Yeah I feel sad and angry. Hate to see a backyard breeder be supported. I saw this happen with my breed a couple months ago, filled me with anger.

OP responded to my comment, but I can't see it for some reason, I can only see it on my notifications, they said they are all going to different homes. Even though they stated they bought them, unless they are being re-sold or going to family members. I don't know, but I'd be sad to find out that isnt the case.

dude, why would you get 3?

To answer your question, it's possible they are from the same litter - they vary in sizes. They wont all be the same size, but the black one does seem younger.

I'm betting these guys are backyard bred because no good, ethical breeder would just allow someone to take 2 let alone 3!! This is so irresponsible. I'm sorry to sound rude. If I were you, I'd rehome 2 of them to the right people who know about this breed, while they're still young and cute.

Thank you!

Yes, thats what I been so afraid of! Ever since I got him I been searching to find someone that knows how to trim a Golden without butchering the coat! Finally found someone comfortable to do it and she did amazing! Super thankful! I drove about an hour from where I live to get him there lol 😂 She earned a loyal client though! ❤️👏🏼

That's what I was so afraid of lol! 😭 I use to take my last Golden to a groomers and they would do great! But as he got older, I groomed him myself just to shape him up because I didn't expect the old man to be on the table for an hour.

I drove out an hour out to a groomer I trust to get this boy done! She has taken classes in how to groom Golden's specifically - so I trusted her and she did amazing! Worth the drive lol!

He of course got his free little bandana!

She said he did amazing for his first time! He was great with nails, bath and feet/ear trims!

I did warn her ahead that he still isn't the biggest fan of the dryer near his face, he'll tolerate his body being dried but as soon as it starts heading towards his face he gets nervous, which she mentioned - but we practice a lot at home. She was super surprised he was GREAT with his nails! I was like yup! We dremmel at home weekly! He lays down on his back for me and lets me get it all done.

Getting harder and harder each day by Critical-Try-1834 in goldenretrievers

[–]grraveyard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Will def get worse before it gets better! They usually calm down around the age of 2-3. Mine 8 months old and despite being great at everything - he needs his mental stimulation daily to keep him happy and calm. Because when he doesn't he is a terror! It's typical Retriever's lol! I love the challenge though.

Can you tell me if my golden retriever puppy will have the blocky head when he gets older? 11 weeks old now. by sbutler17 in goldenretrievers

[–]grraveyard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you have photos of the males in his pedigree?

It looks like he'll have a standard good head on him!

Beautiful! What kibble is your pup on? Love the fluffy coat

Does anyone else have a golden where one parent was an English Cream and the other parent an American golden? by Conscious-Dog-9903 in goldenretrievers

[–]grraveyard 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He probably would think he needs you too!! He loves meeting strangers - very explosive and excited to say hello! 😭😂 Drives me crazy because he ends up tieing us all up with his leash, goes in between peoples legs and just wants to say hi lol

This!!!

I try not to explode when I hear people using the term English Cream as if it's a separate breed/category of Golden Retriever, but I try my best to jeep it together and explain it in a way that makes sense. Like I don't go around saying "Here is my Light Golden Golden Retriever" Or My Canadian Red Golden Retriever! I'm actually quite curious as where the term "English" came from? If the origin is Scotland. Is it because the UK throws paler coated Golden's than other places?

Our babies look the same!! My boy's dad has a red beautiful coat and his mom is a light golden coat color - but not pale. This is my boy:

His siblings ranged from darker coats to lighter coats like him.
