      As a show dog, he's been groomed enough times that he's been trained and knows exactly what to expect. He comes from one of the most relaxed, mellow breeds there is(one of the closest things to the ideal dog for 90% of households). Combine with that the fact that he's got at least one parent willing and able to invest top dollar for his needs(doing the show dog circuit is NOT cheap), and you have what is essentially every groomer's dream client.

(With "intelligence" meaning obedience trainability. There are other kinds of intelligence.) I read recently a comment from someone who had trained most of the breeds in the top 10. They said that goldens' learning curve was a bit slower than that of some of the other breeds in the top 10, but their eagerness to please made up for that.
      There's no way golden retrievers are dim dogs on average. They are one of the preferred breeds, along with Labradors and German shepherds, that are used for seeing eye work, which is very demanding.

      Okay can we just take a moment to admit that while golden retrievers are extra lovable because they look like they’re smiling, that’s not actually a smile, it’s just a visual feature based on their face and head shape. Smiling is a phenomenon in humans and some other primates. Do cows smile? What about hippos? No, well neither do dogs. Now I will grant you that a tail wag = happy. But let’s stop overly humanising animals.

    Before his bath, Oakley looks so much like my deceased baby boy Biscuit that I almost cried. Golden retrievers are such a lovely dogs! They require a lot of time with training and grooming and upkeep though. My boy would get hot spots And they're not a good dog for people who don't have at least 5 hours of free time of day. What a beautiful grooming session!

    Growing up, my family took in a giant schnauzer who was a retired show dog. She was used for breeding, and didn’t know life outside of a crate until she came to live with us. My opinion of show dogs is still skewed because of this, but it’s good to know that a lot of show dogs are beloved family pets.

      I agree; he reminds me of my golden. He is just happy to be there so you can really do anything. He even loves going to the vet because he gets attention and he never minds the temperature, vaccines, or prodding. It comes down to socializing him as a puppy but going to a very good breeder is the biggest difference. I've had a groomer say he was the best-behaved dog he has seen in his career which put a huge smile on my face.

  • @TheAuthenticIsOutThere
    @TheAuthenticIsOutThere Год назад +723

    This made me miss my pooh bear so much. When I was born, I was brought home to a proud golden retriever. Who, for some reason, thought I belonged to him and him only. He was constantly watching over me and no longer wanted to be in the yard. He wanted to be everywhere I was at all times and even found a way to lay in the crib next to me. Which was very hard to do considering he was the largest golden I have ever seen till this day. He got scolded for climbing in my crib but would still get right back in there. He even growled at my grandmom and other family members 1 time for passing me around and holding me. He really felt like I was his baby. Lol
    Eventually, people accepted that he was a proud dad, and he was allowed to become a house dog and was literally my best friend.
    We even tried to figure out how to get him to come to grade school with me. Lol. I miss him so much.🐶💕

    I am so glad that you mentioned the true nature of showing dogs. I was in a breed club and most of the dogs were also loved as pets, spoiled etc. If you work with dogs early, they will enjoy grooming. I had one that would walk into my stall shower, turn around and look at me when he wanted a bath! Several owners also were working in getting companion dog degrees and for me, a lure coursing degree as well. Yes, it is an expensive hobby.

    I never had experience with GRs until recently when i was asked by a colleague to house/dog sit while she was in Europe with her husband for two months. I had no experience doing either task. What they had lined up had fallen through so i jumped in to help a friend. Where they live is a cozy residential area about an hours drive from me, close to the Ottawa River...was once considered cottage country. Lots of nice places to walk. Anyway, I met Nikki, female GR, once very briefly before coming and I was worried that I wouldn't do a good job by her. She didn't know me but I took her darling face in my hands and promised her I would take care of her. I remember when she first smiled at me. I didn't know they smile like that and right into your eyes. I worked from home at the time so I transferred my "office" there and so I wasn't commuting. Instead early in the morning and after work, we walked together. But then those walks turned into ventures and we went everywhere. We would drive on weekends and go to places to explore and just hang out. I didnt go anywhere without her. She likes carrots and broccoli so I always had fresh chopped veggies for her. I know it sounds weird but I feel like we became fast friends and buddies. I miss her and sometimes I get teary when I think about her like right now.

When I'd take him to run free in the woods across the street from my house, he'd go into the creek and was sometimes almost impossible to get out. He also took himself for many swims in our pool, whether there were any humans ther, or just by himself on a hot day. When it was time for a bath, I'd tell him to jump up into our laundry room tubs - front feet in one tub, back feet in the other. He loved it!
