Is it hard to take care of a golden retriever in a big apartment?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Golden Retrievers need a lot of room to run. They do better in vast open spaces, but as long as you give them a lot of attention, and bring them for many walks, they can live the apartment life. Just make sure to put your expensive stuff out of the dogs reach, cause the dog most likely will bite it.

How often should a 4 month old golden retriever eat?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Puppies, in general, should be fed three times a day, for at least the first year of life. Most commercially available, good-quality foods have feeding recommendations on the package, and are usually based on the age and weight of the puppy. For golden retrievers and other large breeds, many Vets recommend one of the large breed puppy foods which are designed to meet their nutritional needs without making them gain weight more quickly than their bones grow, which has been a problem with large breeds in the past. If your puppy doesn't want to eat, or seems to want to eat constantly, and doesn't seem to be thriving, this is cause for a trip to the Vet. At three months, he/she is due for a set of puppy vaccines, anyway, so a good time to talk to the Vet about diet.

Which is stronger golden retriever or labrador retriever?

User Avatar

Asked by Flagger

A pitbull would be physically stronger. Labradors are quite large, but they are not bred for the same physical qualities as a pitbull. Labradors are bred for retrieving game and companionship. Pitbulls are bred for catch-dog reasons. This requires greater physical strength as catch-dogs are sometimes used to take down cattle, hogs, and the like.

What Are Some Traits In A Good Guard Dog?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

my dog is only a year old but is very protective of my husband and i and our kids, as well as the other animals in the house. i believe good traits of a guard dog would be that they dont run when off leash, and when they do run, they come back when called. this shows that if for some reason you yelled for help, your dog would be there asap to help you. while laying in bed my dog often stares at the window when he hears something but doesnt bark. he lets us know when there is something out there by either growling or starring and completely freezing his body. basically it comes down to how well you have trained your dog. an untrained dog is less likely to guard you and your family but by training your dog to stay by your side, come when called the first time, and rewarding your dog when he/she barks but stops when they are told "its alright", your at better luck of having a good guard dog. im no professional but all this helped me. i trained my dog myself and he walks without a leash when he can and stays right by my side. i use the word"run" when i want him to go play, and he knows when i say "come" he is to return. hope this helps you, goodluck.

Can a golden retriever kill a person?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A golden retriever can kill a young deer, but not an adult deer, unless it's an adept hunter that has learned to hunt and kill deer for food (which is probable, especially if forced to survive in the wild). Adult deer have sharp hooves that can slash a dog pretty badly if it gets too close. Rutting bucks have sharp points on their antlers that can prove fatal to a dog if the points happened to gore the dog.

How do you train my 6 month old labrador and golden retriever mix puppy?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

You train a golden the same way as any other dog but if you want it to retrieve from the water it is complocated. the golden is bred to retrieve shot ducks from the water so have a fake duck or water toy duck and throw it into the water. have the dog by the color and when you release it, it will retrieve the toy. Praise the dog with a treat. Repeat this over and over ontil the dog can retieve on signal. Also the golden will have to be use to a gunshot sound and not run off when it hears it because they will.

What color are golden retrievers?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It depends on where you are! In Britain & Ireland, where the dog is originally from, it ranges from a light cream or champagne colour to to rich and lustrous gold. This is why it was named the Golden Retriever! However, when the dog was introduced to the US, show judges there changed their preference in colour to a darker shade, sometimes reaching a red/auburn as dark as the Irish/Red Setter. This often leads to confusion over the origin of the name in the US, as some people wonder why a red coloured dog is called golden.
