Golden retrievers are so popular, it's funny because most people don't have them for their original purpose, which was to retrieve ducks and game birds during hunting trips.
I used to have one when I was really young. Are golden retrievers easily trainable?
Yeah, one of their big selling points is how easy it is to train them basic or advanced obedience standards.
That is great. I was thinking of getting one. Do they need a lot of room to run around?
Yes they need substantial outdoor exercise, but make sure to have a fenced area because they like to roam.
Where does the breed originate from?
I'm not sure, I think maybe an ancestral retriever breed from Europe. I do know that the breed is the third-most popular family dog in the US though.
Do golden retrievers have an distinguishable features?
I would say their classic dense inner golden coated fur, as well as their outer coat that lies flat against their bodies is quite distinguishable.
