Free your schedule for cleaning up hair as Golden Retrievers shed all year, becoming heavier in spring and autumn. The dog isn’t the only thing you’ll see around the house all day. So be sure your house or apartment is large enough to host such an active and intelligent dog, even if you’ve got a yard. Having a yard can be helpful, but as Goldens are very social dogs they’ll prefer staying inside with their families rather than running around by themselves outdoors. You’ll have to give your dog enough room to move freely around the house.

Females are smaller, but they still need space to move, being 20-22 inches tall (51-56 cm) and weigh between 55 and 70 pounds (25-32 kg). A male Golden is about 23-24 inches tall (58-61 cm) and weighs between 60 and 75 pounds (27-32 kg).
