El Golden Retriever

In obedience, there is no other breed of dog that can compete with the condensed retriever. That is why it is considered one of the best breeds of assistance dogs for the disabled and for the blind. Its feats as a rescue dog in recent decades surpass anything that can be demanded or imagined. For those who can have a relatively large dog and do not have problems with allergies due to long hair, this breed is ideal. It is noble, obedient, intelligent, very affectionate and tolerant of children. Perhaps its only shortcoming as a pet is that it is not a great guardian. That is, if that is what is desired. It is recommended that it be allowed to exercise daily. Some associations consider that this breed requires considerable exercise. It should also be brushed regularly. Although hair care does not require excessive attention, as in some other breeds of dogs, in the behavior of the golden retriever there does not seem to be any difference in gender, being rather a personal matter. This breed does not show aggression towards other dogs brought into the family. They are animals that repel water easily and enjoy baths a lot. Some negative qualities that golden retrievers have are that they shed hair all year round, their skin is very sensitive, they need daily exercise, they need a lot of family tension, and this breed of dog tends to have quite a few genetic problems. So before getting a dog of this breed, check that its lineage has not had medical problems such as dysplasia or eye problems. The main characteristics of this breed are that the head is wide between the ears, the nose has to be black, the ears are relatively large and drooping. Males can weigh between 30 and 34 kg, while females can weigh between 27 and 32 kg. The height of the dog from the withers to the ground is about 56-61 cm in males and 51-56 cm in females. The color is golden, only golden, and they usually live between 14 and 15 years. Thank you very much.
