The Golden Retriever originated in Scotland, England, in the 19th century. Records of the Golden Retriever include blood origin or are recognized by the association

There are different records. The book about breeding written by Sir Dudley Majerbank [Tweed Maus] records the origin of the single hound in detail. There are also legends about the golden retriever. It evolved from a Russian circus dog breed

but it is still more similar to the yellow flat-coated retriever and Tweed Spanish water spaniel and the later introduced Irish squatter. The dog was bred from the cross of a hunting dog, a Labrador retriever and a bloodhound. After 1920 AD, the golden retriever that everyone is familiar with today was officially named. Before that, it was called the golden flat-haired retriever. The dog is famous for its name.

The Golden Retriever is improved from the following dog breeds

Flat-coated Retriever

Breed introduction: Flat-coated Retriever Flat-coated Retriever - As the name suggests, the fur is tightly wrapped on the body. The hair on the body is thick and finely textured, with fringed hair on the legs and tail.

History: Although it is a British dog, it was bred from two Newfoundland breeds, Labrador and Newfoundland.

Note: After World War I, it gradually declined and is now mainly used as a working dog

Tweed Water Spaniel

Tweed The earliest breeding of the Spanish Water Spaniel is attributed to Mr. Fowler, who bred golden and liver-colored hounds and made this breed prosperous. Although it doesn't have the speed of a springer or bird dog, it has a keen nose and is a determined hunter. Happy to follow the scent. Small, but heavy and muscular.

Graceful movements, cute tail, and cheerful temperament. It gains weight quickly, so it is sometimes necessary to monitor its

eating habits. Easy to train and very cute. It is said to be very suitable for getting along with children. 15-16 inches tall, 35-45

pounds. Coat type: brown, medium long, wavy. Moderate hair loss.

Irish Squatting Hound Red Setter

This name Even more famous than its official name. It has an active and positive personality and is more suitable for racing than the red and white squatting hound. Although it is a pet from Daconghua, it must be adequately trained. That is to say, it requires more training than other breeds

to meet the obedience requirements. Under strict training, it will eventually become an excellent working partner.

History: Bred in Ireland. According to research, breeds such as the Irish Water Spaniel, Gordon Squatting Hound, and Flying Hound had a great influence on its breeding process.

Note: A white patch on the chest is common and will not be considered a fault at dog shows

The Smooth-coated Retriever is a breed of Labrador and New Zealand retrievers. They were bred by Finnish dogs, so here are two types of dogs

Labrador Retrievr

Height: 54 ~ 57 cm

According to statistics from the American Kennel Club AKC, it ranks among the best in the breeding industry in the United States and is highly favored. The main reason is that it

is intelligent, docile, highly obedient, less smelly, and easy to raise.

Therefore, dog owners at home and abroad use it as a drug detection dog, hunting dog, search dog, and even a guide dog. Especially

What is commendable is that it has a gentle personality. It not only ignores the pull of children, but also takes care of the little master for its owner

It is true that it is the best nanny. Too much. If it encounters boring provocations from other dog breeds, it will still walk away silently and ignore them.

During this year’s 5.12 earthquake, didn’t foreign search and rescue teams also train Labradors as search dogs? Many

victims have been reborn because of them. Therefore, he has made great achievements and made many contributions.

Newfoundland

Breed introduction: Newfoundland - huge, majestic, looks like a cub.

Despite their large size, adult dogs have gentle and docile personalities and, if necessary, are loyal guardians of their homes. Oily fur

Not only is it gorgeous, it is also highly waterproof. If you comb the fur backwards, it will naturally return to its original shape.

History: First discovered in northeastern Canada. It is said to be the offspring of dogs brought by European immigrants, although local Americans may have already owned dogs such as mastiffs.

For today’s golden retrievers, the world is divided into two categories, British golden retrievers and American golden retrievers. In some pet forums, you can see some people talking about Australian golden retrievers and Japanese golden retrievers. In fact, Australian golden retrievers belong to the British golden retrievers. Golden Retriever belongs to the American family in Japan. The United States, Canada, Taiwan, and Thailand are popular in countries and regions such as the American Golden Retriever, while the British Golden Retriever is popular in the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand.

Because Hong Kong used to be a British colony, there used to be mostly British Golden Retrievers, but now the American Golden Retriever has become completely mainstream. The popularity of American Golden Retrievers in Hong Kong, including mainland China, is due to a character. It must be mentioned that he is Mr. Chen Zhenta from Hong Kong. It was he who successively introduced Maple Leaf Boy, Golden Warrior, Maple Leaf Emperor and other famous American Golden Retrievers in the 1990s, which directly created the American Golden Retriever’s popularity in Hong Kong and China today. The prevalence of mainland China.

