The golden retriever is a very docile and lovely dog. Many friends also want to raise a beautiful golden retriever. But is it better to adopt a male Golden Retriever? Or is it better to adopt a female Golden Retriever? Don’t worry, below we will introduce to you the advantages and disadvantages of raising male and female Golden Retrievers.

1. Advantages and Disadvantages of Golden Retriever

In terms of character, male Golden Retrievers are resolute, combative, and lively. At the same time, the appearance is taller and more tangible, which means it is more beautiful. However, they are not as docile as female golden retrievers, and training them is more time-consuming than female golden retrievers. But it is easier to care for: there is no need for the trouble of conception and postpartum care of the female dog.

2. Advantages and Disadvantages of Female Golden Retrievers

The female Golden Retriever has a docile personality and is easily trained and can quickly master various skills. However, female Golden Retrievers will have blood everywhere when they go into heat twice a year, which will also increase the trouble of pregnancy and calving.

However, from an economic point of view, it is more cost-effective to adopt female golden retrievers than male golden retrievers. Because female golden retrievers can give birth to cubs, according to the market price, a little golden retriever can cost more than a thousand yuan.

In addition, if you don’t want your dog to have children, you can also undergo sterilization surgery, which can reduce a lot of trouble. Therefore, whether to raise a male Golden Retriever or a female Golden Retriever should be decided according to the purpose of raising a dog.

3. Choose a purebred dog or a mixed breed dog?

Under normal circumstances, you should try to choose purebred dogs instead of hybrid dogs. Because hybrid dogs have the following shortcomings: unsightly appearance, easy to mutate, few outstanding talents, and the value of the bred puppies is not high. In addition, mutts cannot participate in dog shows. If the purpose is to breed and participate in dog shows, it is better to spend the same energy and time raising purebred dogs than to raise purebred dogs.

But hybrid dogs also have their advantages: low price and easy to raise, while purebred dogs are expensive and prone to diseases. Therefore, if you just keep a dog for fun, there is not much difference between a purebred golden retriever and a hybrid golden retriever.
