the Golden Retriever is called “the perfect dog” by its many admirers. The Golden has changed very little over the years, other than a lighter coat color becoming increasingly popular.
Golden Retrievers were recognized by the American Kennel Club as a member of the Sporting Group in 1925.
The mature male Golden Retriever should stand from 23 to 24 inches at the withers females should be 21½ to 22½ inches in height.
Deviation in height of more than one inch in either direction is a disqualification under the American standard. Adults typically weigh between 55 and 75 pounds (the females are usually lighter and smaller than the males).
Their lustrous double coat can be wavy or straight.
They should be brushed regularly and need occasional bathing to eliminate a doggy smell. Their ears should be cleaned regularly as well to prevent accumulation of dirt and debris.
It’s not surprising that Golden Retrievers are one of the most popular dog breeds in the United States. Along with being exuberant and friendly, they are strong dogs and hard workers.
Goldens are good at whatever they do, be it hunting, serving as guide dogs, working search-and-rescue, or being devoted companions.
Though they are serious about their work, they also enjoy being downright silly!
