1. The Characteristics of a Golden Retriever Puppy and Dog
––––––––
Golden Retriever's are such a fun loving and beautiful dog! They are one of the top breeds that the American Kennel Club recognizes, and one of the most common dogs you will find in homes all over the United States.
Golden Retriever's are perfect family dogs, as they love companionship, being with families, and being with people in general. They make excellent training dogs for many causes, as they are one of the easiest breeds of dog to train. Golden Retriever's are lovable, smart, easy to train, good temperament, and are a great addition to any family or household usually.
Golden Retriever's don't really make very good watch dogs because they are so friendly. Nevertheless, any dog in the home is more likely to scare away a burglar, than no dog at all! The Golden Retriever has a very loud sounding bark, but he or she is more likely to lick and love the stranger, than attack them. That is one reason why they make great family dogs, they are not usually ever aggressive, and they are great with children, when they are socialized correctly when they are young
Golden Retriever's were breed as gun dogs to retrieve water fowl that the dog owners would shoot, and the dog would swim out and retrieve it and swim back with it.
The Golden Retriever has two coats of fur, an inner softer coat that keeps them warm, and an outer coat that is water repellent and lets them dry off quickly. Golden Retriever's naturally love the water, and anything to do with the water usually.
Make sure your Golden Retriever has plenty of fresh water at all times. I live in Southern California, and we had a pool at the time in the back yard, and one day my Golden Retriever named Baxter, got heat stroke, I took him to my local vet and they kept him over night, and told me they did not know if he would make it.
This was over 25 years ago, but I remember I made him the nicest steak, and he had no appetite. Usually he would of drove me wild for that steak, and here I was holding it inches from his nose, and he was just moving his head away, he had no appetite at all! I could not get him to drink any water, and I thought he might die on me.
I went to the store and bought some baby food, and I bought a turkey baster too. I filled that turkey baster up with baby food, I took Baxter’s jaw, I opened it with one hand, and I forced several squirts of food into his throat with the other hand. I thought I could not let him die, so I had to make sure he had food, and baby food I knew he could take, and then later, he started drinking water by himself, and I believe the next day, he enjoyed that whole steak I made for him earlier!
Golden Retriever's are very special dogs. They earn one of the top spots for helping out humans in so many different ways. The average size Golden Retriever will be anywhere from 50 to 70 pounds, with males usually weighing the most. Their coats are a beautiful color, but not red. They need plenty of love and exercise, as they are a large breed dog. Golden Retriever's will shed hair on you regularly, so make sure you brush them often.
Some of the things that are pretty common in Golden Retriever's are hip dysplasia, which can be a serious problem and is hereditary. Another problem is cataracts that Golden Retriever's get in their eyes. They also have skin allergies sometimes that you would need to see your vet to usually take care of.
The average life expectancy of a Golden Retriever is about 11 to 12 years. The Golden Retriever was recognized by the American Kennel Club (AKC) in 1932.
2. How to Stop Your Golden Retriever from Jumping Up On People
––––––––
It is your dog's way of getting your attention, and the best way he or she knows, is jumping up on you when they see you, and want to greet you and get some attention from you.
This is almost always cute when your Golden Retriever is a puppy, but when he or she gets bigger, that would get old really fast! You need to teach your puppy not to jump up and get excited when they see you.
"Some of the best ways to teach your Golden Retriever not to jump up on people, and you don't want guests and family members avoiding your dog that jumps up on people, now do you!"
The best way to curb this is to not be excited when you see your dog, and don't make eye contact. When your dog goes to jump up on you, turn your body so he or she slides down. Keep doing this, and do not talk to the dog, just use your body language. Keep turning to the side until your dog finally settles down, and then when he or she is standing calm, give them praise for being calm.
Your Golden Retriever should learn to be calmer, and they will get the praise they desire, much sooner. Make sure you have all the other family members on board, if one person lets the dog jump up, he or she will be confused, so get the whole family into the training program!
Your puppy or dog will not grasp this right away, but with proper training, and repetitive training, your dog will become a much better family member!
3. What You Should Know About Puppy Teeth
"There is no doubt about it; puppies are going to chew on things! Dogs will have 28 baby teeth, and 42 permanent teeth. When a puppy is roughly, 2 to 3 weeks old, their baby teeth start to come in. All
