Which Sex?

Many people interested in adopting a Golden express a desire for a specific gender of Golden Retriever. In many breeds, the differences between males and females are striking, with notable behavior differences.(All of our dogs have been spayed or neutered so behaviors issues such as marking and wandering are less of a problem.)

In the Golden Retriever, the difference between males and females is primarily one of size. Males are generally larger, weighing between 65 and 80 pounds, while females tend to weigh between 50 to 60 pounds. Both sexes vary in color and coat length.

Goldens are known for their friendly nature and devotion to humans.Each dog is unique.Personality varies widely in the Golden world, just as it does in the human world. In making a match between new family and Golden, personality and temperment are the most important factors to consider in finding the newest member of your family. Either gender will steal your heart with their endearing ways!
