Goldens Shed: Although you may be diligent -
Yes they are the most amazing family dog but will they fit in to what your family want from a pet?
You should consider whether you have the energy and time to invest in the attention and time a Golden requires. In fact no matter what breed you plan on bringing into your family please do read some more about the breed and their behavior and needs before adopting.
If you want to sit on the couch and have a laid back companion at your feet, do not get a golden! They need attention and work otherwise they will get bored and take out their frustration and boredom on your garden, furniture or clothing.
Choosing the best dog breed for you -
You may have your heart set on getting a puppy but do not discount the advantages of getting an older companion.
Older dogs will already be house trained and will be easier to settle into a routine. Older dogs will also not be as prone to chewing and or digging.
Although some older dogs may need a bit more health care it should not be a reason not to offer them a second chance, we all get old right?
Some vets and or vet clinics who help animals in need.
Always find a vet that not only you trust but your dog does too.
We would like to thank the Orange Grove Vet -
Goldens are people orientated dogs and need to be able to have contact with their family at all times. If you are not willing to have your animals live in your house as part of your family then DO NOT get a Golden. Be prepared to ensure that your Golden has a safe (adequately fenced and secure) area. Make sure that you Micro chip your Golden so that in the event that you need to find your dog it is made easier with a micro chip.
Do not get two puppies from the same litter, they will bond with each other and not with you -
