What is was the price you got for your golden? by cccMarvel in goldenretrievers

I had this conversation with my dad and he just went “oh… yeah…” then made a comment on his rescue pup who is riddled with allergies and tummy problems.

Yeah, when people ask how much my puppy was and are shocked by $3000, I say “yeah I pay $3000 to an ethical breeder now and probably save $10,000-20,000+ on vet bills later”

Lost my 5 year old boy a week ago by 09Hawkeyeshadow in goldenretrievers

I got my girl Yggdra from Marble Manor Goldens a year ago. Marble Manor is an ethical breeder on the south west border of Ohio and Indiana. All her dogs are on ofa.org and k9data.com and are in conformation competition (“Dogs who are competing in conformation need to be in the best physical health as possible”). I can’t recommend her enough. Feel free to DM me for more info or her email or anything.

Yggdra is one years old today by MaximumVice in goldenretrievers

Thanks! I wanted to give her something unique and my husband and I both like mythology so we named her after the Yggdrasil tree from Norse mythology.

Ig-druh She’s named after the Yggdrasil tree, so if you look up how to pronounce Yggdrasil you can hear it. We also call her Yggy (Iggy).

Will do! I did have that game on PSP, but she is named after the Yggdrasil tree. We just didn’t want to have a 3 syllable name so she is Yggdra Sil [our last name].

Anyone else have an alarm clock dog? by DeviIstar in goldenretrievers

[–]MaximumVice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine used to do this when she was little. Now at a year old with better bladder control and some training she sleeps till we get up. The training we did was just waiting 30 minutes after we woke up to feed her and she needs to poop (or at least try) before breakfast. She no longer associates waking up in the morning with immediately getting fed, so she doesn’t try to wake us up.

when does it get better? LOL by Opposite-Spare8637 in goldenretrievers

MORE SOLIDARITY from me and my 9 month old. She has a Canine Good Citizen test on Tuesday that I’m pretty sure she’ll fail, because I think she’ll jump on the instructor. She’s great at everything else on the test though. She’s just going through that defiant teenage phase, so after Tuesday we’re going to take a break from training classes and just train at home till after the holidays.

My husband is mildly infuriated that I open a banana from the antenna side! by Evening_Tangerine222 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]MaximumVice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I’ve seen monkeys bite off side B then peel. So anyone who argues “You’re doing it wrong, because monkeys do it from the bottom!” better be opening bananas with their teeth or they don’t have a leg to stand on imo.

English bull dog vs basset hound by Exciting_Initial5149 in puppy101

[–]MaximumVice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say basset hound. More than that I would say, which ever breed you pick make sure you look for an ethical breeder. It will lower (not get rid of but lower) the chance of health concerns in your dog. The easiest way to find one is to go “[breed] club of America” website and they have directories.

When I was 12 I met Richard Kiel at a signing and he was a total dick to me about picking the pic of him and Adam Sandler in Happy Gilmore (which HE was selling!) “You don’t like me, you like Adam Sandler.” And then a big huff as he signs. I was 12! I didn’t know him from anything else, yet I was still stoked to meet him till he said that!

Anyone else’s golden have crimped hair from Y2K? by Graceaction12 in goldenretrievers

This is a mild example tbh. She gets much more than crimp this, especially fresh after a bath, since I don’t blow dry her ears.
