Adopting a Golden Retriever

Frequently asked questions about acquiring an Golden Retriever - the pros and cons of adopting versus going through a breeder, and associated costs.

The easiest way to buy a Golden Retriever is through a rescue that specializes in Golden Retrievers. A great place to start would be by starting a breed search on Adopt a Pet. The search will show you all the available Golden Retrievers in your area.

The cost to buy a Golden Retriever is between $500 and $4,000, depending on whether or not they’re from working dog or show-dog bloodlines. Buying Golden Retrievers from breeders can be prohibitively expensive, but you can adopt a Golden Retriever at a much lower price. The cost to adopt a Golden Retriever from a shelter or rescue is around $300 in order to cover the expenses of caring for the dog before adoption.

Many people find Golden Retriever puppies to be worth the time, effort, money, and commitment required to raise them. But they aren’t the right fit for every lifestyle. Golden Retrievers require an active lifestyle with regular exercise and mental stimulation and significant time and effort in terms of training, socialization, and grooming. And remember that dogs have a relatively long lifespan, so make sure you’re fully committed before adopting any dog.

Golden Retriever fun facts

Fun Facts:

Golden Retrievers are the go-to disability assistance dogs, especially for leading the blind or deaf. They're naturally good workers, so they also do well in drug and bomb detection, wheelchair assistance, therapy, and search-and-rescue efforts.

Golden Retrievers were bred for retrieving shot waterfowl during hunting parties, and as such their mouths are incredibly gentle. this adds to the perception that they are great family dogs.

Golden Retrievers are, for a dog, as close as you can get to a fish. These dogs love being in the water, and can spend hours happily splashing in and out of your nearest ocean, lake, or river.
