]]> This is a sweet video of Boomer the Golden Retriever in his puppy weeks.  A very nice mix of clips featuring some of Boomer’s favorite activities.  This HAS to be a water dog, just watching the scenes at the beach, playing with the water from the garden hose, feeling comfortable on a boat, catching the wind in his face.  And the sweet moments when he sleeps his exhausted sleep.  It must be satisfying to capture the early weeks of our puppies to watch again and again.  Maybe show it to our dogs, who actually often want to interact with the dog in the videos.

Characteristics of Golden Retrievers

Golden Retrievers are the “perfect family dog.”  They love everyone.  They especially love children. They are friends with strangers and new dogs.  They don’t have strong guarding instincts, so don’t rely on them to catch a burglar, according to Vetstreet.

Golden retrievers really love their people.  This is not a dog who like to stay home alone.  The best owners for them are active owners–singles, couples,  or families with someone who is home during the day, and enjoy spending time with them, exercising them. This is an active dog.

They also enjoy mental games.   A Golden starts the day with one thought: what are we DOING today?  Take him out for at least an hour a day (or break it up into segments) to jog or run with you, or run alongside your bicycle. However, until he reaches age 2, keep the exercise on the gentle side.  No jumping, no jogging, no steep climbs or descents.  This will protect his body until he’s fully developed.   He can swim, walk on soft surfaces like grass, easy hikes.  You can read more about Golden Retrievers here.  Enjoy watching Boomer the Golden Retriever in his early puppy weeks.  If you enjoy this video, you might also enjoy this one.

According to Dog Time, Golden Retrievers are affectionate with family, very kid friendly, dog friendly, and friendly toward strangers. They are probably not much of a guard dog.  They may greet a burglar. 🙂  Golden Retrievers like to be around their human family, so they need to live indoor.  However, given that they are a retriever breed, they need some serious physical activities. You can exercise them pretty hard for 40 to 60 minutes a day, providing physical and mental stimulation.  Even though they are very good with kids, because of their size, and because they can get boisterous, it can be easy for them to accidentally knock over a little child.  They are very social, their philosophy around pets are “the more the better” so they can be trained to hang around your other family pets.  You can read more about Golden Retrievers here.  Enjoy watching this Golden Retriever clearly letting his Dad know what he likes from him.
