History of the Golden Retriever

The Golden Retriever breed has its origins in Scotland, where it was developed in the mid-19th century by Sir Dudley Marjoribanks, later known as Lord Tweedmouth. Marjoribanks was looking for a dog that could retrieve birds on land and water, and that was also loyal and obedient. He crossed several breeds, including the Tweed Water Spaniel, Irish Setter, Bloodhound, and St. John's Water Dog, to create the Golden Retriever. The breed was recognized by the Kennel Club of England in 1903 and by the American Kennel Club in 1925. The Golden Retriever quickly gained popularity in the United States and became one of the most popular breeds in the country. Today, they are still used as hunting dogs, but they are also commonly used as guide dogs, service dogs, therapy dogs, and search and rescue dogs.

Characteristics of the Golden Retriever

Appearance Golden Retrievers are medium to large-sized dogs, typically weighing between 55 and 75 pounds and standing 21 to 24 inches tall at the shoulder. They have a dense, water-repellent coat that can be various shades of gold, from pale to dark. Their coat requires regular brushing and occasional grooming to keep it in good condition. They have a muscular build and a friendly, intelligent expression. Temperament Golden Retrievers are known for their friendly and gentle temperament. They are highly social dogs that thrive on human companionship and attention. They are great family dogs and are known for their patience with children. Golden Retrievers are also highly intelligent and eager to please, which makes them easy to train. They are adaptable dogs that do well in a variety of environments, from apartments to larger homes with yards. Health Like all breeds, Golden Retrievers are prone to certain health issues. Some of the most common health issues in Golden Retrievers include hip dysplasia, elbow dysplasia, and eye problems such as cataracts and progressive retinal atrophy. It's important to have your Golden Retriever checked regularly by a veterinarian and to provide them with a high-quality diet and regular exercise to maintain their health and well-being.

Training and Exercise for Golden Retrievers

Training Golden Retrievers are highly intelligent and eager to please, which makes them easy to train. They are also very food-motivated, so using treats as rewards during training can be very effective. Positive reinforcement techniques such as praise and treats work well with Golden Retrievers, while punishment or harsh training methods can be counterproductive and even harmful to their sensitive nature. Golden Retrievers excel in obedience and agility training, and they also make great therapy and service dogs. They are often used as guide dogs for the blind and as emotional support animals. Exercise Golden Retrievers are energetic dogs that require regular exercise to stay healthy and happy. They enjoy a variety of activities, including walking, running, swimming, and playing fetch. It's important to provide your Golden Retriever with enough exercise to prevent boredom and destructive behaviors. A daily walk and playtime in a yard or park can provide sufficient exercise for most Golden Retrievers.

Grooming and Nutrition for Golden Retrievers

Grooming Golden Retrievers have a dense, water-repellent coat that requires regular brushing to keep it in good condition. Brushing their coat a few times a week can help prevent matting and keep their coat shiny and healthy. They also require occasional grooming, including trimming their nails, cleaning their ears, and bathing them as needed. Nutrition Golden Retrievers require a balanced diet to maintain their health and well-being. High-quality dog food that contains the appropriate balance of protein, fat, and carbohydrates is essential. It's important to follow feeding guidelines based on your dog's weight and activity level, and to avoid overfeeding, as Golden Retrievers are prone to obesity.

Conclusion

The Golden Retriever breed is a wonderful choice for families looking for a friendly, loyal, and intelligent dog. They have a rich history as hunting dogs and have since become one of the most popular breeds in the world. With proper training, exercise, grooming, and nutrition, your Golden Retriever can lead a happy and healthy life. As with any breed, it's important to provide regular veterinary care and to be aware of any potential health issues.

MAGIC

Wand Description/Picture:

English Oak, Unicorn hair, 14 inches

[A wand for good times and bad, this is a friend as loyal as the wizard who deserves it. Wands of English oak demand partners of strength, courage and fidelity. Less well-known is the propensity for owners of English oak wands to have powerful intuition, and, often, an affinity with the magic of the natural world, with the creatures and plants that are necessary to wizardkind for both magic and pleasure. The oak tree is called King of the Forest from the winter solstice up until the summer solstice, and its wood should only be collected during that time (holly becomes King as the days begin to shorten again, and so holly should only be gathered as the year wanes. This divide is believed to be the origin of the old superstition, ‘When his wand’s oak and hers is holly, then to marry would be folly,’ a superstition that I have found baseless). It is said that Merlin’s wand was of English oak (though his grave has never been found, so this cannot be proven).]

