these are lovable,well-mannered ,intelligent dogs with a great charm.They are easily trained ,and always patient and gentle with children.Goldens enjoy pleasing their masters ,so obedience training can be fun.friendly with everyone,including other dogs,goldens have very little,if any,guarding instincts.while unlikely to attack,Goldens make good watchdogs,loudly signaling a stranger`s approach.some of golden`s talents are hunting,tracking,narcotic detection,agility,competitive obedience and performing tricks.also,they love to swim.
Height 22-24 inches(male)or 20-22 inches(female),Weight 60-80 pounds(male) ,55-70 pounds(female)
prone to hip dysplasia and congenital eye defect.skin allergies are common in golden and require immediate veterinary attention.
they live about 10-12 years.
i hope that this will be helpfull for u.good luck with your dog

They are good companions. Honestly, i have none but my friend. Well, i have seen him, he really loves this dog and sometimes i must make myself believe that they have the same mother... .lol. Anyway, the fact in this is, they really good friends. Only that, the pain of losing them is the same as losing a member of the family.

golden retrievers are wonderful dogs. They have a wonderful temperment and are great for kids. They are very easy to train, and are very loyal and well behaved.
