I might get a dog soon any advice?
golden retriever puppy
Answers:
YES, make sure you have a lotta free time for your puppy. You also got to get a lot of toys to keep him occupied, get him a collar w/ a name tag(I know you think he won't ever get away but it sometimes happens okay?) Also, don't hit or smack or yell at him(Im sure you already know this but just in case) Take a lot of time to teach him basic rules of behaviour that can be found by using a search engine Type in Puppy care tips or traing tips. You might want to remember that when you let your puppy in(if your gonna) that when he first runs inside that he is going to be really excited and playful, dancing around and whatnot, TALK CALMLY TO HIM UNTIL HE CALMS DOWN AND DON"T PET HIM UNTIL HE CALMS DOWN because if you reward the excited state of mind he will be more likely to jump up and scratch you when he is older. Hope I helped and if you have any puppy questions(I know a lot about it and it would take a very long time to type it all) just emaIl me at RE GothicFairy@aol.com<<<there is a space between RE and Gothic and if that doesn't work my other e-mail is SELENEVAMPRESS use the other first though. Have fun!
take good care of it and love it
Read and ask others how to take care of a dog.
puppy proof your house they try to get into everything but good luck and enjoy
DON'T DO IT!! Unless you are prepared and able to give it two or three hours of exercise a day.
If you do, it would be happier as one of a pair. It would be happier with a warm bed, with a ticking clock (heartbeat) and a cuddly toy it can chew or just cuddle. Start training from day one, it's always easier earlier.
I heard they make very good dogs they are just extremely hyper. But easy to potty train! Good luck!
If you never had one before, ask some friends who have dogs if you can borrow their dog or watch it for them for a week or so and see if you are prepared for the commitment that comes with it.
When you are sure you want a dog, let the dog chose you.
I am a big advocate of the VERY FIRST thing you should do is make sure you have a good vet near you AND the money to afford ANY routine AND emergency care. Read some of the postings on here. It can be very sad. Oh and plenty of room for it to play.
Dogs are a lot more expensive that you might think.
Those are cute dogs - but be ready to take the good with
the bad. The good - undying loyalty to you. The bad -
chewed up shoes, cleaning up the yard, etc. Congrats.
on being able to get one though!
Just remember that they are a mjor commitment. You have to walk them at breakfast, lunch and dinner. They cost a lot of money as well but will give you lots of pleasure. Try this site.
Dogs are for life,not just for christmas.
research the breeder, make sure there is a health guarantee especially on hips. these dogs have a lot of genetic problems including eyes.
Read everything you can find on golden retrievers, ask owners what to expect when the dog grows up, and make sure you have the patience to take care of the puppy! But I would recommend not to get from a breeder, go to a shelter, there are lots of dogs out there that would love a home. I adopted, and I'm glad I did. I have the sweetest dog ever.
Better start putting chords up now. Keep everything off the floor. My golden Retriever sometimes pissed on my floor cause i was at work and wasnt able to let her out. I used this spray called Hot Shot to clean the stain and it worked really well.
Goldens are in general very nice happy dogs. They need a lot of excercise and need to be brushed. My advice is to research the breeds you are interested in and consider what they were meant to do. Consider your life style. If you are getting a pup-demand a lot from the breeder. The Flat-coated Retriever website has a list of questions to ask before you buy a puppy. You could also find some that need rescued at petfinder.org. Don't forget at least a basic obedience class as well.
start training early and dont give up, other wise you have a very disobedient dog on your hands and it gets annoying. Also take the time to use a language dictionary and train them in another language I taught my chow all her commands in Italian that way she only listened to me.
oh god! its a lot of work! i got a beagle puppy last year and was not prepared for all the work. make sure you get a cage big enough for it to be full grown in. keep it in there at night and when you are not home so it wont tear up your entire house. spend a lot of time teaching it to go to the door when it has to go "potty" so it wont do it inside (so often). you will need toys and plenty of puppy pads to put down on the floor, they can also be put outside too (there is a scent on them that draws the dog to pee on it). and basically just spend a lot of time with it. make sure it gets all of its shots and has regular visits to the vet.
Many questions. How old are you? Do your parents approve (if you live at home)? Are you are mature, responsible person who not only provide food and water but also emotional needs by playing with him/her every day the rest of their life?
I suggest you go to an animal rescue place where you can adopt one and they will tell you what is required to be a good dog owner.
Think carefully before you get one, they take up a lot of your time and they need to be fed properly and taken for walks two or three times a day. The rewards for this are great and many. Happy `walkies`!
if you do make sure you have suitable space and pen area plus plenty of time for walking. You will enjoy your pet much more if you are well prepared for it!
p.s. Boxers are class pets!
I hope you like walking and drying retrievers love water mud when you get your pup start to dicipline it straight away keep an eye out for its good points and if it can be used for a specific purpose call it something so the dog will know that its ok its a long process my dog is 4 and is still learning so best of luck
Any dog will thrive on lots of chew toys and lots of love!
Make sure your ready walk allot or go hunting, Any retriever is a high energy dog and will need lots of exercise, if they don't get it they become just a little destructive. Make sure you get a dog that fits your life style, I'm a hunter, so I love My Chesapeake bay retriever. My friend on the other hand is kind of a home body so the mine poodle was my choice for her and she just loves her, not high maintenance indoor dog, that dose not shed. Remember that there all cute and cuddly for only about 6 months, then you had better be ready to deal with that animals personalty, which is built into them, I.E. German Shepperd is a Gard dog by nature, and retriever is a Retriever by nature,etc.. So make your choice wisely.
Remember that it won't be a puppy long, and will soon be a very big, very active dog. Make sure you're ready for at least a 15 year commitment. If you're not, please don't get the dog.
Good luck!
make sure you can look after it and be its owner for life, give it plenty of love and it will love you back.
Here is a web site with lots of information for you. Give your puppy lots of love and attention you will be glad you did.

Dogs are an investment. An investment of time, money and effort. Please be willing to care for your pet, this includes regular vet care as well as the surprise things that come up from time to time. Be willing to walk your dog, play with your dog and train it so its a nice dog to have and enjoy around others as well as yourself. Be prepared to love you dog, even after the "new dog" isn't so new anymore. This isn't a toy you can throw to the back of the closet when you get bored with it. Please be willing to spend time with your dog daily. Dogs need interaction with you daily, not just when you feel like it, and just because you decided to to something else, doesn't mean your dog can wait for food, potty breaks and general care and concern from you. You must be willing to care for the dog whether you are sick or well, busy or bored and no matter what, your dog will depend on you for kindness, understanding and care. If you can't do it, don't get one. If you are mature enough to not only do that, but more, you are on your way to being a responsible human being who will reap years of reward from your dogs companionship, obedience and general well being. Good luck to you and I hope you get a wonderful, loving dog that you treat very well!
I have a dog and it's very nice but it has one let down. It barks all the time and very loud. I don't know why and I have to just put up with it now but fortunately it does not bark at night!
