PUPPY CARE

Crate Training
When you bring your puppy home, you should have a place the puppy can call it's own; a crate. Dogs are den dwelling, and prefer to be in a secure, protected place. It is a great aid in house-breaking and gives you peace of mind when there are times you can't watch your puppy or dog. For further information on crate training you may obtain a copy of "A Pet Owner's Guide To The Crate" by Nicki Meyer by sending your name, address and first class postage to:

Responsibility
Proper care of your Golden is your responsibility. Goldens require plenty of daily exercise so that they can maintain physical and mental fitness. However, they should never be allowed to run loose. This is unfair to your neighbors and is dangerous for the dog. Your Golden may become overactive and difficult to live with without regular exercise. At times when you cannot walk the dog on a leash, he should be confined to a fenced yard or kennel run.

Also important is regular veterinary care. It is advisable to spay or neuter your Golden. Breeding should be left to people who are able to dedicate the time, money and energy to improving the breed.
