The Golden Retriever is the crème of the dogs. They leave paw prints on your heart!

Goldens shower you with unconditional love - take good care of them.   One stop shopping for all things Golden is here.

Golden Retrievers are not our whole lives, but they make our lives whole. 

Golden Retrievers are often used as seeing eye dogs for the blind, therapy dogs for hospitals and companion dogs for the elderly and for people who are facing the daily challenges of life with a disability.
Goldens are active and fun-loving but also exceptionally patient, and have an inordinate love for cool water.  If you play with your Golden around water be sure to buy toys that float - ie Kong Floating Toy -  it is great for water play, or for field training. Made of all natural rubber.  It is for sale here.

They are noted for their intelligence, their affection for people, and their tolerance of children. Golden Retrievers make great pets for young children due to their nurturing instincts and gentle nature. The other side of this is that they require lots of companionship to be happy.

Obviously, the Golden Retriever loves to retrieve. Retrieving a frisbee can keep a Golden occupied and entertained for hours, particularly if there is also water involved.

Loyalty

Loyalty

You can't buy loyalty,they say,
I bought it though,the other day
You cant buy friendships,tried and true
Well just the same,I bought that too.
I made my bid and on spot
Brought love and faith and a whole job lot
Of happiness,so all in all
The purchase price was pretty small
I bought a single trusting heart,
that gave devotion from the start
If you think these things are

The perfect Doghouse 

My Golden loves to lay at the door of her "den" and watch the world go by. This little porch is perfect for protection from the heat or rain.

Dogs need a place which they can have all to themselves. Thus, to ensure that your loving pet has a safe haven where it can be comfortable and secure, you will need to get a dog house.

Dog houses are an absolute necessity for homes which have dogs as pets.

Merry Pet The Barn Wood Pet House, Large

This house was conceived with the outdoor pet in mind, allowing him to enjoy both the comfort of an enclosed sleeping area and the freedom of an outdoor porch. In addition to a raised base, this porch was designed with a roof, which offers complete coverage to your pet, keeping them dry and shaded from the elements. A window in the cedar house allows for ventilation of the enclosed areas: Dimensions: BARN - 39 x 47 x 35. PORCH - 29 x 40 x 33. The Barn is suitable for, but not limited to: Dalmation, Retrievers, Setters, Chow Chow and Husky

Tribute to Rookie - Coolest Dancing Golden Retriever.--- the life of Rookie 

Follow Rookie's life from puppy to retirement.

There is a powerful message in the life-affirming joy and inner radiance that Carolyn and Rookie exude, as our film demonstrates the restorative miracles that can abound through the embodiment of the human-canine bond. However, it is important to understand that Gotta Dance! is NOT a story about canine freestyle. Rather, it is a courageous story of inner strength and survival, as Carolyn continues in a sense to dance for her life. Enduring her fears without relinquishing that important capacity to rejoice, she is buoyed by Rabbi Hillel's words, "I get up. I walk. I fall down. Meanwhile, I keep dancing."
Paralyzed due to childhood polio at the age of four years, and additionally diagnosed with a significant heart disorder, Carolyn has suffered much physical and psychological pain. By bonding with Rookie and helping him live life to the fullest, she has been able to tackle her own continuing challenges.

Tribute to Rookie / Canine Freestyle

In honor of his retirement/ Rookie and Carolyn Scott/ Golden Retriver 14 years old. My cup runneth over that Rookie is still at my side. Thank you SAR for this beautiful tribute!
