ABOUT THE BREED
The Golden Retriever was developed in Scotland and England in the mid-1800’s as a retriever of small game and waterfowl. Its retrieving instinct, trainable nature, even temperament, intelligence and strong desire to please make the Golden well suited to many endeavors.
Knowing how to groom and manage both coats on your Golden is important for maintaining their coat and comfort.
The Golden Retriever Club of America (GRCA) currently recommends that the sire and dam of a litter be tested for hip dysplasia, elbow dysplasia, and heart issues and eye anomalies at minimum. Most breeders will also do DNA testing.
