The Goldador: A Complete and Comprehensive Owners Guide To: Buying, Owning, Health, Grooming, Training, Obedience, Understanding and Caring for Your Goldador

The Goldador is a relatively new breed of dog that has been developed within the last two decades. The Goldador is a mix of both the Labrador Retriever and the Golden Retriever. The aim of the breed’s development was to create a sensitive, tolerant, intelligent and highly trainable working dog – the efforts proved to be highly successful! The Goldador is now considered one of the top choices for organizations that train guide and assistance dogs. Despite the Goldador’s popularity as an assistance dog, the Goldador is not a popular household pet breed. As of January 2017, there are no breed clubs or breeding standards for the Goldador. The Goldador is a highly alert breed which also means that it makes an excellent watchdog, but the Goldador is also a highly inquisitive and friendly breed which means that it is not a very effective guard dog. The temperament of dogs is normally affected by the following factors: individual personality, heredity, training and socialization. It is therefore important to make sure that you meet the puppy’s mother before purchasing a Goldador. It is also important to make sure to thoroughly socialize your Goldador with strangers, children and other animals during its puppyhood. Generally speaking, the Goldador has a desire to please its owner which makes it an incredibly easy breed to train. Despite its unpopularity as a household pet, the Goldador is known to get along well within a household enviroment due to the fact that it gets along well with strangers, children and other animals (providing that it has been socialized properly during its puppyhood). The Goldador has a double coat in a similar fashion to a Labrador Retriever. The breed’s top coat is short, thick and straight while its undercoat is soft and dense. Generally the Goldador’s coat will range from yellow to gold in coloration. However due to the lack of a breeding standard, the Goldador is also known to occasionally have a reddish brown coat. It is important to note that as a cross between two working breeds, the Goldador has a high amount of energy which needs to be expended. If the Goldador has a buildup of energy it is likely to develop destructive behaviors due to boredom or hyperactivity.

Before purchasing any pet it is important to understand that as a pet owner you are responsible for the care and wellbeing of your pet.
