Golden Retriever Puppies

It is easy to imagine how anyone could fall in love with cute, furry face golden retriever puppy. They are so playful and always willing to cuddle, which are the main features of that new dog owners looking for the puppy. But with life expectancy of up to fourteen years, adopting a golden retriever puppy is a lifetime commitment and should not be an impulse decision. Popular breeds like goldens can be easily found in many pet shops around your area. But what some consumers do not understand is that many dogs sold in pet stores come from puppy mills. I have heard many people claim that if that were the case then they have saved their dog. Unfortunately the people who own these puppy mills do not see it like that. They see the money that came in for the dog and gives them the opportunity to re-breeding pair. Typically, dogs for breeding in puppy mills are more than kept in poor health and spend their life in a cage.

Another disadvantage to buying the puppy from the pet needs is that you are not able to see parents buy a puppy. Features of parents are transmitted to their puppies. A puppy from a peaceful, friendly dog is likely to be calm and friendly as well. Aggressive dogs are likely to produce an aggressive dog when they get to their adult years. Typically, private breeders love their breed and are considered the experts. They also offer tons of resources to its customers before and after their purchase.

Golden retriever puppies are typical to their breed standards. They are intelligent and energetic. They can easily be trained with positive reinforcement and by rewarding them with their love of food. But, golden puppies also love to chew so, you had better offer them their own chew toys or you will find you favorite pair of shoes is one mate short or your chair suddenly only has three legs. Golden retriever puppies should also be kept busy. Their highly intelligent nature can cause them to become bored. Left to fill their own time without activity, these dogs might choose to turn their boredom into frustration and destruction.

On the bright side, goldens love human companionship, kids and other pets. They are an ideal dog for a family. They also make perfect guide dogs, search and rescue dogs and other types of service dogs. They love to play fetch in the yard or go on long walks. Their highly energetic nature allows them to be the perfect jogging, hiking or hunting partner. Placing your golden puppy into an obedience class will prove to be a wise choice for any dog owner. They are extremely willing to please their owners but can sometimes need the direction in order to do so.