Relationships

Brother: Jacob Aidan Aries

Pureblood

January 14th

Slytherin

Spoiled by parents, was the favourite sibling

Jacob got everything he wanted because he followed everything his father wanted, also because he was male.

Jacob would do most of what his father wanted so that he could get what he wanted. He is cunning and therefore would take advantage of his fathers resources.

Hated his father for everything he was, but never showed it. Unlike Aleksia, he knew how to hide his hatred and play it smart.

He vowed one day he would be strong enough to get both Aleksia and him out.

When he went to Hogwarts, he befriended Duncan and Olivia Greene. He became obsessed with the Vaults.

When Duncan was eventually killed, he nearly lost it. He couldn’t believe one of his best friends died because of him.

Rakepick used his need for power and want to be strong enough to help his sister to manipulate him into continuing with the Vaults until his disappearance.

Got scars on his face from his encounter with the dragon

Father: William Lee Aries

Pureblood

brown hazel eyes

Slytherin

One brother and 2 half sisters

Met Aleksia’s mother, Leanna in a bar in Scotland while on a business trip.

Parents approved because of her Pureblood status and beauty, as well as the fact she was Slytherin

Married Leanna after she became pregnant with Jacob.

Demeanor changed after that. He became controlling and abusive

Very close with his family and often has them over.

They, like him are very judgemental and not good people. Very manipulative

They believe that blood must remain pure, and all the others were to be avoided.

Aries family females can develop an ice affinity, and if strong enough can conjure an ice guardian. Aleksia is the first female since her great grandmother who was able to produce a guardian.

He blamed Leanna when Jacob went missing, which lead to separation.

He eventually found a new wife, Emily, who was the perfect wife for him.

They had a son.

Mother: Leanna Mckinley Aries:

Pureblood

Brownish-red hair, brown eyes

Slytherin

Grew up in Scotland with 10 other siblings

When she became pregnant with Jacob, her and WIlliam married and moved to England.

Began to be abused both physically and emotionally when she did not listen. To avoid this she complied with most of what he wanted.

Leanna wasn’t allowed to see her family, being manipulated into thinking that she was unwanted

When she became pregnant with Aleksia, she wasn’t happy, knowing she would have to subject another child to the grasp of William.

She saw how Jacob was treated better than Aleksia, but thought she couldn’t do anything about it and would make it worse. She tried to teach Aleksia to just do what her father wanted and things would be alright. Aleksia was too head-strong for that.

Eventually left with Aleksia to Scotland after Jacob went missing.

She became very strict when it came to everything and they have a strained relationship still. Aleksia is still learning to trust her.

Background/History

Aleksia was born in England on December 10th, 1972 to parents William and Leanna. She grew up with her father, mother and brother Jacob, however, her fathers family was a big part of her life. From the time she was little she was seen as weak, not just because she was the youngest, but because she wasn’t like the rest of her family. Her entire family consists of Slytherins, with the exception of a couple of Ravenclaws. She is the only Gryffindor in the family, to which the whole family was shamed by. Her cousin Henry in particular hated Aleksia, and would often beat on her, which was allowed by the adults and seen as him playing and venting out his frustrations. Jacob was the only one who was on her side, but not all the time. She was often punished by her father and put outside, not being let in until morning. That is when she met Revena Sevier and Merric Nyx, who also were kids living on the streets. They all became very close, and would take care of each other. Revena and Merric were eventually adopted by a music shop owner, who would let Aleksia stay with them when she was put outside.

Aleksia and her mother eventually moved after Jacob’s disappearance, and moved to Scotland. William still had a hold of them financially, and still had a hold of them, but less. Aleksia’s mother became very controlling and protective after this, which made them butt heads alot. Aleksia didn’t completely trust her mother, since she often went with her fathers will and didn’t fight back. Even years after she was learning to trust her. Aleksia’s father would sometimes try to visit Hogwarts to leave notes and things for her to manipulate her or would try to see her.

When she went to Hogwarts and looking into the Vaults, she found that it gave her purpose. She found alot of great friends, and learned to truly trust people. She and Merula definitely had a problem with each other right away. Merula reminded Aleksia of her cousin Henry, and immediately had her guard up. They eventually get a mutual civility by sixth year. Not friendship, but civil relationship.

