How can you pick a good golden retriever?

First do tons of research and find a good dog. If you do not, you may end up getting a dog that you can't handle and have to call a dog whisperer. Look on the internet or news paper to find a breeder who is selling that breed. If the breeder acts strange, such as not letting you see the mother or father, or not letting you see the room with the puppy at all. It is probably a puppy mill. This is illegal in most places. The pups that come from there usually have many defects and problems throughout their life. Please be cautious about these places.

How do golden retrievers hunt?

They hunt both upland game and waterfowl.

Waterfowl are hunted primarily by watching where the birds have fallen and swimming out and retrieving them. The sense of smell is not used that much.

Upland game is hunted by scent. The dog will run back and forth in front of the hunter looking for the scent of a bird, either, picking up its scent over the air or tracking it on the ground. After shooting the bird the dog will run out and retrieve the bird or if it is a cripple chase it down and retrieve it.

The Golden Retriever's nose is exceptionally strong and one of the things that make this a great hunting dog.

What are good names for a boy golden retriever?

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!

Here are some good names for black cocker spaniels that i thought of: Licorice, Blackie(I know it's typical), Stormy, Sammy, Buddy, and Casey. Hope this helps! :)Female: Stone

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

== == 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?
