Original task

The original purpose of the Golden Retriever can be seen in its name: "Retriever" comes from the English "to retrieve", which means to retrieve or bring back. When hunting, the dog should track down the hunted game. With a so-called soft mouth, i.e. without damaging it, he should then bring it to the hunter - from every thicket and water.


Raising a Golden

A Golden puppy can become a real piece of gold. Always provided that he is raised and trained in a species-appropriate, loving and consistent manner.

This retriever with the long fur likes to laze around with his family in front of the TV. But he is also a highly specialized hunting dog. As such he needs a lot of exercises and mental load.
