You have learned a little about their personality, now it’s time to look at physical traits and care of this beloved breed:
The Golden Retriever is know for their glossy golden coat that gives the breed it’s name.
The AKC recognizes light golden, golden, and dark golden as standard. No matter the depth of gold (English Cream coats appear almost white), Goldens always carry a “red/yellow” gene.
English Creams are often called white, but is really a pale cream that is often seen in European Bloodlines.
Light Golden can be defined as a pale, yellow-gold color that is lighter than the standard golden but richer than the English Cream
Golden is the iconic medium-gold yellow shade.
Dark Golden is a deep rich or lustrous golden shade that is a honey or light caramel color.
As with the English Cream there are also Red Goldens that have a deep reddish-orange or mahogany shade that is a common natural variation often seen in working lines.
One item to note as you pick out your puppy. Puppies often change color and usually darken along their ears and back as they grow into their adult coat.
Goldens have short floppy ears that are feathered. Their eyes are friendly, intelligent, and soulful. They are often medium sized dogs weighing from 55-75 pounds and are 23-24 inches tall. On average Goldens live 10-12 years. They also have a double coat that they shed once or twice a year. Aside from the heavy shedding time they shed moderately on a regular basis. If you are not a fan of dog hair this may not be the right breed for you. A bonus is Goldens are not know to be big droolers.
Some main items to know about caring for a Golden Retriever is they will need brushed regularly, they are prone to ear infections due to their floppy ears that reduce airflow. You will also have to have a lot of strength to resist those soulful eyes that guilt you into giving them extra treats or make you question if you already fed them dinner as they are prone to obesity.