Henry went to Hogwarts for the first couple of years before being transferred to Durmstrang to learn more. During the years he was there, whenever they saw each other, he would try to jinx her and hurt her. She eventually had enough and attacked him, leaving him to go into the hospital wing.

It was after the ice vaults, that she started to develop her ice affinity, and began exploring her family background. From then on she often could be found studying ice glyphs and conjuring. By the time she was 18 years old, she was able to conjure an ice guardian for a short while, and by the time the war came, she was even stronger.She could conjure it and make return it whenever she wanted.

One time during her sixth year, she was forced to go to visit her father, and there he tried to tell her that she was going to have to get married right after Hogwarts. He had set up an arranged marriage. He blackmailed her, saying that he would make her life hell and that she needed to continue the family purity. When she returned to Hogwarts she isolated herself for days until she finally emerged from her room depressed and hopeless. Her friends came to her rescue and cheered her up.

MORE TO COME

Personality

Extroverted: Aleksia is very personable and enjoys being around people. She is able to charm most people with her upbeat personality. Of course this doesn’t mean that she doesn’t like her alone time. She loves it. However, if she is isolated for too long she gets depressed.

Stubborn and Hot Headed: Oh boy this girl is STUBBORN. She will not back down for most things. If she wants to make a point, she will stick with it and find evidence that it is true just to show she is correct. However, if someone shows her real evidence to the contrary, she will back down. She has gotten into fights before, but not for no reason. If someone messes with her or her friends she will get in their face. She has head butted Merula before for bullying Ben.

Reckless: She can be quite reckless and put herself into harm's way without thinking. She often pushes herself past her limits and is often needed to be reminded that she needs to take care of herself. Despite her being reckless, she is not reckless when it comes to others, only herself.

Hard working: She is an exemplary student and very intelligent. She excels in most classes and always seeking to learn new things. If she wasn’t in Gryffindor she most likely would’ve been placed in Ravenclaw.

Caring: She cares too much at times. She is so selfless that she always is looking after others and making sure they are looking after themselves. She will always help others in need no matter what. She even helped Ismelda with her crush despite the fact that Ismelda has been shitty to her, and despite the fact that Aleksia was in love with Barnaby.

Misc

This life is mine is her theme song

Has a will headbutt anyone who is an idiot to her or her friends.

She has headbutt Merula once for calling Ben a MudBlood.

Is smol but strong as hell

Sweets may or may not be her addiction. Especially chocolate.

Just wants all the hugs. GIVE HER HUGS PLEASE.

Total nerd. Sci-Fi, books...ya nerd XD

If you get close to her, she will consider you her child and she will protec

She can be reckless

VERY STRONG

Has a strong kick

Used to have a toy wolf, but her cousin and father ripped it apart.

For Aleksia’s 15th birthday, Barnaby purchases a plush wolf for her, which she absolutely treasures and cuddles with.

Aries family females have the ability to produce ice glyphs and if powerful enough ,can summon an ice guardian. Aleksia is the second one in the family that can conjure a guardian.

Barnaby and Aleksia wait until they are 24 to get married. Their wedding is sweet with close friends.

When death eaters were freed, Barnaby and Aleksia moved around quite a bit, knowing that Barnaby’s parents would look for him.

Aleksia’s cousin, Henry, joined the death eaters soon after.

Aleksia and Barnaby were separated after a death eater attack. Aleksia was found by Henry and he used the Cruciatus curse on her. He left her for dead bloodied and broken. She was found by Penny and Rowan, who Barnaby had contacted after the attack.

They end up having 3 children with Barnaby, Kieran and Kaia and youngest Faye.

Facts & Information About Golden Retriever Dog Breed You Should Know

Golden Retrievers are known for their distinctive hue, beautiful feathering, floppy ears, and cheerful dispositions. These water-loving, lively pups were developed to retrieve birds for hunters, but they're now content in a variety of jobs, from endless fetch with their owners to working as assistance dogs.

Golden Retrievers Origin and Features

Scotland is the country of origin of this dog breed, it’s average weight is between 65-75 pound, and the life span 10-12 years.

Overall appearance of a Golden Retriever

Although Golden Retriever dogs are golden, they come in a variety of colours, ranging from light golden to dark golden. They have feathering on the backs of their forelegs, the fronts of their necks, the backs of their thighs, and the bottoms of their tails. Their large floppy ears give them the appearance of an everlasting puppy.

