There is only one color of Golden Retriever but the shade can vary quite dramatically from dog to dog.

You can find some Goldens that are a very deep fox red, all the way through to an almost pale white. But they are all known as the one color. You can read more about the different types of Golden retrievers here.

I’m afraid they do. They shed hair all year round in small quantities but twice per year at the start of spring and autumn they shed in what can only be described as ‘massive amounts’ when their undercoats change over for the changing seasons.

As a long-haired breed Goldens do need a fair amount of grooming, otherwise, their coats can become matted and tangled.

You need to regularly groom their whole bodies including their ears, armpits, legs and tail… everywhere. You can brush the main part of their coat but use a comb in the more sensitive areas.

The Golden Retriever is a sporting breed and as such, they need a lot of exercise to keep them healthy and mentally stimulated. They benefit from lots of regular high-intensity exercise when fully grown.

Caution should be taken with Golden Retriever puppies though and you shouldn’t force high-intensity exercise on them until they’re 18 months old or you can damage their growing joints. Read more…
