Buying a golden retriever puppy tipsRetriever pet care guideThe golden retriever is an excellent choice of breed for the family; they are a very gentle intelligent breed who is excellent around children. They adapt well and quickly to a new home and are generally very easy to train as they love nothing better than to please. There are however certain things to take into consideration before buying your puppy, the golden retriever loves to be around people and doesn't like being left alone for long periods of time so you should ask yourself if you have the time needed to take care of a dog. Due to the golden's long coat they also shed profusely and need regular grooming to keep them clean and healthy, they also need a lot of exercise as they are a very active breed. Choosing your new puppy You should always buy a puppy from a reputable breeder and make sure that you see the puppies with their mother and if possible also see the father, if this is not possible then the breeder should be able to show you photographs of the father. The breeder should also be willing to show you health certificates for both the mother and father of the puppies as the breed can have several health problems some of which are inherited and can be passed onto the puppies. If you have a family with young children then you shouldn't go for the quiet puppy, try to choose one that is interacting well with its littermates but not overly boisterous. A golden retriever puppy should be inquisitive, confident and interested in who you are and shouldn't shy away from you all the time. Golden retriever puppies coats will look a lot lighter when they are puppies than they will when they are fully grown so colour at this young age is nothing to go on. A rough guide to the colour they will be when fully grown can be seen on the fur on the ears, of course the colour of the mother and father will give you a better idea of how the puppy can turn out. Always ask the breeder about each individual puppy, a good breeder will have spent time with the puppies and will know the temperaments of each, some puppies will naturally shy away from strangers so just because the puppy is sitting in the corner looking a little wary of you doesn't mean it's always like this. Once you have chosen your puppy then make sure that you are given all the proper documentation including any health certificates and kennel club registration papers. The breeder should also make sure you know you can contact them at anytime and they should also give you advice on things such as feeding, care and grooming along with tips on caring for your new puppy. |
