Hello everyone, welcome to a new video on my channel I'm Laura Londoño, veterinarian and zootechnician better known on social media as LauVet Today I have with me a very special video of some beautiful and adorable puppies and I'm sure this video will help you a lot if you ever thought of having a Golden Retriever or if you like the breed and want to learn more about this beautiful dog Today we're going to talk and go deeper into this breed I'm going to tell you several characteristics both behavioral and health that it is essential to know before having one of these puppies because many times we get carried away simply by the physical appearance of our puppy but we don't always investigate and inform ourselves about its behavioral characteristics, its basic needs and its health conditions So today I'm going to go a little deeper into this topic I'm going to tell you a lot of curious facts that without a doubt you will love and will help you a lot more to make the decision if the Golden Retriever is an ideal dog for your family So stay to see more in this video remember to subscribe to my channel in the part below, in the button where it says subscribe and don't forget to activate the notification bell so you don't miss any of my videos Let's start talking about the Golden Retriever and why I wanted to make a video about this dog because over the years it has become a puppy a very very very popular breed around the world thanks to the fact that they have a very docile character very tender and very social Without a doubt they are puppies with a very stable temperament they tend to be very balanced dogs most of the time they are very loving and they are dogs that are relatively easy to train they also have a great characteristic and that is that they are excellent with children obviously remember that socialization is essential for any dog and that's why in the first months of life we must socialize them very well with children and other elements or environment but the Golden is usually a very receptive dog that gets along very well with children so it is an excellent puppy for a house where there are children The Golden is usually a very loving dog very calm and it has a particularity and that is that it tends to be a dog that is easy to train because they are very intelligent and they are very receptive they are dogs and they are a very complacent breed that is to say that they enjoy pleasing their tutors their humans they like to learn so it is much easier to train them unlike other breeds that are not so complacent or they don't like to learn so much or be so receptive so they can be a little more stubborn The Golden is a dog that will be happy to learn new tricks commands and orders always in a positive and good way The Golden Retriever is a dog that is very playful in many stages of his life and this is something that we must keep in mind because in my experience as a veterinarian I have several Golden Retriever patients and I would dare to say that it is one of the breeds that in its adult age is more balanced and calm but that in the first year of life they are very very difficult they are a little stubborn they are restless they are very playful they are very bitey and this is something we must know because an adult dog does not become an adult by magic we have to go through a period of youth where they are puppies where they are very restless, very bitey and the Golden Retriever I think it takes the prize to be one of the most restless dogs in the first year of life they are dogs that have a lot of energy both the females and the males they tend to be too playful so we must keep this in mind because probably in the first months and the first year of life if you have a Golden you will have to spend a lot of time to train it to teach it new commands and orders so that it can be a balanced and obedient puppy when they reach adulthood the Golden is a very calm dog even in some occasions it can be a little more sedentary as it grows older but without a doubt it is a playful dog in any stage of its life so it is essential to have some basic commands to have some commands and tricks to educate our puppy so that it can be very balanced in its adulthood the Golden Retriever is an excellent dog that has been used around the world for assisted therapies for assisted intervention we can see that the Golden is a breed that is used a lot to assist people with disabilities so they are dogs that like to help, to learn and to accompany so that is one of the characteristics that attracts our attention and that is why it is one of the most popular breeds around the world the Golden Retriever is a medium-sized dog big, it is a dog that needs physical exercise daily they have a very beautiful particularity and that is that they are charging dogs that is to say that their ancestors and before were dogs used to charge prey that is to say, when they went hunting with their tutors their masters and their tutor hunted a prey for example, a bird the Golden was the one in charge of charging and collecting that prey in its mouth so the Golden has a need to have things in its mouth it loves balls, toys all the fluffy things or soft things, it loves to have them in its mouth, that is why it is an ancestor likewise, this condition of being charging dogs made them very delicate with their prey because the goal was not to kill the prey nor to destroy them nor to deteriorate them but simply to take them to their owner so they took the prey with a lot of delicacy and took it to its tutor so you will realize that the Golden loves to have things in its mouth and also this condition of charging dogs happened a lot in the water so let's go back to the same example when a hunter knocked down a prey, a bird and for example it fell in the water the Golden was the one in charge of going to collect or charge that prey swimming and taking the prey delicately and taking it to its tutor so they are also animals that by excellence are great swimmers they enjoy the water a lot they love the water they love to be wet and you will realize that if there is a river, a pool or the sea the Golden will be the first to be introduced so it is an innate ability and a necessity in them to be in contact with the water so many people will say I want a Golden but I don't want it to get into the water and even though we can get it used since it was a baby to not get into the water whenever it sees a pool or a river believe me it will be a little difficult because it is in its nature to want to be wet and to be in contact with the water constantly this is a breed that has a medium maintenance and I talk about maintenance when I refer to everything we have to do for its health in terms of brushing the Golden we can see that one of its characteristics is its beautiful golden hair so we must brush it constantly at least 2 or 3 times a week we must brush it to avoid knots, dermatological conditions and to maintain those characteristics it is also a dog that we must take care of overweight or obesity because it is one of the conditions that they suffer the most it is a dog that can easily gain weight and this can bring us other problems so we have to be very careful with the diet and the physical exercise that your hair has the Golden tends to be a very healthy dog it even has a life expectancy and it is a very long-lived dog it can last from 12 to 14 years it is a dog that has a high life expectancy considering that it is a big medium dog the bigger the dogs the less time they will last but the Golden without a doubt is a dog that tends to be very healthy throughout its life some predispositions that it has and that it is essential to know them since they are puppies number 1 we have the hip dysplasia and the elbow dysplasia they are very frequent joint alterations in the Golden so my recommendation is that since it is a puppy you can discard these conditions in your hair through radiography of hip and elbow to identify that it does not have this pathology because it is a pathology that develops since they are babies and it can be inherited from the mother or the father to the puppies so we are going to identify it from very early ages and in case your puppy suffers this disease we can start with some care and with some supplements also the Golden have a predisposition to suffer from cancer unfortunately it is one of the number 1 causes of death around the world in the Golden so you have to be very careful with your diet with your care to be able to prevent this disease in time and additionally to make an appropriate diagnosis so any abnormality any mass or tumor that you feel in your Golden it is important to go to your vet and we also have the eye problems the Golden can suffer from cataracts or problems in the retina they can lose their vision as their age increases so it is important to be very attentive to any change in the eyes of your Golden because they have that predisposition also to suffer from this condition as you can realize the Golden is a very loving dog very balanced remember that everything also depends on education and socialization but without a doubt it will be a great option for your family to accompany children families, people both sedentary and very active because the Golden is a dog that adapts very well to many environments and spaces you can have it from a small apartment as long as it has daily physical exercise and daily mental activity as well as you can have it in a house in a very large environment and it will also be very happy remember that it also depends on the care you give it the education you give it and all the time and love you dedicate to it so I hope you liked this
