Breed Biography

💛 Let’s talk everyone’s favourite furry friend, the Golden Retriever!

💛 Back in the early 20th century, the breed was used as a hunting dog that was needed to retrieve waterfowl on land and in the water. These characteristics are still seen in many of our domestic Retrievers that LOVE the water and playing fetch.

🧡 These dogs are some of the most popular dogs around, and for good reason. They’re an incredibly loyal and obedient breed that make great guide or assistance dogs.

🧡 Being a high energy breed, daily exercise is a MUST! Without daily dog walks and mental stimulation, you may come home to one very messy garden. Regular exercise will also help to reduce the risk of weight issues.

🐾 If you have a Golden or thinking about adopting one, things to look out for include joint dysplasia and obesity. Make sure you chose registered breeders and watch the dog’s food intake !

🥰 Here we have Boston!
