What kind of dog is a Golden Retriever?
The Golden Retriever is a gun dog from Scotland. The breed was created to help hunters by retrieving their catch -- mostly waterfowls. What sets the Golden Retriever apart from other hunting dogs is their soft mouth, which allows them to bring back the hunter’s spoils undamaged. Today, Golden Retrievers are used in search and rescue, police work, and in guiding the blind. Excited to have this dog with your family? Browse our network’s Golden Retriever puppies for sale in Iowa today.
What are the usual health problems of the Golden Retriever?
Golden Retrievers are generally healthy dogs that can reach the age of 12. Proper diet, exercise, and veterinary care help in keeping these dogs in their best shape. Like all big dogs, they are genetically predisposed to hip dysplasia, cataracts, and some form of cancer. The good news is, properly bred dogs are at a lower risk of developing these issues.
