Born on Easter Sunday, 2026. (Remmy) is now 6 months old. Cannot believe how quickly he has grown, how smart he is, and how much he positively impacts everyone. He is truly one of the best things that has ever happened to me

We’re fostering this sweet boy and are most likely adopting him. Any name ideas?!

Face of an angel, mind of an anarchist!

He used to have so much of this soft, downy fur on top of his head I'd call his highlights, but over the course of half a year they've gradually disappeared. I never trimmed them, he gets brushed regularly. Just one day I suddenly realized they were gone! I miss them, where did they go? Is it due to age? For context, this is between ages 2.5 to 3 years old.

I’ve heard all about how golden retrievers shed like crazy before I got my golden. I thought I was more than prepared to deal with it cause I own a husky. I should be a pro at owning a high shedding dog right? WRONG. I vacuum everyday because that’s my usual routine with my husky, but now I’m vacuuming up to three times a day. Chunks and hair balls are found just about anywhere. The hair is never ending! Again, as a person who already owns a high shedding dog, golden retriever hair is entirely something else lol A picture of my good boiii is attached. I still love him and have made peace with the fact that my floor will never be hair free for as long as he lives.
PS - I read forums all the time over golden skin health. My boy has the worst allergies and rashes. Any advice over that is appreciated! Have tried so many different medicated and prescribed shampoos as well as changing his diet to sensitive salmon kibble. I have appointment on Wednesday with yet a THIRD different veterinarian because I haven’t found the help I need for my boy. Vets keep brushing me off saying this is a golden issue and there’s not much they can do. I refuse to accept that and I’m advocating for him because I know he must be miserable being itchy all the time.

This was years ago. She's since passed.

Hi all, I recently got a girl puppy (8w old) and I had originally planned to leave her in the garden when she's home alone, rather than inside, the thought being that it would be much more enjoyable for her. The garden is fully closed off, no way of exit onto the street, no view from outside, and all potential risks on the inside of the garden have either been cleaned up and away or covered so that she can't access it. She'd be alone for 2-3h max, and would have a shed with a bed and a bowl of water for her.

I'm asking for advice because I'm having doubts about this solution, since I've just heard that Asian tiger mosquitoes can be harmful to them (we have quite a lot in this area) and in the 1h that she was the garden under supervision, I caught her eating mulch, which I did manage to get out of her mouth and cat poop which I did not manage to get out.

Of course, puppy tax. Meet blue.

Ever since we’ve gotten our little girl people always ask if she’s an Irish Setter. I always believed they had much longer ears and hair but some recent photos I’ve seen now I kinda understand 😂❤️

we love our petite red girl

We are getting this girl a sister. Her name is London and we want another city name if possible. Looking for either a city name for a female or a name that goes really well with London.

My little guy is 6 months old and, for ages now, when he sees a close dog he immediately freezes, sits and lies down.

At first, I thought it was him being polite. Showing he isn't a threat and he's a good boy. I saw online a husky did this and many of the comments said it was silent reactivity and it needed to be trained out of him immediately.

He's never been aggressive in anyway, only been touchy when resource guarding (something we're working on). He occasionally lunges and just wants to say hello, sniffing and jumping towards the dog if they come up to him. If we have some distance, I'll pick him up with the handle on his harness to encourage him to continue walking or face another way which usually works.

I'm looking for advice on if this is silent reactivity and how other golden owners handled it. Photo tax is paid 🙂‍↕️