The British Golden Retriever is the original form of the Golden Retriever. The American Golden Retriever is an improved version of the British Golden Retriever.

The character of the British and American Golden Retrievers: No matter which one they are Golden Retrievers from the same family have no major changes in their personalities. Although the purpose of the breeders is different, they all retain the original personalities of the Golden Retrievers, such as being docile, intelligent, not aggressive towards people, and highly obedient.

British/American facial expression characteristics:

The British golden retriever gives people a sense of simplicity, and its eyes are full of desire. Sometimes, even if you don’t want to pay attention to it , as long as you see its honest, helpless, and eager look, you have to hug it. I think British golden retrievers make people feel like they are like children, needing the care of their owners at all times.

American Golden Retriever: First of all, let’s talk about the face. It feels more like a big child, and the eyes always reveal this kind of confidence. The adult American Golden Retriever also reveals a feeling of being arrogant, more like A mature adult. But when they feel lonely, they are also like a child, eager to get the attention of their master. They only need a hug from their master, and they will show a sense of complacency.

English /Beautiful body shape characteristics: The difference between the two is not very obvious. Although both have different standards, they are roughly the same. The difference in body shape is not very big. The fullness of the chest is more prominent in the British system than in the American system. This is mainly because

The purpose of breeding is different. We will introduce it later!

Characteristics of British/American hair and bone mass: In China, American breeds are basically the mainstream now. Therefore, people’s The impression is that they have very thick bones, a lot of hair, and big broad heads. The British breed is not very popular in China, and the kennels are basically American breeds. The amount of hair of the British breed is not much different from that of the American breed. If Who said that the hair volume of the British golden retriever is much different from that of the American golden retriever? Then I can only say that you have never seen a good British golden retriever, but in terms of coat quality, the British golden retriever is harder, and the American golden retriever is softer. Many. In terms of bone mass, there is no obvious difference between the bone mass of the British and American Golden Retrievers when they are young. However, when they reach adulthood, the American Golden Retriever will maintain strong bones, but the British Golden Retriever will become slightly thinner.

Differences in head bones between Britain and the United States: Look at the comparison picture above. Let’s talk about the muzzle first. The British type is thicker, while the American type is a little less. Regarding the width of the muzzle, there is not much difference between Britain and the United States. There is a gap between the eyes of the British type, but it is not deep and extends towards the forehead. The length of the gap is not long (it is normal not to have this gap), while the American type does not have this feature. You can see that the British type has a gap on the top of their head. A protruding skull, which is also a representative feature of the British family. It can also be clearly seen that the shape of the frontal bones of the British and American families is also different. The British family has an oval or egg shape, while the American head appears thick and full. .No protruding skull.

The difference between British and American coat colors: Golden retrievers are allowed to have colors ranging from cream to dark yellow. British breeds are mostly light-colored (pure white is not accepted). American breeds are mostly dark. Color.

The difference between British and American beauty competitions: Due to different regions and different competition system requirements, the beauty requirements of the two are also different. Some people will say, wow, British hair is better There are fewer, but there are more American teams. Is this really the case? If you really understand the European and American competition systems, you will know that the two teams have different standards for judging in the competition. The British team pays more attention to their work ability in the competition. , so it is necessary to highlight the fullness of the chest, strong bones, and overall bone coordination. The American breed is more prominent in the competition for viewing. Therefore, the hair on the muscles does not need to be removed by beauty treatment. The abdominal hair does not need to be removed (there are also some American golden retrievers). The abdominal hair has been cosmetically modified). You can compare it through the above pictures. The British golden retrievers that have not been groomed also have gorgeous hair.

British/American pigments: For the two golden retrievers, the pigment The quality of pigmentation is very important. This is also a part of choosing a golden retriever. You need to consider that the most prominent pigmentation area of ??British golden retrievers is in the eye circles. Because of the color of the coat, it will be more obvious, which is what we commonly call it. Dark circles are also found in American golden retrievers, but because the coat color is darker, the appearance is not very obvious. By the way, let me tell you how to choose a golden retriever with good pigmentation.

, you can observe from the following parts, eye circles, nose, lips, soles, nails, belly color. The darker, the better. There are small pink patches on the nose and soles. Don’t worry, it will turn black slowly. This standard is used with Two lines of golden retrievers.