You may be familiar with the tiny Golden Retriever, which has a puppy-like appearance, but did you know that the mini is a combination of various dog breeds and not a real Golden Retriever?

That lovely golden coat is a double coat, consisting of a water-repellent outer coat and a soft undercoat that regulates their body temperature in both cold and warm conditions.

You may anticipate your golden retriever to shed, much as other dogs with a double coat. Brushing a Golden Retriever monthly in the fall and spring, and daily during shedding months, is essential to avoid excessive blowouts. A Golden Retriever should only require baths on rare occasions if well groomed.

Personality of a Golden Retriever Dog

Golden Retrievers are calm, loving, and trustworthy dogs. These characteristics make them terrible security dogs but great family dogs. They're bright, eager to please, lively, energetic, and easily trained.

They're also prone to worry if left alone for lengthy periods of time, and they thrive with an active, demonstrative owner.

A Golden Retriever's Ideal Environment

A Golden Retriever dog requires a lot of exercise and loves to retrieve in wide places. This is why a golden retriever is ideally suited to a large yard or an owner who will often take them to an off-leash park. A Golden Retriever is a safe choice for a family pet if you have small children, especially if properly trained.

A Golden Retriever is an energetic, high-energy dog who requires regular exercise. This breed of dog requires daily activity (up to one hour), and the ideal pet parent is energetic and ready to provide it. Swimming, running, strolling, and (if you want to do less running) retrieve are all activities that Golden Retrievers like.

Golden Retrievers are perfect for similarly active owners who have lots of time for a dog BFF since they're so active and crave time with their family.

How to Train Golden Retrievers

While Golden Retrievers are known for being simple to teach and cooperative, a bored golden retriever is a mischievous golden retriever. These dogs don't do well when left alone for lengthy periods of time, and they're not pleased if you don't take them for a walk on a regular basis. Take care of their demands for proximity and physical exercise to get your training off to a good start.

Golden Retrievers, on the other hand, are very clever and eager to work for rewards, whether treats or praise, and they respond well to clicker training. Golden retrievers are well-suited for careers as assistance dogs, with some working in more demanding sectors such as search and rescue, because they excel at obedience training and are frequently eager for something more.

A word on training: Golden Retrievers are so pleasant and industrious that they will work themselves to exhaustion. Include water and rest intervals in your hard play and training, and supplement any strenuous training with mental exercises such as puzzle toys or hide-and-seek, or opt for lengthy calm walks.

Grooming and Care Required for a Golden Retriever Dog

Golden Retrievers have a double coat that is thick and water repellent, and they lose their undercoat in the spring and fall (or year-round in temperate climates). They may require regular brushing throughout seasonal shedding seasons to eliminate dead fur. Brushing once a week as maintenance for the remainder of the year should enough. Bathing your Golden Retriever on a regular basis can help keep him clean and remove shed fur. Golden Retrievers, like most dogs, should have their nails cut and their teeth brushed on a regular basis.

What Are Health Issues and Complications associated with Golden Retrievers

Golden Retrievers, like any other dog breed, are prone to specific health issues. Joint problems, like as hip dysplasia or elbow dysplasia, affects up to one-fifth of golden retrievers. Golden Retrievers are also more susceptible than other breeds to acquire the potentially fatal heart condition known as subvalvular aortic stenosis (SAS).

Many Golden Retrievers, however, succumb to cancer (such as hemangiosarcoma and osteosarcoma). Aside from any health issues, most people feel that owning a Golden Retriever is a delight to love and care for for as long as they are a member of the family. Many pet owners get pet health insurance as a precaution.

A note about ear care: golden retrievers' ears must be cleaned on a regular basis to avoid ear infections due to their shape. Consult your veterinarian about correct ear care and the best items to use for ear cleaning.

Instinct and History

Golden Retrievers were developed as hunting dogs in nineteenth-century Scotland, specialising in water and land retrieving. Breeders combined water spaniels and other retrievers to produce a dog that possessed the abilities of a golden retriever, particularly the ability to return uninjured ducks and other birds to their hunting masters.

The American Kennel Club (AKC) first recognised the breed in 1925, and it is currently one of the most popular dog breeds in the United States.

Getting a Golden Retriever is a big step.

