1. Overall appearance. A good Golden Retriever has smooth back lines, strong limbs, generous walking posture, and powerful steps. When trotting, the posture is coordinated, the limbs do not turn in or out, and the feet do not interfere with each other. When running fast, the speed is up to standard, the movement is flexible, the stretching is free, and the coordination of muscles and bones is natural and smooth. Occasionally jumping, it is better to have good balance and agile and neat body movements.
2. Coat. Golden retrievers have various coat colors, and the more common ones on the market now include golden yellow, light yellow, white, black, etc. The golden retriever has a double coat. The undercoat is soft and warm. The outer coat is slightly harder, elastic and waterproof. It shines with a unique luster in the sun. There are slightly longer and rich feathers on the back of the thighs and under the tail. The hair should preferably be clean, smooth and free of knots.
3. Eyes. The eyes of a golden retriever should be bright and lively, of medium size and almond-shaped. The pupils are mostly dark brown, with a little bit of the white of the eyes showing through. Have a friendly expression and lively eyes. The eye area is clean. If there are tear stains or thick secretions, it means that the dog is in poor physical condition and may be sick.
4. Nose. A healthy golden retriever's nose is moist, black, and free of cracks and secretions.
5. Ears. A good golden retriever's ears droop naturally, close to the cheek, and should not be too long.
6. Tail. The Golden Retriever has a higher tail root, and the tail hair is naturally fluffy. When standing calmly, the tail naturally hangs down between the two strands, which is different from the upward curling of Asian dogs such as Pastoral Dogs and Japanese Akitas.
