🌟 Breed Spotlight: The Golden Retriever 🌟
The ultimate good boy (or girl) with a heart of gold — literally.
Golden Retrievers are one of the most beloved breeds in the world, and for good reason. With their cheerful dispositions, gentle temperaments, and eagerness to please, Goldens are not just family dogs — they are family.
🦴 Breed Basics:
• Group: Sporting
• Size: Medium to large (55–75 lbs)
• Coat: Dense, water-repellent double coat
• Shedding: Oh yes. Year-round with seasonal blowouts
• Temperament: Friendly, loyal, smart, and playful
🛁 Grooming Tips from JSGC:
Golden Retrievers require regular brushing to prevent matting and keep their thick coat in top shape. Their feathering (behind the ears, legs, and tail) is especially prone to tangles.
We recommend professional grooming every 4–6 weeks to manage shedding and keep their coat and skin healthy. Don’t forget those nail trims and ear cleanings — Goldens love water, but their ears can be prone to infection!
🎓 Fun Fact:
Goldens were originally bred in Scotland to retrieve shot waterfowl — which is why they’re obsessed with fetching… literally anything.
💛 Whether they’re cuddling, adventuring, or proudly parading a tennis ball around the house, Golden Retrievers have a way of making every day a little brighter.
