Asked by Wiki User

Well, some people think so, but officially the Border Collie is the smartest. While, the poodle is in second. I personally have known some stupid poodles. I think that the golden should be high on the list because of their quickness to pick up on lessons.

Are golden puppies supposed to have bent tails?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

not likely - they have tails like otters maybe slightly bent The above answer is very true. A Golden Retriever is never supposed to have any bend in it's tail. It should be quite long and completely straight, like a otter's, as said above. It needs to have this rudder shape so the dog can swim quickly and easily when retrieving game!

What are good names for a boy golden retriever?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

These are not good names, to say nothing of the fact Blackie is not PC or is racist, whichever you prefer. And Hannah is spelled wrong. Leather? You're going to go "Here, Leather"? Tyra is also racist, so would Rihanna and Oprah be . My two are:Ulee (Ulee's Black Gold is the AKC name, reference is to the movie Ulee's

Gold--1997--with Peter Fonda)

and Ross (My Best Friend is the AKC name and Ross is a character on "Friends")

I'll be happy to suggest others, with some associations that make sense.

Dirty? Stone? How about Darth Vader? or River Styx? I mean, really!

What happens when you mix a golden retriever and a dachshund?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

== == A Bluemation? A Dalheeler? Blue Heelers were crossed with Dalmatians in the late 19th century to improve their relationship with horses (horses, like people, do not like getting their heels nipped). This is why heelers are born-white, and why some of them are rather spotty. See the related link. So a blue heeler-dalmatian cross would be a slightly more dalmatiany-heeler. But what about a red heeler dalmatian cross? a redalmatian?

Their paws can give you an idea of how big they are going to be, and their ears are usually closest to their color when they mature. The best way of telling is seeing their parents and what they look like.

Scientific name for black lab - golden retriever mix?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

All dogs belong to the genus, species, and subspecies "Canis lupus familiaris." In other words, dogs are a subspecies of wolf ("Canis lupus"). Scientifically or in terms of taxonomy, breeds of dogs are not separate subspecies at all since all breeds have the potential of producing offspring with any other breed (and with wolves, actually). Thus, there is no formal scientific nomenclature for any breed, such as Labrador retriever.

In part, this is because breeds are not only genetic but also (human) cultural.

In the United States, purebred Labrador retrievers can come in three colors called black, chocolate, and yellow. (There is no such thing as a "silver" or "golden" Labrador.) Labradors are classified as Sporting Dogs by the AKC (called Gundogs in the U.K.). They originated in the 1700s in what is now Newfoundland from a breed that is now exctinct called the St. Johns Dog or Water Dog. Labradors are closely related to Newfoundlands (Newfies).

Why does your dog have bald spots?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Could be from a number of reasons such as severe flea infestation, bad grooming, mange, etc. Best bet is to take it to the vet to get a skin scrape done in case it is mite mange which is spreadable to other canines and will progressively get worse.

Can you get a shorthaired golden retriever?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No. Goldens have medium-length hair with varying amounts of feathering. (Feathering is longer hair on certain spots ... Google some images of Golden Retrievers and you will see differences in the amount of feathering.)

If you want a short-haired retriever get a Labrador Retriever .. they have short hair all over without feathering. (Labs are more energetic and somewhat less easier to train than Goldens though.)

Just a thought .... but if you are looking for a "shorthaired Golden" because you think short-haired dogs shed less .... that is NOT at all true!! That is a persistent myth for some strange reason but it has absolutely NO basis in reality. Short hair does NOT mean the dog will automatically shed less.

In fact, most short-haired dog breeds shed far MORE than Goldens ... examples are Dalmations and Corgis. Both those breeds shed FAR more than Goldens ... they just shed a lot of shorter hairs! Another fact is that most non-shedding breeds also happen to have the LONGEST hair ... like Maltese and Shih Tzu breeds.

A dog's cycle varies depending on the dog. Most dogs are in heat for about three to four weeks. The bleeding will last anywhere from 3 to 14 days. After the bleeding stops the dog can still get pregnant for about two weeks.
