Just as humans have entered the era of longevity, golden retrievers have also ushered in their longevity era. Now the average life span of golden retrievers has reached 10 years, and some golden retrievers can survive 17-18 or even 20 years. Of course, the life span of a hard-working dog and an extremely leisurely dog ​​is very different, but no matter what kind of dog, the life span of more than 15 years is the most common. As long as the breeders pay attention to the dog's physical, exercise and disease health, most dogs will live longer.

One of the reasons is that golden retrievers are now generally vaccinated against filariasis and canine distemper, and golden retrievers suffering from filariasis and canine distemper have basically disappeared. Secondly, the prevention and treatment of intestinal parasitic diseases in golden retrievers has been very thorough, and attention has also been paid to the nutritional balance of golden retrievers. On the contrary, there are indeed many fat golden retrievers that appear due to eating all day long.

A golden retriever can grow to the age of an 18-year-old human within one year

Although the development speed of golden retrievers is somewhat different. But usually a golden retriever can develop and grow to the level equivalent to an 18-year-old human when it is one year old. After each passing year, the growth rate of golden retrievers is approximately equivalent to 4-5 human years.

If further subdivided, it can be divided into: 3-4 months ago, it is a golden retriever cub stage, when it grows to 3 months, it is a golden retriever puppy, when it is 6 months old, it can be called a small golden retriever, and when it is about 1 and a half years old, it is its youth. , when they grow to 7 and a half years old, the golden retriever should be considered to be in their prime, and after this age, they are in the old age stage. Among them, the most important period for a golden retriever is its teenage years. At this stage, the golden retriever is in the most critical period of body growth and personality formation. Breeders should pay attention to its food preparation, mental care and training. Work hard.

Golden retriever female dogs have two estrus periods every year, and they are willing to mate only during this period

The estrus period of golden retriever female dogs can start as early as about 6 months after birth, and may not come into estrus until 1 and a half years old. The average interval between each estrus is 6 months, a total of 2 times a year. When a golden retriever female dog is in estrus, her tail will be swollen and she will bleed for more than 10 consecutive days. Generally, she will not be willing to mate until 10-12 days after the bleeding. These days are called the mating period. During the estrus period, golden retriever female dogs will not be interested in golden retriever male dogs.

Unlike golden retriever female dogs, golden retriever male dogs do not have any estrus period and can mate at any time within a year.
