These dogs were developed in the late 1800's and were first exhibited in 1908. They have a gentle mouth and will rarely snap or bite and are especially patient with children. Goldens are well mannered and intelligent dogs. They are easily trained, loyal, confident, sweet and eager to please. They thrive on human contact and can become mischievous if left alone for long periods of time. Daily exercise will keep these dogs happy. The smooth, medium length double coat is easy to groom. Pay special attention to the undercoat. They weigh 55 to 80 lbs. and stand 20-24" at the shoulders. Contact the dog breeders below for your next family friend.