Getting a Golden Retriever is straightforward, but you must be prepared. If you acquire a Golden Retriever puppy, you'll spend a lot of time on basic obedience training, socialising the puppy with other people and dogs, and teaching key behaviours like sleeping through the night and going to the toilet in the appropriate place.

A simple internet search can lead you a Golden Retriever puppy or adult dog, but be wary of puppy mills and internet frauds. Do your homework and ask around for recommendations for trustworthy breeders, pay a visit before committing to a payment, and follow your instincts.

Things You Didn’t Know English Cream Golden Retriever

The vast majority are as of now acquainted with the Golden Retriever – you know, the little dazzling dog embellished in a long, gleaming coat? Indeed, there are really a few kinds of golden retrievers, each differing in coat tone. One of the more extraordinary varieties is the English Cream Golden Retriever. It is uncommon to the point that, indeed, it is just perceived by British and Canadian specialists. This implies that the dog doesn't meet the American Kennel Club guidelines, and your dog may not be true in the States. Astonished? Peruse on to find more about your dog. If you looking for best pet grooming in delhi visit to our website

1. Cream tone doesn't mean prevalence

A few people consider the cream shade of a golden retriever to be by and large more alluring. Nonetheless, this doesn't really imply that a lighter-covered doggy is any way predominant or all around reproduced. Truth be told, it is fitting to give specific consideration to the reproducing program in the event that it focuses for the most part on shading. In the event that the raiser guarantees that the light creams are better or more significant than more obscure hued Golden Retrievers, odds are they are simply hoping to draw in more purchasers.

2. They are not really from England

Albeit the name recommends that this dog breed begins from England, all Golden retrievers can really follow their underlying foundations to Scotland. The vast majority of the current light covered Golden Retrievers are really reproduced in North America, while others are relatives of dogs imported from different European nations, Australia, New Zealand, and Scandinavia.

3. They are somewhat unique in relation to American Golden Retrievers

American Golden Retrievers were reproduced from English variations imported to the U.S through Canada, yet they created and developed uniquely in contrast to their English partners. This is especially in light of the fact that they were reproduced by the AKC norms rather than the UK principles. The English Cream Golden Retriever accompanies:

A straighter top line

A seriously projecting chest

A more obscure nose

Rounder eyes

A more extensive head

A heavier, stockier form

Also, obviously, a for the most part lighter coat tone

The American Golden Retriever includes a slanting back end, more lightweight appearance, and for the most part hazier eyes.

4. They have a long history

As indicated by the Golden Retriever Club of Canada, the cream tone was acquainted with the English Standard back in 1936. Notwithstanding, it was simply following quite a while of particular reproducing that the lighter examples were sanctified through water "English Cream Golden Retrievers". These light-hued examples pass by a few other various names today. These incorporate White Golden Retrievers, Platinum Blond Goldens, White Goldens, Light Golden Retrievers, Blond Golden Retrievers, European Golden Retrievers, and English Golden Retrievers. While the American Kennel Club perceives that there are different shades of Golden Retrievers, it firmly debilitate dominating body colors that are either excessively dull or excessively pale, for example, is the situation with English Cream Golden Retrievers. If you are searching best dog grooming in delhi contact to whoof whoof.

5. They are somewhat more grounded than American Golden Retrievers

A specific report indicated that American Golden Retrievers were more vulnerable to different diseases than the English Cream Golden Retriever. These diseases incorporate osteosarcoma, pole cell tumors, lymphosarcomas, and hemangiosarcomas. American Goldens had a 61.8 percent possibility of gaining the diseases while the English bloodlines were just 38.8 percent helpless. The investigations additionally uncovered that the English Cream Goldens had a normal future of 12 years while their partner American goldens found the middle value of 10 years and 8 months. Nonetheless, this doesn't imply that the English Cream is insusceptible to disease and will satisfy its excellent age. Everything relies upon great rearing. The mystery is basically a blend of nature and sustain, which means great qualities and ideal consideration by a capable proprietor.

Book Review: Last One at the Party by Bethany Clift

Just brilliant!!! I love post apocalyptic books and I have to say that this book is fantastic. It’s just the type of book that captures your imagination. This book is very different from the usual post apocalyptic books I’ve read, there are no zombies, aliens or genetically modified nanites. I have to say that the ending of the book isn’t what I expected at all. It’s a book I could read again. The book is up to date with what has happened during the 2020 Covid-19 and Brexit as they are mentioned in the book. To say that we are already living with a pandemic this book isn’t depressing as some people might think.

