Do You Know Your Dog? The Golden Retriever

Calling all Golden Retriever lovers! 🌟🐾

Why does mine shed SO much? Show or working type? And will he ever stay out of the river?

At Houlton Hounds we're a team of 8 dog walkers near Rugby, looking after more than 200 clients, so we meet a lot of dogs. We've put everything we've learned on our walks into one fun, friendly guide for UK owners and would-be owners.

Inside you'll find:

• How the breed began in the Scottish Highlands
• Show or working Golden, and which might suit you
• Walks, kind training tips, and grooming all that hair
• Hips, elbows, eyes and the health checks that matter
• Fun facts, photos of real dogs from our pack, and questions to ask a breeder

We're dog walkers, not vets, so we've checked the facts against trusted sources such as the Royal Kennel Club, PDSA, Dogs Trust and the RSPCA. It's general guidance, and your vet is always the best person to ask about your own dog.

For every guide sold, we donate 50p to UK dog rescue charities ❤️

We hope it makes you smile, and helps you get to know your dog even better!
