What do I need to know about getting a golden retriever?

As a puppy

From a reputable breeder

Advice gratefully received ☺️

@SuperheroBirds , @Citygirlrurallife Beautiful dogs!!!!! 😍
My favourite thread, I don't have a dog and never had, but I keep dreaming and planning that one day I will be the owner of a goldie 🥰

@tilly so exciting!!!!
@SuperheroBirds they are gorgeous

They’re so beautiful!

Mine will pose really nicely if there’s food involved.

As you can see, when natural, he is just a picture of grace and elegance!

Your floofs are all gorgeous

I'm just here for the floof pile-on.
Hopefully I'll see you all for the next clan gathering in 2028 at Guisachan house.

Have a lot of time, they really don't like being left alone (ours didn't anyway).

Ours is the opposite. Gets annoyed by us interrupting her sleep by being at home!

This worries me. Due to a complete change in circumstance I might have to go back to work. My retriever is seven and I'm nearly always with her. If I go out it's rarely more than two hours. She has never shown any signs of distress when I'm out (I have a camera) and is always happy to get me back as I give her a biscuit but it does worry me if I was to have to leave her for four hours (a guess).

Just start building it up slowly, ten mins more each week or something.

Is there any daycare nearby ? Mine loves it and sulks when I pick her up !

Still counting down to puppy pics.

Paying my dues with this picture of mine.

I am so excited and delighted for you @Tilllly. Daisy dog will bring you such joy. This Is Brodie, now and as a puppy. Sending you all my love xxx

She's trying to play with her reflection

Oh she is so beautiful 😍! Enjoy every second ♥️

She’s got a beautifully shaped head ♥️

And her pigmentation is gorgeous ♥️

She's going to be super fluffy!! My floofer was pretty short haired and sleek as a puppy, she fluffed up later. That lovely fluffy pup is going to grow into a real furball!

She is sooooooo cute 😍 thank you for sharing photos!!!

The update I’ve been waiting for!!!! Love 😍😍😍😍

I came back just to check for puppy photos 😂

She is so cute! Enjoy the next couple of months, they stay puppies for about two months and then they’re just giant dogs 😂

What a beautiful baby!

Ahh she really is gorgeous , strap in for lots of hard work, but oh she is lovely . I bet she gives good puppy cuddles while nibbling your ear .

I currently have no need to go out every day but I would have to come up with something as I'm thinking sat in a park for four hours with a book while she learns to be alone.

I've not moved yet but I don't think she'd settle.

Loving the pictures. Haven’t got a GR but am adding picture of my black lab as a compromise.