A pandemic break out in Kansas and it soon sweeps though out the world. The UK cut’s its self off from the rest of the world hoping to keep the virus away from its shores.

But in November 2023 the virus 6DM (Six Days Maximum) which is the longest time your body has once you’ve caught it. However one woman seams to be surviving, while everyone dies around her even her husband.

Once the lone survivor has lost her husband, she starts to realise that she appears to be the only person still alive. So she goes on a shopping spree in Harrods, drinking expensive champagne as she stacks trollies with designer things, expensive food along with anything that takes her fancy.

One she’s loaded up her car she goes to her best friends house to see if he’s still alive. But like everyone else he was dead. She found him in bed with two hot guys and a huge bag of cocaine. So she knew that he at least went out in the way he wanted.

She decided that she would stay there as his place was far nicer than her’s. He had all the mod cons as well as his own night club in the basement so for a while she went on a cocaine and alcohol binge.

One day she realises that she needs to go to the TV studio as it was still broadcasting. Once she arrived there it was obvious that someone had thought of everything. The doors were open and someone had kindly put up posters pointing the way to the way to the studio.

She ends up cussing herself that she wasted so much time feeling sorry for herself in her drug and alcohol haze instead of seeing if someone else had survived.

When the power finally went out she knew she had no other choice but to leave London and go in search of other survivors.

On her travels she wasn’t totally alone as she found a golden retriever that was half starved, as it was still locked up in a house. She released the dog thinking the dog would just go off and fend for himself, but he just kept trying to follow her. So she picks him up and puts him in the car with all of her supplies.

They travel all the way up to Scotland stopping every so often to beep the car horn to see if anyone is still out there. Most of this is done in a haze of Tramadol as she finds that she needs it to keep on going.

The journey isn’t that easy as she comes across different obstacles, such as getting caught in a snow storm, running from giant rats or packs of dogs. When she finally meets another person they threaten to shoot her.

She keeps on wondering as to the point of going on trying to keep herself alive. When she realises something, which changes her mind. She heads off to a place that she has been to before an eco cabin in the country that she know she could try and make as her home.

Will she always be on her own will she finally find other survivors??

This is a brilliant book. I like others would like to know about some of the missing pieces, so we can only hope that the author is able to do that in another book if we are lucky.

I loved this book so much that I have ordered a Signed Hardback Edition from Waterstones and I can’t wait for it to arrive!

Pages: 400, Publication Date: 4 February 2021, My Rating: 5⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The Different Colors and Types of Golden Retrievers

If you have been lately thinking of choosing a Golden Retriever, you have certainly realized that they do not all look alike. Many are short and muscular with a firm, flowing coats, while some are slimmer, taller, and possess short, thin coats. The colors of those puppies as well vary broadly. This could trigger a few severe misunderstandings once you’re looking to select a Golden Retriever dog.

What Can Cause These Variations? And Exactly How Are You Able To Predict What Your Puppy Dog Will Look Like If He Matures?

You may be amazed to know there are actually three variations of the Golden Retriever breed of dog. The differences among each type of Golden Retriever breed happen to be mainly aesthetic and also have happened naturally through the breeding operation.

In spite of some common myths, the entire group of Golden Retriever has a similar general temperament, and there are no significant health differences. Whichever variety of Golden Retriever breed you ultimately choose, you could expect a fun-loving individuality, above-average thinking ability, athletic build, and extraordinary loyalty.

Even though Golden Retrievers had been primarily bred to deal with the rainy weather and rugged landscape of the Highlands through Scotland, they already have since turn into one of America’s more popular breeds of dogs.

It doesn’t matter if they are hunting, accomplishing search-and-rescue quests, being employed as guides for the blind, or simply cuddling on your couch, Golden Retrievers are recognized for being as strong and hardworking as they are devoted and lovely.

You would be hard-pressed to find somebody who has not heard about this breed of dog before, yet here’s what you might not know: one can find three different types of Golden Retrievers. Although differences are minor, this is what would make Canadian, British, and American Golden Retrievers unique from one another.

