Retriever pet care guide
If you are thinking of buying a golden retriever
puppy then you will probably have a lot of questions regarding the breed
and if they are a breed suitable for you.
Give your new puppy a few days in which to settle
down making sure that if you have children they don't overwhelm the puppy
too much during the settling down period.
Your new puppy will be just like a young child when
you first bring them home, all puppies go through stages just like a child.
Do Labradors shed? The Labrador retriever does shed
and they have a double coat, the undercoat is soft and downy with the outer
coat being a harsher coat and what is called the guard coat.
Certain conditions are needed in your life to ensure
that you stay healthy and so you should make sure your dog remains as healthy
as possible by meeting certain conditions too.
Due to the golden retriever's long feathered coat
daily grooming is essential to keep your dog healthy and well, the golden
retriever is particularly known for it's beauty and to keep it looking beautiful
you not only have to groom it daily but also occasionally trim the coat.
Golden retrievers first came to light in Britain
in the early 1800`s, it was a Scotsman by the name of Lord Tweedmouth who
first brought attention to the breed on his estate in Inverness.
The Labrador retriever wasn't recognised by the British
kennel club until 1903 and didn't make its debut in the United States until
1917, they were originally called the lesser Newfoundland dog or St Johns
dog and it was under this name that they were first brought to England in
the early 1800`s. |
