It is easy to see how anyone could fall in love with the cute, furry face of a golden retriever puppy.\u00a0 They are always so playful and willing to cuddle which are the main traits that new dog owners are looking for in a puppy.\u00a0 But, with a life expectancy of up to fourteen years, adopting a golden retriever puppy is a life long commitment and should not be an impulse decision.\u00a0 Popular breeds like goldens can be easily found in many pet stores around your area.\u00a0 But, what some consumers do not understand is that many of the dogs sold at pet stores come from puppy mills.\u00a0 I have heard many people claim that if that were the case then they have saved their dog.\u00a0 Unfortunately the people who own these puppy mills do not see it like that.\u00a0 They see the money that came in for that dog and it gives them the opportunity to breed their pair again.\u00a0 Typically the dogs used for breeding at puppy mills are over bred, in poor health and spend their lives in a cage.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Another disadvantage to buying a puppy from a pet store is that you are not able to see the parents of the puppy you are purchasing.\u00a0 The traits of the parents are passed down to their puppies.\u00a0 A puppy from a calm, friendly dog will most likely be a calm, friendly adult as well.\u00a0 An aggressive dog will most likely produce an aggressive heir when they reach their adult years.\u00a0 Typically, private breeders love their breed and consider themselves experts.\u00a0 They can also offer their clients a ton of resources before and after they have made their purchase.<\/p>\n

Golden retriever puppies are typical to their breed standards.\u00a0 They are intelligent and energetic.\u00a0 They can easily be trained with positive reinforcement and by rewarding them with their love of food.\u00a0 But, golden puppies also love to chew so, you had better offer them their own chew toys or you will find you favorite pair of shoes is one mate short or your chair suddenly only has three legs.\u00a0 Golden retriever puppies should also be kept busy.\u00a0 Their highly intelligent nature can cause them to become bored.\u00a0 Left to fill their own time without activity, these dogs might choose to turn their boredom into frustration and destruction.<\/p>\n

On the bright side, goldens love human companionship, kids and other pets.\u00a0 They are an ideal dog for a family.\u00a0 They also make perfect guide dogs, search and rescue dogs and other types of service dogs.\u00a0 They love to play fetch in the yard or go on long walks.\u00a0 Their highly energetic nature allows them to be the perfect jogging, hiking or hunting partner.\u00a0 Placing your golden puppy into an obedience class will prove to be a wise choice for any dog owner.\u00a0 They are extremely willing to please their owners but can sometimes need the direction in order to do so.\u00a0 If you are considering purchasing a golden retriever puppy, make sure that you find the right breeder in your area.\u00a0 You can contact the American Kennel Club to find a golden retriever breeder near you.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
