I have been a dog groomer for over 20 years and have shaved many golden retrievers. There is a risk though of changing their coat, it could grow back thicker and it might not grow back in at all. It is not possible to determine ahead of time and it seems the shorter you shaved double coated dogs, and the more often you shave them the greater the chance of changing the coat. That being said, if your dog swims all the time and has hot spots and problems from staying wet all the time it may be worth the risk to you. I have many clients who are aware of the risk and chose to shave them anyway.

What is the difference between a Poodle and a Golden Retriever?
Poodles are small and very loud and loving animals. While Golden Retrievers are larger dogs who are actice and also loving animals. I would choose a Golden Retriever any day but they do shed their fur quite alot.... You got it right on the shedding part(I would know. I have one.) , but golden retrievers need a bath more frequently than a poodle. But poodles also need to be combed ad brushed more.
