DESCRIPTION
TEMPERAMENT
The Goldador is affectionate, loyal, and loving. They are extremely family oriented and do not do well if left alone for extended periods of time. They will become destructive if bored or lonely. Goldador puppies and dogs are well-suited for homes with children, dogs, and other household pets. They make good watchdogs that will alert their family to visitors and out of the ordinary sounds. Goldador puppies and dogs may also be dominant and are typically exuberant.
GROOMING
Regular brushing with a firm bristle brush is recommended to remove loose and dead hair for the Goldador. Bathing should only be done when absolutely necessary using a mild shampoo.
HEALTH
It is important to regularly check and clean the ears. Goldador puppies and dogs may be prone to such health issues as ear infection, hip dysplasia, PRA, heart problems, and Von Willebrand's Disease.
EXERCISE
Goldador puppies and dogs are highly active and require an inordinate amount of physical exercise and mental stimulation. They do best in a suburban or rural setting where there is ample secure space to roam and run. Goldador puppies and dogs enjoy family activities, swimming, and long, brisk walks.
TRAINING
Early socialization and obedience is recommended. Goldador puppies and dogs are sensitive and intelligent. They will not respond to harsh or heavy-handed methods. Training must be done with firmness, fairness, patience, and consistency.