Where did the golden retriever come from? How many other dog breeds does it have? How many dog ??breeds is the golden retriever improved from?

History: A cross between the yellow flat-coated retriever and the Tweed Spanish water spaniel and the later introduced Irish squat hound and bloodhound.

(Flat-coated Retriever Tweed Water Spaniel Red Setter Bloodhound=Golden Retriever)

Note: It was first used to help fishermen pull their nets

Golden Retriever The pedigree of the dog breed is a dog breed that is developed through many generations of improvements from the above dog breeds.

1. For those who buy large dogs, most of the time, they cannot see the parents of the dogs - most of the breeding dogs are in kennels.

Even if you see it, I suggest you just take a look and don’t take it too seriously - we can’t do a paternity test. Maybe the kennel just took in a group of puppies and found them randomly. A parent or something. So, unless you are very good friends, please don't believe them - no kennel has puppies every month, but the dogs in every kennel have never been born. Why? Just think about it yourself.

2. Based on point 1, my suggestion is to focus more than 95% of your attention on the puppy. After all, this is what is in front of you.

Moreover, babies born from pet dogs may also become champions, and can puppies born from champion dogs become champions 30% of the time? Probably less. What I mean is very simple. As long as you are careful enough, it is possible to pick out a superb puppy from ordinary puppies. However, if you are not careful, you may buy an ordinary puppy from the champion offspring. dog. However, the price difference is not even a little bit different.

3. Things to bring before picking out a dog:

Scale

A small comb with very fine teeth

Thermometer

Wet wipes

Golden retriever information (especially photos) found from magazines and the Internet

4. After seeing the puppy, the golden retriever breed of dog , is crazy in front of people, and usually rushes forward desperately when seeing people. At this time, don't worry, wait until their enthusiasm is over, and then look at the dog carefully (about 20 minutes later, the little guys will settle down).

5. First ask the owner about the order in which these dogs were born, whichever one was born first is better. However, the owner's words are only used as a reference, because they may not be able to remember them. Moreover, for dog owners, they hope to sell the worse puppies first, so that even if the last one or two good dogs cannot be sold, It can also be used as a breeding dog. So, just listen to it.

6. Look at the size of the dogs. Although they are from the same litter, the sizes of the dogs are definitely different. The bigger ones must be more powerful, and they will be the first to eat and drink. These dogs are definitely better.

Several things about the physical fitness of puppies:

a. Weigh. The information contains the weight that puppies should have at each period. There can be a difference, but it cannot be too big. For example, if the weight is only 10 pounds after three months, you definitely can't get it.

b. Take the temperature of the puppy. The temperature of the puppy is between 38 and 39. If it exceeds half a degree, it is fine. If it is higher, there is a problem.

c. Turn up the dog's tail to see if it is clean. If it is not clean, or the nearby hair is stuck together, it means that the dog has recently had problems with excretion and there are hidden dangers.

d. Open your eyelids and look at your eyes. There should be no obvious red blood streaks on them.

The whites of a good dog's eyes are faintly blue, and the pupils are focused and tangible.

e. Hide aside and shout at a medium volume. Dogs that respond quickly have good hearing. If some dogs don’t respond when they shout, they either have hearing problems or are in poor health.

f. Use a small comb to comb the hair backwards to see if there are any parasites on the body.

After reading the physical examination, if there are no problems, then these dogs are ready for purchase. Let’s take a look at the quality of the little golden retriever.

Looking at the quality of golden retrievers, they are arranged in order of importance as follows:

1. Bone quality, which is easiest to see from the paws. Good golden retrievers, even those that are only 30 days old, have very thick claws, more than 5cm in width. Bone mass is extremely important. If there is insufficient bone mass, the golden retriever will have a weak physique in the future and will not become an ideal good dog.

2. Coat color, this is very strange. Everyone likes golden retrievers in different standards. Some friends like golden ones, while others like light yellow (close to white) - in addition to these two colors, there are also Available in black and pure white. However, as the name suggests, golden retrievers are naturally the best in color - many kennels or individuals selling dogs, in order to sell dogs that are not golden, promote another set of theories, haha, wait until they have golden babies. Later, I will change my expression.

The color of the little golden retriever will be basically the same as when it grows up. It will be slightly darker when it grows up - you can refer to the color of the ears.

3. The amount of hair is natural. The more hair, the better. If you comb it carefully with a comb, it is easy to feel the amount of hair of a golden retriever. In theory, the more hair, the better.

