Golden Retriever Puppies

Golden Retriever puppies are one of the most popular family pets as they are known for their friendly disposition, loyalty, intelligence and energetic, playful nature.  Golden Retrievers are athletic and fond of water so they need plenty of exercise which could include games where they retrieve a ball or frisbee.  Golden Retrievers respond well to obedience training as they are eager to please.  They need regular contact and attention from their family.  Golden Retrievers also make good hunting dogs as they have a strong sense of smell and love to swim.  Golden Retrievers grow to between 20 and 24 inches in height and will weigh 55-75 pounds.  Common health concerns for Golden Retrievers include hip, elbow and eye complications as well as allergies.  The Retriever's coat will need regular brushing and owners should be careful to not overfeed them as Retrievers are prone to weight problems.  The following videos illustrate several examples of Golden Retriever puppies.
