The Golden Commitment

The Golden Retriever lives to give. They give you all they have, whether in performance or companionship. They need to be with people, and they are everyone's best friend. They are active, shed a lot, have a need to carry things, and tend to dig. Therefore, if you are looking for a watchdog or a one man dog, if you cannot tolerate dog hair, or if you have little time or energy to devote to a dog, this is not the breed for you. We suggest you contact the American Kennel Club for more information on breed characteristics. Or use Iam's Breed Selector for automated recommendations based on traits you select.

Puppy or Adult

Puppies are like babies. They require a lot of time and attention. It is extremely important that they be cared for properly, introduced to new sights and sounds at appropriate stages in their development, and be well socialized and well trained. This is the basis for developing a puppy to its fullest potential as a welcomed family member. If you cannot make this commitment, you may want to consider an older, housebroken Golden which has already been socialized and well trained. Our affiliate, the GoldHeart Golden Retriever Rescue organization, is a nonprofit, all volunteer organization which finds new homes for unwanted, stray or abandoned Golden Retrievers. GRREAT - Golden Retriever Rescue Education And Training, Inc. is another rescue group serving the mid-Atlantic area.
