Getting older golden retrievers

1. Getting Older Golden Retrievers
Those of you who want a Golden Retriever, but are not ready to go through the tribulations of a
puppy, should look into adopting an older Golden. Older Golden Retrievers are mature, and prove
to be great in homes where they will spend a quality time by themselves. They are a very
adjustable race, good humored. No matter how old the Golden may be, he becomes quickly a
valued member of your family in little to no time at all.
Many times, breeders have older dogs for sale. There are several reasons for this, which include
show dogs that have lost their potential buds that have been used for breeding, she Golden’s has
bred a few times then retired, or other types of special conditions where a breeder helping a friend
get rid of his Golden Retriever. There are other reasons too, but whatever they may be – the adult
Golden Retriever will be available to anyone who wants him.
Most older Golden Retrievers are already housebroken, and known a lot of behavior, and how to
adapt to a new and loving family. Although a bit hard on your new dog at first, if you give him love,
attention and patience, he will be fine. You have to keep reassuring your new Golden on a regular
basis and let him know that you are his new owner and that you love you and you are glad he is a
member of your family.
If you’ve thought about adopting an older Golden Retriever, make sure that you learn everything
you can about him. You should also determine his temperament, and whether it is compatible with
your family. You should also learn important things too, like his diet, likes, dislikes, daily routine,
and his habits. Before you decide to take him, you should always ensure that the members of your
family to meet him as well, so you can talk it over and not everybody wants the dog is a member of
your family to decide.
With an older dog, you should take care of him during the first day and let him know where
everything in your home is. You have to show him where he sleeps, where he was going to the
toilet, and where his food is. Take your time and be patient with him as it would normally take him a
few days to learn how things work in your home.
You should always give your new Golden Retriever at least a month or so to get used to her new
surroundings before you start his new obedience training. Even if the new dog may have some
prior obedience training, you should still enroll him in a new class. This way he can brush up on
training and you can work with him to help him understand. When you are finished training, he will
understand the commands better and you and him will get along just fine.
All Golden Retrievers, regardless of age, love attention. Older Golden’s on the other hand, have
medical problems that you are not aware of. Do not let this stop you from getting one myself,
simply because the rewards that you find is far greater than any disadvantages that may come to
mind. Although many people do not give a lot of thought to getting an older Golden Retriever –
they are perfect for families who do not want to bring up the time and trouble of raising a puppy.
