Things to Consider
Golden retrievers live on an average of 10 to 12 years of age and generally have good health! Most will enjoy a long happy life. Exercise and tender loving care are something to also consider for them. They like to be groomed often and will accept any attention that you will give them especially petting. Most love the water to play in and love to go swimming. But most of all their biggest joy is in retrieving anything that you will throw for them.
