Golden Retrievers - The Golden Retriever Site
Every day is an adventure if you own a Golden Retriever. Other golden owners would likely agree. As a result, we've put this site together to discuss anything related to Golden Retrievers. Our two goldens Tucker and Murphy have really made an impact on our lives. This site is dedicated to Golden Retrievers and their owners. Our goal is to provide a great place where we can exchange information, Golden Retriever tips & tricks, photographs and anything else related to goldens. Stop by our Golden Retriever Forum or Golden Retriever Blog to read the latest news or post some helpful information.
If you own a Golden Retriever, please add your photos to the Golden Gallery. We also have sections available for other dogs and other pets. In addition, we're looking for regulars on our forum to help new puppy owners through the early stages of puppy hood.
We offer free listing services for those who own, manage, or work at Golden Retriever Rescues or Humane Societies. In addition, we offer free listings in our event section for anyone who holds dog shows, humane society fund raisers, or golden retriever rescue fund raisers or events.
If you are thinking about a Golden puppy, please check our Golden Retrievers As Pets section before you make your final decision. We offer a few tips and some things to ponder before and after you decide on a Golden Retriever.
We look forward to talking to other pet and Golden owners across the country. Our goal is to provide an online home where we can all exchange stories and information about our favorite dogs and have a few laughs. Thanks for visiting the Golden Retriever Site.
We have added a section of our site for dog parks by state. Please add any local dog parks near you to help other dog owners socialize their Goldens.

- Itching Like Crazy
Woodyspond Hi All, my Golden, Casey, has been itching like crazy since the end of the summer. Every time I take him to the vet, they put him on antibiotics, prednisone and an antihistamine. Last visit, they told me to leave him on the antihistamine for the rest of his life. He is 1 year and 9 months old! I don't want him on pills forever. Is there any natural way I can go with this? I called a holistic vet and they are way too expensive for me right now. He is fed good food though, Natural Balance, Duck and Potato, no corn, no wheat etc. I am at my wits end with this. When you look at his skin where he is itching, there is nothing there. He doesn't have fleas, bugs etc. I feel terrible for him. Any suggestions would really be appreciated! http://www.goldenretrieversite.com/images/fbfiles/images/001.JPG - help
MSODKO I have 2 golden males that are 11 months old. Looking for some advice. The larger of the two is possessive over objects such as socks, washclothes, towels. Anything that he can get his paws on that he should not have. Once he realizes that he shouldn't have it, he will not give it up. He has started growling at me and has even nipped at me. I'm not sure what to do. He is a very large dog, and I need to try to turn this around. I have been lying him on his side to try to show him I am dominant. He is a big teddy bear then and most of the time. I am afraid that since he is already 11 months he won't change. - New To Site
Joan I am new to your site but have been training and showing goldesn for years. I am currently a K-9 obedience trainer in South Carolina. I show in AKC Rally Obedience, teach rally and conduct all obedience classes. I have two goldens currently, Cali my 8 yr old and Julie, who is three and will be breed next month. I have gotten my goldens from Pekay Goldens outside of Atlanta, GA. I am into giving my dogs healthy, natural products to help them avoid, hot spots, skin allergies and the like, so to that end I also give my dogs Mila from Lifemax. It is a whole raw food. Please visit my web site @ www.goldenoldies.lifemax.net. Superior food for superior dogs. :) - Help find this family find their Golden Retriever Dixie
admin I can't imagine losing one of my boys. Here is the info she has provided and I'll attach her email to the bottom. Please help if you have any information: --------------------------- Dixie is a 6 y/o Female GOLDEN RETRIEVER (AKC REG.) with MEDIUM REDISH-BLONDE WAVY FUR. She went missing on SATURDAY, APRIL 26. At that time, she was wearing a PINK AND BROWN PAISLEY COLLAR but it didn't have a tag and is not micro-chipped. I believe someone may have taken DIXIE from her home on COUNTY ROAD 570 (between Englewood and Athens) in McMinn Co., TN. She would not voluntarily leave her life-long companion DUKE (my other golden). They were inseparable. Dixie could be anywhere so I'm asking rescue groups, shelters, and vets to help me find and bring my DIXIE back home. In conclusion, Dixie is SEVERELY allergic to FLEAS and MUST BE TREATED for them. She also has other ALLERGIES AND SKIN ISSUES THAT MUST BE KEPT UNDER CONTROL. I miss Dixie very much and I am sooo WORRIED about her. PLEASE help me find my GOLDEN RETRIEVER, DIXIE... ---------------------------- juliet_dg@yahoo.com - petinfo
