Are Golden Retrievers Really Easy to Take Care Of? Don't Be Fooled by These 'Lies' - A List of Their 6 Major Drawbacks
Everyone says Golden Retrievers are gentlemen, easy to raise, but I advise you to not be fooled by these 'lies'. Here's a rundown of the 6 disadvantages of Golden Retrievers!
Disadvantage 1: Want him to guard your property? Prepare to be greeted by friendly faces.
If you're planning to get a Golden Retriever to guard your property, don't choose one. Golden Retrievers, despite their large size, are incredibly docile and friendly, greeting everyone with affection, making them unsuitable for guarding!
Disadvantage 2: Unclean and loves to roll in the mud
Golden Retrievers have long, beautiful hair, but they're notoriously unclean. Every time I help bathe him, it's only a short time before he comes home covered in mud. I realized later that they simply love to roll in the mud. Can you tolerate a Golden Retriever playing in mud every day?
Disadvantage 3: Huge food bills can bankrupt you
Golden Retrievers eat a lot in one meal. Let me tell you, their appetite is so huge that it can bankrupt you. So, when getting a Golden Retriever, you need to make sure you can actually afford it.
Disadvantage 4: Always smelly
Golden Retrievers are among the breeds with the most severe body odor. Even if you help him bathe regularly, the odor won't last long. It's especially bad in hot weather, and the house will be filled with Golden Retriever body odor. I advise Golden Retriever owners to regularly clean their paws and anus, otherwise, bathing alone won't be enough!
Disadvantage 5: Extremely heavy shedding
Golden Retrievers already have a lot of hair, and they shed extremely heavily. I recommend brushing them for 10 minutes each morning and evening to remove dead hair. You also need to feed them a light, low-salt, low-fat high-quality dog food to help alleviate shedding. When you have time, you can also let them soak in the sun.
Disadvantage 6: Jump on people
Because Golden Retrievers are large in size and prone to jumping, they can knock people down. This is also a disadvantage. Owners can reduce their excitement by petting and shaking hands. You can also give them rewards like chicken jerky to help them understand that they can get rewards if they don't jump.
Conclusion: Do your Golden Retriever have these disadvantages?
