CLEAR ALLGolden Retrievers are one of the most popular dog breeds around the world, because of their approachable, sociable, and easy-going temperaments. This makes them excellent family pets that get along well with both older and younger children. Their high intelligence also makes them great working dogs.
This dog breed is adored for being even-tempered, smart, and loving. They are playful yet gentle with children. They also get along well with other pets and even strangers.
Aside from being an excellent family dog, Golden Retrievers are known to excel as service dogs, therapy dogs, and law enforcement companions to sniff out smuggled goods, as well as tracking and retrieving hunters. They are also natural athletes, so they do well in dog sports such as agility and competitive obedience. Golden Retrievers adore working, whether it involves fetching something or hunting birds.
Golden Retrievers are always eager to please which is why they are so good at obedience training. They are also fast learners and form very strong bonds with their human companions.
If you are looking for a dog breed that’s loyal, loving, protective, and intelligent, the Golden Retriever is definitely an option you should consider.

These medium-sized retrievers weigh between 55 and 75 pounds, with the males being noticeably larger. They usually reach their full height by one year old, standing between 22 and 24 inches tall. However, they can continue to grow and gain weight for another year.
These working dogs are powerfully built, with sturdy, muscular bodies. Their broad heads feature wide-set dark eyes, large black noses, and folded ears. Their cream-coloured double coat is their most unique feature, consisting of a dense, water-resistant outer coat and a thick undercoat.
Their fur can be either wavy or straight with lots of feathering. The majority is on the chest, thighs, and tail, but there will often be some on the underbody and front legs, too. Golden Retrievers can be any shade of cream, yellow, or gold. Interestingly, their coats become paler as they get older.
The Golden Retriever’s long, thick coat sheds significantly, especially in the spring and autumn. You’ll need to brush them every one to two days to prevent tangles and mats, and you should bathe them once a month or so, too.
Golden Retrievers are prone to ear infections like other floppy-eared breeds, so regularly checking and cleaning inside their ears is vital. They are generally a healthy breed that will live for 12 to 13 years, but this breed has a higher cancer rate than other canines.
The hallmark of the Golden Retriever is undoubtedly its friendly and gentle nature. However, it’s their mild temperament, tolerance, and adaptability that makes them a firm family favourite, especially those with young kids, as these pups are particularly fond of children.
Golden Retrievers are very social beings who crave attention from their owners and are super friendly towards strangers. They build strong bonds with their humans, who they will remain loyal to forever. They want to stay with their “pack” all the time, which, although cute, means you can never leave them alone for too long. In addition, they prefer to stay inside with the family, rather than outdoors on their own.
Goldens can get over-excited when they see people and may jump up. While they do it to be friendly, you should not allow your pup to greet people like this. Luckily, you can easily teach them not to do it with simple obedience training. This is especially important if they are around children. While they are gentle, Goldens are pretty big dogs, so they could accidentally knock over a small kid if they are not well-trained.
As puppies, Golden Retrievers are super playful, and they mature slowly, maintaining this lively nature for a few years. They need daily walks and interactive play, and of course, fetch is their favourite game. Aim for between 40 to 60 minutes of moderate exercise every day. They also love playing in water, so if you live near the beach or a river, they will be in heaven there!
Golden Retrievers are lively, confident dogs that thrive in a busy family environment. They don’t shy away from noise and activity and love to play with children and help their owners with their chores. They make excellent companions for children and other pets alike and don’t tend to experience jealousy of other animals receiving attention.
Because of their size and high energy, they need to be in a home with an enclosed garden. They also need an owner who will involve them in everything they do. These social beings want their humans around often, so they will not be a good fit for a home where everyone is always out.

We had some concerns purchasing a kitten online but our experience with The Pedigree Paws was great. They connected us with Caroline, the Russian Blue breeder and we had many conversations and received multiple pictures and videos. She answered to all our questions.

Jack
Miniature Dachshund
One of the reasons I was hesitant to order a puppy from The Pedigree Paws is because I live in Spain. However they connected me with a very good FCI breeder in Barcelona.
He showed me all the health documents of both parents, their pedigree and answer to all my questions. I am so happy they helped me to find a healthy puppy as finding one by myself was very overwhelming. Contacting The Pedigree Paws was the best decision and I highly recommend them to everybody!

Athena

It's been a few months since we decided to find a Chihuahua puppy to join our family, however we had issues finding a good breeder.
We contacted The Pedigree Paws and they connected us with a very unique breeder in Greece. Many videos and pictures were shown, the breeder shared with us the proof of vaccinations, deworming and her 5 generation pedigree. We were fortunate as George, the breeder was able to deliver the puppy to us personally. We are very pleased with our beautiful Athena.
