Are Golden Retrievers good at dog agility competitions?

A dogs ability to perform agility doesnt always depend on the breed, but more with the dogs personality. When performing agility your dog must be focused on you at all times. Some use favourite toys or treats to maintain the dogs focus. Any breed can perform agility, and have the potential to perform it well. Though to answer your question more directly, on average, Golden Retrievers do well in agility due to there high energy levels, eagerness to please, and natural speed and grace (afterall they were bred as working dogs). Additionally, there high intelligence makes them fast learners. Once again though it all boils down to the dogs personality. Agility isnt for every canine.

Seizures in 14 yr old golden retriever?

my 14 1/2 year old golden retriever had a seizure a few weeks ago.
i was lucky enough to be in the same room when it happened because his whole body shook violently for what felt like 10 minutes and he emptied his bowels and bladder.
he recovered but he started walking into things.
i got him to the vet within the hour and vet told me he had gone blind.
she explained there could be many causes and one of them could be a brain tumor.
my dog was deteriorating for about the past 18 months from super stiff back legs but was otherwise healthy and happy.
however a few weeks before the seizure i awoke to found him covered in his own urine and feces. i suspect he had been having seizures every few weeks since the summer began.
but i believe they were always in the middle of the night or were very minor seizures.
i am glad i was taken by surprise by the final seizure because i instructed the vet to euthanize him without delay.
i am a vegan and my dog was aging very badly at about 10 so I switched him off of dog food (i used organic senior plan stuff) and fed him 90% organic grains, vegetables, beans, hummus, etc. plus some animal foods.
within a week his arthritis improved so much i was in shock.
it stayed like that until he was almost 13 so i think diet is 90% of the battle but whenever i mention a vegan diet for a dog to a vet it never goes well.
anyway i saw this post so all i can recommend from my own non-professional and unscientific experience is to feed the dog alot of organic brown rice with vegetables and organic meat/fish (alot of rice/ much less veggies and flesh).
massage helps.
and personally i would see how that helps ...
my feeling is that most vets love animals but that western medicine is a long slow road to heartbreak.
i actually had my dog on a macrobiotic diet for humans and that info can be googled. he loved seaweed by the way.
i also gave my dog cetyl-m joint supplement the last year and 1/2 of his life (about 5 - 15 tablets a day) and that seemed to help a lot.
but alas... western medicine has not even begun to grasp the potential of rejuvenative medicine except for some stem cell stuff that does not seem ready for prime time.
that is all i can share and i hope your dog lives forever.

What is SEO And what's the benefit of SEO?

Search engine optimization, or SEO, is the act of altering or optimizing your website and it’s content in order that search engines deem it to be relevant and useful to certain topics. You are able to select the most appropriate topics through the use of certain keywords in your website.

In order to determine your position on the SERPs, search engines use their own algorithms. While nobody knows for absolute certain what these algorithms are it is widely accepted that your website needs to be easy to navigate, popular and relevant.

Easy navigation means that your site should have text links to each of its pages. If you use a flash menu system then you should include a sitemap in order that search engines and visitors can quickly and easily find their way around the whole of your website.

Relevance is judged by your content. By including the keywords you place in the metatags of your site throughout the body of your content and in certain places within your site you are indicating to the search engines that your website contains relevant information.

By combining these factors you can effectively convince search engines that you deserve to be near the top of their SERPs. However, this can take time and a lot of effort if you don’t fully understand what you are doing.

Where can you buy a miniature Golden doodle dog in Maryland?

This person is a jackass. Many people with allergies do very well with poodle crosses and this breed (yes - there are true breeders who are respectable - see goldendoodles.com) are smart, family friendly pets.

Try the local animal shelter? You're talking about a mixed breed, so the best bet is to save a life, and not contribute to backyard breeders who are creating designer mutts.

Are mini golden doodles good for people with allergies?

Maybe, but only a little, because they shed less than many dogs because they inherit the coat from a poodle. But it is mainly the dander that causes allergic reaction, not the hair itself.

There are ways to minimize the allergic effects of a pet in the home: frequent brushing and shampooing of the pet, use of HEPA filtration in an air purifier and vacuum cleaner, daily vacuuming of carpets and furniture. Also keep the pet out of your sleeping area if at all possible, and open your windows frequently to air the home. Taking an antihistamine daily is another option.
