Can I take care of a Golden retriever myself ??

Question

Im 16 years old and I LOVE golden retrievers and I always wanted one ... can I take care of it myself ?

Answer 1

It depends. If you have a lot of spare time and money (if you have to buy it yourself) then it would be a great idea. And if you are willing to pick up after them!

They are big dogs, so naturally they need to be walked a lot.

Good luck!

Answer 2

i depends are you the only one who will take care of the dog or are others involved

If its you  then you have to think as far as the money situation

i have a golden and she takes alot of care as far as feeding and brushing and the vet bills they dont like to be alone they like to be included. they like lots of exercise and a place to run around

just think it you want to invest alot of your time into taking care of the dog

think of the dog and not just yourself before you get the dog

Answer 3

Yes and no. If you are busy with school, a job, and friends, after school activities then no. Golden retrievers need lots of attition, and walks.
