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.

Jenny and I 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.

- Neutering
wilton126 For Duke to attend doggie daycare he has to be neutered. He will be 8 in a few months and is perfect in every way. I don't want to do something to him that would be an emotional event impacting his behavior. Our vet said that neutering would eliminate the risk of testicular cancer, which can be a potential problem as they get older. I'm looking for opinions. - West Paw Design's Bumi
admin Interesting new toy that is environmentally friendly. Looks to be quite a good tug toy with added action for your Golden Retriever. West Paw Design has several other toys made out of the same tough material they call ZogoFlex. The reviews look good. Maybe my Golden Tucker will be getting one for his birthday. http://www.westpawdesign.com/catalog/dogs/dog-toys/eco-friendly-dog-toys/eco-friendly-products/bumi - Healthy pet toy reviews
admin This site reviews dog and cat toys to indicate if they may be unsafe or toxic to your dog or cat. http://www.healthystuff.org/departments/pets/ - Cute picture!
admin I saw this picture posted at Digg and thought it was pretty cute. It's not a Golden Retriever, but it's still cute. The title was Dogs do more than smile. http://digg.com/d314zTC - Worlds most expensive dog??
admin So what do you think the most expensive dog would cost? We'll start the bid at 100,000. However, it doesn't end there. Actually, not even close. For this kind of money I'd by a ranch with acreage and get a few dozen Golden Retrievers. Click the link to read the story. http://tiny.cc/7ocpf - How to- Build a dog feeding station...
admin This old house has a step by step on how to build a dog feeding station. Looks like cool project. Unfortunately, I don't have enough room for something this size. However, if you have an entry way or foyer this is great for your Golden Retriever (or any larger dog). http://tiny.cc/r8cM9 - They grow so quickly
admin I can't believe our oldest Golden Tucker will be six in October. Our younger Golden Murphy will soon be two years old. Tucker still has quite a bit of spunk, but he rarely turns down an opportunity to lay on the bed. Murphy is still as vibrant as ever, but is slowly learning to enjoy snuggling. It seems like just yesterday when we first got Tucker. Man time sure does fly! You really have to enjoy every minute. - Interesting Pet ID tag
admin This one looks quite a bit like a drivers license. The smaller size seems reasonable for a larger dog such as a Golden Retriever. Just thought I'd post this FYI. http://www.petidforme.com/shop/index.php?ukey=home - Dog Lovers Nightmare...
admin I was born just outside of Philadelphia. I've been an Eagles fan my whole life. Then came the news that they signed Michael Vick. Nothing like ruining a whole football season before it even starts. As much as I love football, my love for animals is far greater. I don't think I could support the Eagles and look my dogs in the face or myself in the mirror. I'd love to see the Eagles win a championship, but not at all cost. I've never been one to pass up other entertainment to watch a football game so I guess I'm not what they'd call and avid football fan after all. Maybe I'll support the home team (Green Bay Packers). Maybe I'll support my wife's team (The Bears or Da Bears). If I'm lucky I'll be too busy to worry about football. I'll pretend this is just a bad dream and I'll wake up from it next year and Vick will be playing for the Cowboys. - Interesting idea for spay/neuter campaign
admin Zapp (Zero Additional Pup-ulation Project) launched a new campaign in Mexico which refurbished old shoes for resale. Ebay is one of the methods used for sale. The money collected goes towards spaying and neutering projects. I thought this was an excellent idea and worth noting. Link to their website is here http://www.sfzapp.com/ .
