Comments on How to Care for a Golden Retriever

Good article, but I would call a golden retriever high maintenance. This is not a dog that entertains itself. My golden is the biggest Mama's girl and wants to be with me constantly.

This is so sad. I have a golden retriever, and they are the sweetest dogs on earth. All they want is to love you. Could you persuade your parents to give him up to someone who would really take care of him? Is there a golden retriever rescue where you live?

My golden is having extreme hair loss after giving birth to a litter of 8. Any treatment tips or vitamin supplement suggestions?

hello- my best friend golden- she is only 4 years old.She is really a fighter, she had liver failure about 6 months ago- her chance of making it were slim. I told the vet "do everything in your power to save her" I was so glad she MADE IT through.Now recently she diagnoise as pancreatitis, I am really physically, emotionally, mentally drained at the same time I am trying to be strong for her. She is on a special diet. She really doesnt like her prescription food. Is there any way I could make her homemade low fat food??? Any suggestion would be greatly appreciate. Thank you so much--Golden paws-

Please, any tips or advice would be great, thanks.

(sorry, I guess I ran out of space lol) continued.. Last summer I was home for a couple of months, and it was great, I spent lots of time with him, I took him for walks, and just basically made sure he was being taken care of properly. My parents house isn't that big, so that pretty much limits the dogs area to the kitchen and living room, oh and of course his kennel which he has to sleep in every night. Now, months later, I have been away since the end of summer, the novelty has worn off for the dog, now he just sits there, in his house freezing, sometimes 5, 6, 7 hours a day without food or water on occasions. If anyone knows anything about Newfoundland winters, then you know that it is not even fit for a dog outside most of the time. The dog does not get his exercise, he is pretty much always lonely, and it really kills me, because for the most part there is nothing I can do...Plea

What's up guys? I'm a 22 male, and I would just like to say first that I love dogs, but especially golden retrievers. There is just something about the breed, such a good looking, friendly and smart dog. All my life I wanted one, but we never really ever had the space or the money to raise a dog like that growing up. I have been moved out of my parents house now since I was 19, and about a year ago they decided to take a golden retriever from a family who couldn't care for him anymore. Basically I think the dog got bigger than they expected, and they were starting to neglect it and would just leave him tied on outside all day. So my parents kind of saved him I guess. When they told me that they had gotten the dog, I guess I was happy at first, then maybe a little jealous,(because I really wanted one lol), but then as time went on I just felt really sorry for Dakota.

I have a golden. I love her so much. She has such a sweet disposition and is always trying to please. Loves to chase a ball and swim. The downside is she is too friendly to strangers. Very trainable with a soft touch and voice. Her spirit could be broken easily if mistreated. I recommend this dog to anyone who is kind and loving. Deb

I have a Golden and this is our first she is now 12 months. She is the best dog we have ever owned. She is very friendly if she knows you and very shy if she does not. She loves to cuddle and thinks she is a lap dog. I have nothing to complaine about this bread. I will never get a different bread. I am a Golden fan for life.