Canadian Golden Retriever Breed

In contrast to British and American Golden Retrievers, Canadian Golden Retrievers own golden coats, which are usually shorter and thinner when compared to their counterparts’ coats. Based on the Golden Retriever Club of Canada, the feeling of a Canadian Golden Retriever’s hair is commonly not quite as hard as those of a short-haired puppy nor smooth as those of a setter, with much less feathering versus the other two kinds. The normal adult male of Canadian Golden Retriever Particular breed of dog is generally 23 to 24 ins in height, and females Canadian Golden Retriever doggies often measure 21.5 to 22.5 in tall.

British Golden Retriever Breed

English (or British ) Golden Retrievers enjoy the long, feathery coats which make it distinctive one of this breed of dog, yet in contrast to Canadian and American Golden Retrievers, English Golden Retrievers normally have cream-colored coats, according to The Kennel Club. These coats could be flat or curly, yet will often have lots of feathering. British Golden Retrievers are somewhat smaller than the other two types, with adult males measuring commonly 22 to 24 in tall, and females typically 20 to 22 inches tall.

American Golden Retriever Breed

Based on the Golden Retriever Club of America, American Golden Retrievers happen to be the most easily identified puppies of Golden Retrievers due to their very own color, which can be rich, lustrous golden of numerous tones. Their very own dense coats am often neither coarse nor soft and lie near to their bodies, with more heavy feathering on the throat, thighs, leg, and tail. Similar to the Canadian Golden Retriever, the normal adult male of American Golden Retriever Particular breed of dog is generally TWENTY-THREE to 25 ins, and females American Golden Retriever doggies often measure 21.5 to 22.5 in tall.

Realizing Golden Retriever Coat Colors

The other main variable you will discover between Golden Retrievers is definitely their coat color. Almost all Golden Retrievers possess coats that fall in the golden spectrum, whether it’s gold,super-light cream shades, or possibly a dark golden. As outlined by breed standards, Golden Retrievers must not have coats that are mahogany or reddish in color.

The appropriate range of colors is especially essential for show puppies. Golden Retrievers with coats that fall outside of the breed common can’t be authorized with the (AKC) American Kennel Club or simply participate for titles. Whilst the right color of gold is extremely appealing; you may even now find young puppies in many different tones.

A few Final Thoughts

While there are numerous different types of Golden Retrievers, the real main difference between them is the way that they can look. Their figure, size, and as well, color can vary, nevertheless no matter what type you select, you could be sure he will stay remarkably smart, caring, friendly, and straightforward to train. Your new Golden Retriever would be the perfect family dog and will act as your loyal pet for years to come.

#GoldenRetriever #ShowQuality #American Golden #Retriever #Puppies #Siliguri #Video: Youtube: #Boskyskennel Golden Retrievers are #obedient, #playful, and #intelligent. In addition, they have a well-mannered #temperament, making them great #familypets. They are extremely #active and are always #happy to go on a walk. This breed tends to mature slowly and maintains a silly #puppy #personality for many years after they're grown. If you are searching for a family dog, there is a good chance that you have come across a Golden Retriever. Golden Retrievers are great family dogs and they come in different variations of coat color. The Golden Retriever that has very light colored coat – almost white – is referred to as English Cream Golden Retriever, English Golden Retriever or White Golden Retriever. While the traditional Golden Retriever with a bright brown colored coat are called American Golden Retrievers. These two Golden Retrievers are pretty much the same; however, there are a few subtle differences between them. If you plan to get Golden Retriever, it is best to understand those differences and choose the Golden that you think is best for you American Golden Retrievers and English Goldens are the same breed. Both lines descended directly from the original Golden Retrievers of Lord Tweedmouth in Scotland. Both American Golden and English Golden are recognized by American Kennel Club ( AKC) as Golden Retriever There are few differences between an American Golden Retriever and an English Golden Retriever. The reason these differences are seen is because of the way the Golden Retrievers are bred. Several different dog breeds were introduced by Scottish breeders into the mix to develop a Golden Retriever that we love today. The color difference likely comes because of the diverse genetic background of this breed. American Golden Retrievers have lustrous, rich golden of various shades in their colors. On the other hand, an English Golden Retriever has cream like shades in their colors. In addition to color, there are some minor differences in the physical structure of these dogs. The head structure of an American Golden Retriever is arched and broad-skul (at Bosky's Kennel) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_gEY6lB6nu/?igshid=1alzj179ffect

What They Are Like to Live With

If you like playing fetch (and, especially if you like playing it for hours), you’ll love having a Golden Retriever. Eager, loving, intelligent and playful, these dogs have boundless energy and very few behavior problems.

