2. Introduction of Golden Retriever

　　When it comes to the Golden Retriever, one has to talk about the previous generation of TA, the Flat-haired Retriever. In fact, the flat-haired retriever is basically not much different from the golden retriever, it is the black-haired golden retriever. But since the golden retriever was bred, the light of the flat-haired retriever has slowly disappeared in our eyes.

　The breeder of the Golden Retriever is a very clever man. He wanted to create a model of Gunhound in Scotland. What he fancy at the time was a variant of the flat-haired retriever. TA was the only one in a group of black flat-haired retrievers. He tried to breed this golden flat-haired hound with a black one, but he couldn't produce a golden one.

 Later, he mated with a flower-colored Springer water dog and finally got more golden yellow. The dog did not come back to breed with the flat-haired retriever. In the end, he got the golden retriever we see now, and this man later became a king.

　　When the Golden Retriever was first bred, it was to retrieve waterfowl, which is a breed that works on the water. TAs are good at swimming and love to swim very much.

Going further, talk about how the earliest hunting hounds were bred. The earliest humans to breed hunting hounds were actually very cruel. They hungry these dogs to death in the winter, and then took the TAs on the boat and then threw the fish into the cold water to let these dogs. The dog jumped into the water. When these dogs bite the fish in the water, they couldn’t eat it directly.

They had to use their paws to help. So the nearest land was on the boat, and the TAs would swim back. If you can’t climb up, the person who nurtures them will take away the fish in their mouths first, and then help them get on the boat, give them a small piece of fish, and then throw the big fish out for them to pick up.

Those who can't swim are eliminated, those who swim too slowly are eliminated, those who dare not go into the water are eliminated, those who refuse to let go are eliminated, those who freeze to death are eliminated, and so on. Finally, the retriever was successfully bred, and the earliest retriever was working on the water. The remaining characteristics are "high obedience", "friendliness", "gluttony", "sensitive", "good water", and "tough".

　Third, The Characteristics of the Golden Retriever

Are golden retrievers a good pet?

　　The Golden Retriever Hound is very fortunate to have retained all the characteristics of its ancestors, and there are two more: "smart" and "love to wag its tail". So now we analyze several characteristics of TA.

　(1) Highly obedient and friendly

What is special about golden retrievers?

　　These two characteristics make the Golden Retriever Retriever become the 10 most popular dog breeds in the world because TA can be competent for many modern working dog jobs, such as "anti-drug", "explosive search", "guide for the blind", "medical" and many more. And can also be competent for the role of a companion dog.

 These two characteristics make Golden Retrievers the first choice of many dog ​​owners. Here is a special explanation of obedience. For most people, high obedience is good, but for dogs, high obedience is not necessarily an advantage, because TAs may constantly suppress their normal desires and nature, but the masters But I can’t tell.

 I thought my dog ​​was fine. When the TA broke out one day, I still felt that my dog ​​was suddenly like this. In fact, the TA had already given a signal, but most people were not paying attention to it. Therefore, to raise the Golden Retriever Retriever, you must pay more attention to their mood.

(2) Smart

　　Today, I have to talk about being smart, because the border collie is also smart, but it has not been recommended by a pet behavior therapist. The reason is that the border lacks the characteristic of high obedience. Without obedience, no matter how smart you are, you can't benefit your master.

(3) Good water Lover

　Golden Retriever is a breed that likes water very much, so they like swimming very much, so friends who raise Golden Retriever can take them to swim more, they will love you very much. In addition, because of this feature, TA is also more suitable for modern pet concepts, because dogs have to go for grooming and bathing. This feature makes TAs less afraid of bathing. As long as they do well, they will even fall in love with bathing.

Golden Retriever

(4) Bulimia

The Golden Retriever is a dog who can't eat enough and has a big stomach. Therefore, when raising a Golden Retriever, you must pay attention to the food intake of the dog and don't feed it too much. Many golden retrievers suffer from obesity because they really don't know that they are full. In addition, you should also pay attention to the situation of protecting food, so don't bother them eating. Of course, there may be situations of picking up or rushing to eat.

(5) Tenacity

This is a characteristic that most large dogs have, which means that they need to have good physical strength. Think about the ancestors of TAs. When they were hungry and dying, they could also jump into the cold water to swim, which shows how strong their physical strength is. Okay, so friends who raise Golden Retrievers should pay attention to the amount of exercise they have. They have a lot of exercises. 

They must satisfy them, otherwise, behavioral problems such as barking, biting, and self-mutilation will come to their door. However, because of high obedience, sometimes behavior problems will not appear immediately, but the current pressure on dogs is already very great.

(6) Wag the Tail

I don’t know when this feature started, but it must be taken seriously! The important thing is said three times. According to statistics in the United Kingdom, the dog breed that most often bites the veterinarian is the Golden Retriever, because TAs are wagging their tails almost at any time. 

The tail can express many different emotions, one of which is preparing to attack, but most people think that tail wagging is a friendly performance, so I don’t know that the Golden Retriever has warned you not to approach or has appeared afraid.

Direct contact in the past Violated the dog's final bottom line, so he was bitten. This is not the fault of the dog, but the fault of the people who come into contact with TA, so! I advise you to get the consent of the owner before touching all the dogs. Do not touch or approach unfamiliar dogs casually.

 If you want to contact them, you must use the order in which the dogs know each other to contact them, otherwise, they will be bitten. I really can't blame others...

　Friends who like the Golden Retriever, congratulations on your love of a breed that is very suitable for human life. The Golden Retriever can bring you a lot of happiness and will be a very good companion dog. Of course, I also want to remind you that the large dogs of the Golden Retriever will have a lot of expenses.

 In addition to the expenses, many things need to be paid attention to. The health problems of dogs should not be ignored.

Four, common diseases of golden retriever

　　(1) Canine distemper

　　Canine distemper is one of the common diseases of the golden retriever. It is a symptom caused by the distemper virus, which is extremely contagious. If the golden retriever's physique is not good enough, it is easy to get infected. The symptoms of canine distemper are many and varied. 

Notable symptoms include vomiting, diarrhea, intussusception, and eventually severe dehydration. If not treated in time, they will become debilitated and die. The treatment cost of canine distemper is very high, at least 8,000. Vaccination of Golden Retriever dogs in time can reduce the incidence of canine distemper to a certain extent.

　　(2) Bone and joint diseases

　　Golden Retriever is also prone to suffering from bone and joint diseases because the Golden Retriever is larger and the joints with heavier weight, such as the marrow joint, knee joint, shoulder joint, etc., are all prone to inflammation, hardening, and forming osteophytes. Both congenital joint diseases and acquired joint damage can cause these conditions to occur, and the owners must attach great importance to them.

　　The sweat glands of the golden retriever's skin are not well developed, and it is very prone to heatstroke in summer. Normally, the body temperature of the golden retriever should be 37.8~39℃. If the body temperature rises to 40.65℃, the dog’s internal organs will begin to be damaged.

A body temperature of 41℃ is highly dangerous for the dog. In a high fever environment, the golden retriever’s organs may fail in as little as 20 minutes. And death. Therefore, when the owner finds that the dog has symptoms of unsteady breathing, vomiting, fatigue, and weakness, immediately use water to cool the TA, but never use ice water and ice. Too cold water will shrink the golden retriever’s skin pores, accelerate heatstroke, and even shock.

After the dog's body temperature drops, he should also seek medical treatment in time, and take the TA for a detailed examination. We can't detect the damage in the dog's body caused by heatstroke.



　　Please think carefully about keeping a dog! One last sentence: To raise a TA, you must love TA responsibly!
