Por que los Golden Retriever son como son?

You have to be from another planet to not love the Golden Retrievers. Their playful and friendly character has made them one of the most popular canine breeds in the world. But did you know that they were not recognized as a breed until 1925? Today we will analyze why the Golden Retrievers are as they are. Number 1. Purpose of the breed. All dogs are herd animals, and although some breeds can handle them very well alone, the Golden Retrievers are not one of them. Apart from the herd mentality that accompanies all dogs, it is important to remember the Retriever part of their name. The Golden Retrievers were raised to accompany humans who needed to recover prey from the water or on land while hunting. Unlike the Beagles, which helped hunters with a whole horde of Beagles, the Retrievers working are no more than two. Their herd is essentially the hunter and his family, and this is something to take into account. From there many characteristics of the breed will be detached. Now it will be very easy for you to understand why the Golden Retrievers are so super attached to their family. These sociable dogs need the interaction of other dogs or with you. Without it they can get depressed or even develop a disorder known as separation anxiety. Separation anxiety develops when a Golden Retriever has been left alone, so often that he has begun to feel abandoned by the herd. It is one of the worst fates that exist for them since his instinct tells him that he should be part of a group, which simply does not happen. Separation anxiety is the terminology for a state in which the loneliness of a dog has become a kind of bad habit. A Golden Retriever in this state can bark constantly and try to prevent his father or mother from leaving. In more extreme cases they can become destructive. This is a family dog breed and they need to socialize to feel good. Therefore, it is not advisable that they live alone indoors or outdoors. They are not made for that. If you have to be absent for more than 4 hours in a row, consider the possibility of hiring a nanny or a nursery. So that your furry friend can do his needs and relate to others. Arriving late a few times will not harm your Golden. You just want to pay more attention to him when he gets home. And as he learns this, he will learn to trust that you will always come home. The problem is when isolation becomes something habitual, so you have to be very careful that this does not happen. Modern Golden Retrievers like to spend time outside, but only when they have company. Which actually makes them an indoor dog. While it is true, there are some Golden Retrievers that live in a farm and make their home in a barn. But you have to remember that in a farm there is daily work and these dogs will obtain their social interaction in this way. Golden Retrievers are the result of a cross between a Tweed Water Spaniel and a Yellow Flat Coated Retriever. We can still find Yellow Flat Coated Retrievers, but the Tweed Water Spaniels have already extinguished. They inherited a double coat. The inner layer keeps them warm, while the outside is waterproof. By their origins, you will see that they are dogs that tolerate low temperatures well, but not high ones. If you look closely at their paws, you will see that they have membranes between the fingers that help them swim better. In addition, they have a long tail that helps them navigate better in the water. This makes them one of the best aquatic dogs, something that they love. Due to their kind and sensitive character, Golden Retrievers are the best therapy dogs. They are used a lot in hospitals and clinics to bring joy and comfort to patients, helping them in their recovery. Golden Retrievers have a great desire to please their owners and they love to eat. This makes training them very easy. That is also why they are so popular in television programs and movies.
