 he wants everything in his mouth

Just got a Reddish colored Golden. It's like raising a toddler.

Wish I knew how great they were. I’m 50 and only have so many I can enjoy. My baby girl is only 6 months old. Best dog I have ever owned. I loved my Lab,Basset and Dachshund but she has been the best.

Have currently 2 golden Retrievers (both White English ones) And are quiet healthy, on of them is 15 years old and the other around 3 The older one does have a few hip and teeth problems though but still energetic and happy

So cute!!!

Best video EVER ❤️

We are on our 4th golden! They are the best!

Affectionate dogs. Charming affectionate puppies!!! Irrisstable dogs!!! Attractive 😁 NICE COMFORTING DOGS!!!

very nice

Regarding number one.... No thief is as skilled as a Golden is at stealing your heart. They are masters at this kind of theft. Goldens are basically love covered in fur.

I can’t wait to get my golden in about a year!!!

I I love big dogs and small dogs. My favorite breed the golden. Treva Treva.

Like all things in life you can’t generalize completely. We are on our fourth golden retriever and can tell you no two have been the same. But the points here are generally right.

Hell on earth for us the frist 2 weeks. First time with GR. Everything you mention is 💯 true. The biting, go from here to there etc. It is like raisng a terrible 2 lol. And yes very expensive pup. They required 24/7 2 eyes supervision as pup that is the truth. We had Shih Tzu he was totally the opposite of GR.

You become addicted to Golden Retrievers

I have a labrador. I wished that someone had told me that he will still my heart.

Just got a puppy this weekend and I'm having mixed feelings! 😟

Pls share how can we make a frozen kong

my golden retriever cinnamon is 9ws old and she is so cute and wild

Most puppies are the same, that's why you have to train them immediately & begin crate training as well.

Alice my female golden retriever never bite. She understand so well that this can hurt.

Shop vac feel for tumors early and smacking on butt to keep hips good

and she's my 9 golden

Time to mix in new video clips...

Should I be scared I have a male golden and and the vet said he will be big for his breed and gender

when she was a puppy my dog ate a hole in the wall

We have a labrador retriver❤😂

Yes, they are not the healthiest breed. Our boy have been on prescription dog food virtually all his life. He has been on Rx meds for allergies and at 9 years old he now has cancer. The comments about their neediness is an under statement. They require LOTS of attention. But, yes, they are the sweetest breed you can find.

My golden doesn’t bite at all 😮

Just trained my 3rd Golden and I have to say this video is dead on except for the health part, or maybe I have just been lucky. Anyway, Goldens are well worth the effort!

You get out of your dog what you put into them!

‘NkmnnmknnknmknmkkmnkmnnNnknknkmnmnnknkmnk, ok n;’mnkn;:nmnm mknkmnmknkmnmnnmnk,m. Mtk😢m😂

ho and she is white golden

Lordy.............a lot of what you say is true, yet so what. If you don't like getting toothed, don't have pets. Same holds true for licking. You want to whine about biting, try Schutzhund or French ring.

One really good way to avoid the high cost of buying a golden is to rescue one - or more. There are golden retriever rescue groups all of the US and the world. They will usually charge you for the privilege of taking one of these treasure home with you, but they are usually mature so they require less training.

Dogs are too much work for nothing really. Saved a lot of money and have a clean house since I stopped owning dogs. Thanks to my neighbor who gave me this idea.

I don't have a Golden Retriever but have been lucky took after a few. No matter what they do you just can't stay md for more than a minute.!!!❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🥰🥰🥰🥰
