What is it like to raise a Golden Retriever?
Golden Retrievers are very intelligent and loyal dogs, and if you want a large-breed dog they are an excellent choice. But raising one requires consideration of several factors. First, Goldens are large and need enough living space; if your home is cramped, a smaller breed such as a Poodle or Pomeranian is advisable. Second, they have a big appetite and need nutritionally balanced, rich dog food to stay healthy and grow well. Finally, they are energetic and need enough daily exercise to remain healthy, so plan on daily outings.
