    My 3.5 year old male Golden Retriever is a sucker for female golden labs!!!! He makes a bee line and humps when ever he sees one!
  • Our golden retriever named Hugo newer really grow up, even though he didn't had as much energy when he got old he was as playful at 11 as he was as a puppy and he still believed he was a puppy trying to sit in my lap if I was sitting on the floor He was also very clever and told us in his own way when he wanted to go for a walk He would go to the hallway and catch the leach from where it hung, straiten it out on the floor then fold it in his mouth and drop it in front of you and then go to the front door, he would also do this if we asked him if he wanted to go for a walk often when we had finished eating dinner he always new when my father would arrive and stand by the door and wait for him he also knew when it was time to go to bed Sometimes he would run away, one time he ran away to our neighbor who had some cats witch he loved to visit, this time he saw that the front door was open so he went to the flowerbed and picked a big sunflower and then he went inside and gave the flower to our neighbor wife and then he ate the cat food Our neighbor called my mom and told her what an well behaved dog we had that brought her flowers when he came by for a visit LOL He also loved tennis balls and one time I put four new ones in front of him to see what he would do when I told him to pick up the balls up and give them to me. He would struggle a little at first but he did bring me all four balls, two in the back and two in the front of his mouth.

    We had our male golden neutered at 14 months and is perfectly healthy so far and not over weight. Our vet told us to wait until after 1 year to neuter. Seems to be sound data 👍
  • I live in Australia and have had goldies for many years, i would not wantnto be without one. My present seven year old is a big male still with everything he was born with, yet he is the most lovable dog you could wish to meet. At seven, and being a fair sized dog, he still likes to try andd sit on my lap but only half of him fits, but he is happy with that. His name is Sebastion. He hates thunder and hides behind the chairs or tries to get onto my chair with me, he does not show the slightest signs of agression and actually runs away from a fight, loves children and will spend all day sitting by the fence watching the kids next door and if he gets a chance would be with them in seconds, he has certain toys that he will walk about with in his mouth all day untill there is food about. I rwally feel these are wonderful dogs as a companion although when he changes coat he does it in a big way with sometimes a bucket full of hair From one brushing, so you do need a good vacuum for the house, a small price to pay for such a good pal.!!!!!
  • We have two Goldens...They run to the front door barking even when the neighbor across the street shuts a car door.
  • My golden is named Ice hes only 6 months old so we havent got to see that much with him, But as i keep saying he and him you already can tell hes a male. And Ice does not really bark, like only barks when he is Locked up (Only for Emergencys or if we HAVE to paint something and make sure hes safe) Or at the vaccum, Idk if you believe me but he also barks to protect me, But if any of those things dont happen you will never see him bark. And we dont to those often at all so im Glad, im a kid, And even at 6 months he is so gentle and loving, Ice is the best dog ever!!♡♡♡

    My Pablo turns 21 months old today. He is the goodest big goofy boi ever. He is patient and considerate with people and animals. He is the best thing to ever happen to me. He loves sticks and females in heat. He weighs a lean 42kg so he is quite large but not fat. He is e best and I hope he lives long and I can make him happy and tired!

    I have a male Golden who turns 6 years old in a month and is still playful as a 2 year old 😅
  • @cecynor
    My male golden retriever learned to go outside to pee... by imitation... following the female that was 3 months older.
  • @tamercam6952
    No buddy is the best name for a male golden. They are the best buddies in the world
  • Thanks. Aren’t most of these characteristics coming to dogs in general?
  • My golden male lived to 12 years. He had no illnesses, and still bounced around like a puppy. He was never neutered. I have a 9 month puppy today, and after watching this, plus my experience, I don't think I will get him neutered either. I had a female who was fixed and died of cancer tumors at 8 years. My large yard is well fenced, and I always keep my darlings on leash when we go anywhere. Never had any problems with mine around other dogs either.

    Hahaha 😂😂 You gotta love golden ❤
  • @billmalec
    Got our male 'English cream' after he was neutered and near 2 years old. No humping, no puppy stage, no hiking the leg to pee, no nothing. Rarely barks.
  • Please put a video on what to give to eat and above all about vaccination which all required and at what age
