That is going to be a big and great looking golden when he gets older. That head is enormous.

My family use to breed Goldens, and that is a real nice looking dog!!

Great pictures and new companion, Eric. Golden retriever is the first on the list of canines if I could own one..

Couple questions, I heard they're the most shedding breed ever. Can you put up with it, or is it not as bad as it sounds.. Is it only as a puppy or as an adult also?

I heard they're infamous for having the elbow/bone disease whatever it's called.. I'm sure it's mostly non pure breed retrievers.. ? Or do they have to be inspected by a vet before getting one?

If you're considering getting a dog, but are concerned about health issues, consider a mutt. Mutts have much fewer health problems and are more resilient overall than purebreds. I think every purebred has their own health problems you have to worry about.
