Hello so my 1.5yo golden has some of the weirdest fur growth i’ve ever seen. Not sure what other golden owners do to tame the fur down a bit. Her fur has been really wavey and started growing upwards since she started growing her adult coat. Most people said to me that she will just grow out of...

It seems that the general consensus is to wait until later in a puppy's development to neuter/spay. In the case of a male dog, I'd like to wait until they've matured and the growth plates have closed, especially since I would like my dog to have more of the stocky golden structure. For a female...

what are some ways I could tell how tall my golden boy is gonna be? Anything I could look at or where he should be at by a certain age?

How many pounds will a male golden put on after 7 months of age. My boy is about 21 inches tall I believe and 45 pounds. About to be 7 months old.

Is it normal during the 6 month mark or at all for that matter for a golden to plateau in growth for about 3 weeks and only hair grow? My boy has been at dead 44-45 pounds for about 3 weeks now. He will be 7 months by December 12. I have no idea how to expect how big he will be either.

Hello again! I'm just curious if Cleo is on track to be a normal sized golden. (I'm talking breed standard.) She seems to be pretty lean and on the shorter side. Her mom was a little on the tall side and her dad was a big boy. Cleo was the runt of the litter, but everyone told us that runts...

Hi guys! I’ve seen SO many different ranges and speeds of growth in goldens and I’d love to see pictures of your pups in the 5-6 month range :)

We got Winston at 8 weeks and he was only 4.7 lbs....he is a leaner, darker golden but he was still much smaller than average. He is now exactly 7 months, and only 40 lbs. His father was 65 lbs, and his mother was 55, so I knew he would be on the smaller side, but I didn't think he'd be this...

Hi everyone, I have a 6 month old pup (Brix) and he's only 30Lbs. lately, he starts to lose his appetite, and only eats almost a cup of his dog food a day instead of 3 cups. He's very active and playful, but I'm really worried about his growth. He seems really smaller than the pups his age...

Our beautiful Bella is now almost 5 months old and 50 pounds! We picked her up at 6 1/2 weeks from a first time breeder, (more of a rescue!) She has been such a wonderful pup so far! She has been to a hotel, elevators, waterfalls, bridges, ocean, rivers, hiking, car trips, etc. She has been easy...

I have a 2 year old Golden Retriever who has a list of issues. But today I noticed she has hard growth like thing inbetween her toes on her front foot. It's a weird color and is hanging on there very well. We have a follow up appointment at the vet next week I'm just wondering if I need to go in...

Hi Fellow Golden Owners- I have a healthy, energetic 6.5 month old golden who is eating about 5-6 cups a day. The vet says he is at a great weight and everything looks on track. I wanted your input on what age is appropriate to switch the feedings from 3 times a day to 2 times a day. Also, when...

Hello all, I was searching for some information about our golden puppy Rio and came accross this site and it looks very good so we joined up. We have had Rio for nearly 4 months, he will be 6 months old on the 3rd of November. We feed Rio Wellness dog food per the packages instructions and he...

We are looking at different foods for a golden retriever puppy will be taking home sometime during the week after August 6th. The food we have been looking at is the Diamond Large Breed Puppy Lamb and Rice Formula. On dogfoodadvisor.com it gets 4 stars and is pretty cheap. I know it's specially...

Attaching a picture to see if this should be a concern. Her back foot paw has a small white/light pink bump that resembles a human's zit. Anyone know what this could be?

On the advice of PrincessDi I'm reposting portions of an earlier post here from Cancer forum in hopes that someone may know something about protrusions from a Mast Cell Tumor. My 14 year-plus Golden girl Sassy developed a Mast Cell tumor that ruptured last Wednesday. She had this lump for...

My 14 year-plus Golden girl Sassy developed a Mast Cell tumor that ruptured last Wednesday. She had this lump for more than year along with many others that had been previously biopsied and determined to be non-cancerous. Given her age we decided more than a year ago that if she developed cancer...

Hello everyone! This is my first time posting here. I wanted to share something that's going on with my dog right now in the hopes that someone else might stumble upon this post when looking facing a similar issue and be relieved to find some information. My golden, Apollo, started acting...

I'm new here and also a first-time puppy owner. My husband and I just returned from a two-day trip and noticed that our 5-month-old puppy's front legs seem sloped from the paw to the first joint... like his wrists are weak. Is this normal? (growth spurt related?) It seemed his legs were...