Golden retrievers are loaded with confidence and good vibes. They are not particularly aggressive, territorial, manipulative or destructive. However, like Labrador Retrievers, they can be a little boisterous and intense as puppies, chewing furniture and retrieving an endless assortment of unwanted objects. Not to worry: These traits will mellow after a few years.

The best way to manage this hyperactivity is to keep them running. Golden Retrievers love to play outdoors, swim and fetch balls and sticks, not to mention roll around in the mud. And they’re always game for a cross-country run or to follow you during a bike ride.

Goldens love to carry things around in their mouths – and not just tennis balls. If they find something they like, e.g., a stick, a toy or a shoe, they’ll carry it around for days. Inevitably, these objects will become very slobbery.

Not the best guard dogs, Golden Retrievers are friendly and wide-eyed with strangers. But, they have been known to bark once or twice when someone comes to the door.

Things You Should Know

Golden Retrievers love tasks and challenges. They are also quick learners and eager to please. But, keep in mind: Goldens will keep going until they collapse. Be sure to monitor their fatigue levels, whether they’re hunting, retrieving or performing obedience trials.

Never the types to fixate on a single person, Goldens get along with the whole family and are especially patient and outgoing with children. However, a high-energy Golden Retriever (especially a young one) can accidentally bump into or knock over a child during play.

Like most dogs their size, Golden Retrievers normally live between 10-12 years. Common health problems include hip dysplasia and skin allergies. Plenty of exercise and moderate rations of food will keep them healthy for years to come.

Golden Retriever History

In 19th century Scotland, a surplus of waterfowl and game—along with improvements in long-range firearms—created the need for sturdier and more powerful retrievers for the region’s avid hunters. Golden Retrievers were the result, bred from a mix of retrievers, setters, spaniels and bloodhounds. First registered as “Flat Coats – Golden” by England’s Kennel Club in 1903, they eventually received AKC recognition in 1925 and are today one of the most popular breeds in America.

10 Interesting Facts About Golden Retrievers

The Golden Retriever is one of the friendliest dog breeds. They make good house pets but they are not reliable house guards because they tend to make friends with everyone, including strangers! They originated from Scotland during the 19th century. Dudley Coutts Marjoribanks, a hunting enthusiast and dog lover, crossbred a regular Retriever with the now extinct Tweed Water Spaniel. This resulted to the very first Golden Retriever. Golden Retrievers have a long life span. Their life span is about 11 to 12 years, longer than the life expectancy of other dog breeds. Records show that they used to live up to 16 years of age, but their average lifespan has been dropping since the 1970s.Goldies are susceptible to cancer. Medical studies show that 61% of Golden Retrievers will develop cancer during their lifetime. Inbreeding and genetic factors are said to be the cause.They ranked 3rd on America’s favorite dog breeds. According to the American Kennel Club (AKC), Golden Retrievers placed 3rd on the most popular dog breed in 2018, after German Shepherds (2nd), and Labrador Retrievers (1st).Two American presidents owned Goldies during their term. President Gerald Ford’s pet was named Liberty, while President Ronald Reagan’s pet was named Victory.There are three types of Golden Retrievers. They are classified according to their shades of gold: Golden, Light Golden, and Dark Golden.They are prone to separation anxiety. One of the biggest challenges in owning a Golden Retriever is their clinginess and their tendency to get easily depressed. Their separation anxiety is triggered by sudden routine changes such as extended work schedules or moving to a different house.Golden Retrievers know how to care for other animals, even cats. Goldies are unlike other dog breeds who are hostile towards cats and other rival pets. They can show affection and treat other animals as their own siblings.They hold the world’s record for the loudest bark. A Golden Retriever named Charlie is the record holder for the world’s largest bark. His bark produced 113 decibels and can be compared to the loudness of rock music. Golden Retrievers have the softest bites. Their mouths are said to be so soft that they could carry fragile things such as eggs without breaking them. Truly, Golden Retrievers can easily make anyone fall in love with them. They are extremely popular because of their charm and can often be seen on the big screen. They are the perfect breed for first-time dog owners because they are very sociable and easily trained. Once you own a Goldie, they will capture your hearts and they will immediately become your favorite. Read the full article