4. Fur distribution, straight hair is better than messy hair. When combing, you should pay attention to the color of the inner hair. The color of the golden retriever's coat is gradient. On a good golden retriever baby, you can see the distribution of coat color when it grows up. If you look at it a few times, you will know what I am talking about.

5. The head. The golden retriever’s head has two characteristics. First, there is an obvious bone protrusion at the top of the head. A golden retriever without this protrusion is an impure breed. Secondly, in the middle of the nose, there is a vertical straight line in a concave state. It is better to be deeper than shallow.

6. Mouth. Hold the baby's mouth with your hands. The thicker the mouth of a golden retriever, the wider the mouth will be in the future, otherwise it will easily grow into a sharp-mouthed dog. Within the moderate range, the wider the mouth and the stronger the grip, the better the appearance.

7. Ears. Golden retriever’s ears should not be too big – ears that are too big or too long are not advantages, but defects. Pull the tips of the ears to just cover the front of the golden retriever's eyes. If it exceeds too much, it is a shortcoming.

8. Eyes. When a purebred golden retriever adult dog looks straight ahead, the whites of its eyes should not be exposed - but when choosing a young golden retriever, you should never buy a dog like this. One characteristic of all mammals is that the size of their eyes changes very little after they are born and grow up. Many people's eyes were quite big when they were young, but become smaller as they grow up. This is because the eyes themselves do not change. Therefore, when buying a puppy, you should show the whites of the eyes appropriately - be careful.

9. Nose. The golden retriever’s nose should be black. If it is red, then it is considered solid. Take a closer look.

10. Tail, many friends do not pay attention to the tail when choosing a little golden retriever. Everyone, please pay attention to the way golden retriever models stand. If the tail is tilted upward or flat, someone must have pulled it up. When a golden retriever is standing still, its tail must be hanging diagonally.

When buying a golden retriever baby, his tail should be tucked behind his butt or drooping moderately when standing still. When running, the tail will not be completely straight back, nor will it be curled up like a Chinese garden dog.

Feeding method

Puppies under three months old should be fed four times a day, puppies between three and six months old should be fed three times a day, and puppies after six months should be fed twice a day. As an adult, feed once a day.

Pay attention to calcium and trace elements during growth. If you want your fur to look good, you can eat fur-beautifying foods. The feeding time should be fixed. If there is no food left after one feeding and the dog does not leave the food plate for a long time, add a little food when feeding next time, but there should be no leftover food.

Attention! Do not feed dogs any seasonings, such as soy sauce, salt, MSG, sugar, pepper, aniseed, etc. Do not feed some foods that are not easy to digest, such as soybeans, sesame seeds, etc. Also, you can’t eat fish or anything like that.

The water supply must be sufficient, clean containers must be prepared, do not feed raw water, constantly change fresh water, and do not go several days without changing old water. Let the dog drink water freely.

Estrus cycle

Normal dogs go into estrus twice a year, usually from March to May in spring and September to November in autumn. When a female dog is in estrus, her body and behavior will change. Characteristic signs occur. It mainly manifests itself in the following stages.

① Pre-estrus. It is the preparation stage for estrus, which takes about 7-10 days. The reproductive system begins to prepare for ovulation. The egg is close to maturity, the reproductive tract epithelium begins to proliferate, gland activity begins to intensify, secretions increase, the vulva is congested, the vulva is swollen, flushed, wet and lubricated, and mucus mixed with blood flows. Male dogs often come after smelling it, but female dogs are not allowed to mate.

② Estrus period. This is the period when signs of estrus are most obvious and mating is accepted, lasting about 6-14 days. The outside continues to swell and soften, the mucus flowing out becomes lighter in color, and the bleeding reduces or stops. The bitch takes the initiative or stops. The female dog takes the initiative to approach the male dog. When the male dog climbs up, she takes the initiative to step down on her waist, face the male dog with her buttocks, tilt her tail to one side, and open and close her vulva to allow mating. 2-3 days after estrus, the female dog begins to ovulate, which is the best time for mating.

③Late estrus. The swelling of the vulva subsided and gradually returned to normal. Her temperament became quiet. She was not allowed to become quiet and male dogs were not allowed to approach. It usually lasts for two months and then enters the anestrus period. If you are pregnant, the period after estrus is the pregnancy period.

④Aestrus period. The reproductive organs enter a state of inactivity. It usually lasts about 3 months, and then enters the next proestrus.

Male dogs are in estrus irregularly. During the breeding season when female dogs are in concentrated estrus, the testicles enter a functionally active state. When approaching a female dog in estrus, smelling the special odor of a female dog in estrus can cause excitement. Complete mating.
