My beautiful girl Mango had a litter on June 10th! She had 10 beautiful little babies! Mango has been an absolute angel since she was born, very disciplined, very very loving and super healthy! Never had a vet visit! She’s literally a golden child! She has such a calm and gentle temperament and so good with children. Same with her baby daddy Toby! I think that Toby is more gentle than Mango! But same with her he is super healthy, from a very golden obsessed family just like Mango so both dogs are super loved! We only have 1 boys left to find forever homes! •They will come vaccinated up to 8 weeks •They will be microchipped (too early to do so yet) •Wormed up to 8 weeks (this will be 4 treatments) •They will be well socialised •Developing toilet training skills (hopefully will be fully toilet trained as they’re already doing so well) •We will do some anxiety training such as vacuums and fireworks sensitivity •Sensory training •Fed only premium food! And they will learn (hopefully) a lot of angel behaviours from their mama! Open for people to come and view the little pups! Just send a message. Viewing only as they are only 4 weeks old at the moment.

Golden Retriever – Mudgee

Born on Easter Sunday (31st March) in Mudgee (NSW), these healthy little bundles of joy will be available to take home from around the 26th May at 8 weeks of age. The litter includes 5 beautiful boys and 4 girls, with a range in colourings from white to dark golden. All have a beautiful temperament and seem well adjusted thanks to some early socialising. UPDATE: Only 2 puppies left! THE PUPPIES PARENTS: Both are happy, healthy and well-loved purebred golden retrievers, without any known hereditary issues. Please note, we are not dog breeders, so the parents are both pets who are cared for ethically, like family in our home and raised in regional NSW with plenty of space to run around. This is Tipsy’s first litter of puppies (and likely her only one). Here’s a little bit more info on each: MUM – ‘TIPSY’ Tipsy is the wine dog at Yeates Wines here in Mudgee. She’s been featured in the latest Wine Dogs book, NSW Wine, the Australian, and the Grapegrowers & Winemakers magazine ‘top dogs’ edition. Tipsy was the first-born of her little and now 3 years old, she’s a beautifully natured dog with a sassy side to her which we love. She is a purebred golden retriever from the championship Piarki pedigree bloodline which is of exceptional quality. She’s grown up around plenty of dogs and people at the cellar door and loves kids! DAD – ‘BENTLEY’ Bentley was born 6 months after Tipsy to a friend of ours and is very sweet with Tipsy. He is darker in colouring and is also a purebred golden retriever, from Wolki pedigree. GOLDEN RETRIEVERS If you’re after a family-friendly pet, then look no further. These gentle giants are beautiful in every way. They are incredibly intuitive, social, affectionate, loyal, and gentle – especially with kids. If you’re at home during the day that’s a bonus as they prefer to be around people. INCLUDED: - Vaccinated - Microchipped - Health Check (eyes, ears, heart, temperature etc) - Dewormed - A puppy starter pack including: food to get you started, a few toys and essentials, your puppy’s vaccination certificate, and a little info guide with a shopping list, plus a few tips, tricks and ‘next steps’ to help you cut through all the backseat drivers and over-abundance of advice on google. A little note to finish, as this will be Tipsy’s only litter of puppies, we want to make sure they’re going to good homes. Only owners with experience with (or a willingness to learn) looking after golden retrievers will be considered and a few screening questions will be required.

The Ultimate Golden Retriever Guide

About Golden Retriever

Golden Retrievers are among the most popular dog breeds worldwide. Their friendly disposition, combined with their beautiful golden coats, makes them a favourite for families, service work, and as companions.

Lifespan

Lifespan

10 to 12 years

Weight

Weight

25 to 34 kg

Height

Height

55 to 61 cm

Grooming

Grooming

Golden Retrievers have a double coat that consists of a soft undercoat and a water-resistant outer coat.

Origins

Originating from the Scottish Highlands in the 1800s, the Golden Retriever was bred to be a hunting dog, suitable for retrieving game from both water and land because of their water-resistant double coat. Their excellent nose, friendly demeanour, and love for water have made them not only great hunting dogs but also outstanding family companions and service dogs.

Key Characteristics Of Golden Retrievers

Are Golden Retrievers Family-Friendly?

Yes. Golden Retrievers are known for their affectionate nature and patient temperament, which make them ideal family pets. They get along splendidly with children and other animals. Their friendly disposition means they aren’t the best guard dogs, but they’ll certainly announce the arrival of visitors with a hearty bark.

Common Health Issues & Considerations

Golden Retrievers may suffer from:

Hip Dysplasia

Elbow Dysplasia

Progressive Retinal Atrophy

Nature / Temperament

Friendly, Intelligent, Loyal, Gentle, Playful

Suitable Environment

A house with a medium to large backyard is ideal, but they can adapt to apartment living as long as their exercise needs are met. However, they are social animals and thrive on human interaction, so they shouldn’t be left alone for long periods.

Other Considerations

Their webbed feet make them excellent swimmers.

They can carry an egg in their mouth without breaking it, showcasing their soft mouth – a trait bred for retrieving game unharmed.

Beyond family pets, they excel in roles like search-and-rescue, sniffing out drugs, and as therapy and assistance dogs.

How can I take good care of my Golden Retriever?

Nutrition

Golden Retrievers do well on high-quality dog food, whether commercially manufactured or home-prepared. It’s essential to monitor the amount of food and reduce portions if your dog gains weight. Ensure they have clean, fresh water at all times.

Grooming

Their double coat needs regular brushing to prevent matting and reduce shedding.

Exercise

At least an hour of exercise daily is ideal for most Golden Retriever puppies. This can be broken into two or more walk/play sessions.

Training

Start training early, leveraging their intelligence and eagerness to please. Positive reinforcement techniques work best. Socialisation from a young age is crucial.

This is general information and should not be relied on for adopting or purchasing advice.

Most Asked Golden Retriever Questions

Not typically. They’re not known as excessive barkers, but they will alert you to strangers or unusual occurrences.

Yes. In fact, many mixed breed dogs bring together the best traits of both parent breeds. However, it’s important to find a responsible breeder who specialises in the mixed breed that you’re looking for.

Finding a reputable Golden Retriever breeder is the key to getting a healthy, well-behaved Golden Retriever puppy. A puppy from an ethical breeder has a much better chance of growing into a calm, gentle adult dog. The average cost of a Golden Retriever puppy for sale in SA is usually around AUD $1500 to $3000.
