What would be better for my dog golden retriever?

Question

I am getting a golden retriever soon girl puppy but i wanted two so if I had to leave they would be fine should I get 2 females or 1 female 1 male? And I have had dogs before and helped out with dog walking so lots of experience! And should I get a golden retriever or a labrador? Both so cute!

Answer 1

I have two dogs one is 9 years, had her since she was 9 weeks old.  The other was a rescue 3 years ago, he is 5 now.  Having two is a lot more work and they can undo the others good behavior as much as they can teach good behavior.

I have a male rescue because none of  the females I introduced to my older dog got along with her.  

I believe dog walking to be a very important activity even if you have a large yard for them.  Walking two dogs can be tricky, it took a while for me to get it right.  Remember you are not walking SPCA's dogs, these will live with you.  

I could go on about the social gaps in dogs that have been kenneled a long time.  The 8 month old worries me because by that time social development may be fixed and hard to correct.  The 2 year old will also be fixed as far as social development but is at a calmer age.

Perhaps the tie breaker is to take home the least adoptable dog, figuring that someone else will take the other dog.  Larger, darker dogs are always hardest to place.

Answer 2

LAB! I really like them both! But, labs have less grooming. Whatever you want, I would say two lab females! Or you could get a lab and a golden retriever!!!  Labs are very smart, and so are golden retrievers!!! Whatever you would like, I would do some research on them first, and then decide!!! GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...

Answer 3

Mike L, I love the look of a labrador retriever. They are so cute.

Answer 4

Getting 2 puppies at the same time can be very tricky.  Unless you want them to bond to eachother and ignore you, two puppies are twice the work.  But if you are determined to get two puppies, it's better to get a girl and a boy.

Answer 5

Well, if you want them to 'mate' you should adopt a female and male, if not well you can go with your 2 females.

Well, pick the one you like best, but I like golden retriever better!

Good luck!

Answer 6

get too that get along with eatchother

Answer 7

Well adopt, what ever happens happens. (:

Answer 8

definitely golden retriever-1 male and female registered then you can breed full blood golden retrievers

Answer 9

I would get 2 female Golden Retrievers, unless of course you want them to mate. Although, if they have puppies, the female gets very possesive and agressive even after the puppies are gone. Not to her owners, but she'll probably get jealous of the other if he gets more attention, and she'll most likely explode at any unfamiliar people or dogs. Golden Retrievers are also more gentle than labs, at least in my experience.

Answer 10

I think you should get a Golden Retriever and get a boy and a girl, so you can get a mix of both. If you pick them out whatever ones are more friendly, then you know what you should get.
