We’ve never had a full bred golden before…because of the shedding. But after losing our doodle recently we are really considering a lab or golden but I’m very worried about the amount of hair that we are not used to. I know it’s a lot. But is it a big deal? We have three little kids, one with eczema…although it doesn’t seem related to dogs because he’s with them all the time and does fine. I’m more worried about feeling overly consumed with dog hair 24/7.

Hey guys, I really need your help. I’m genuinely at my wit’s end.
My Golden Retriever puppy just isn’t eating, and I’ve tried almost everything I can think of. I’ve tried chicken broth, Cerelac, Royal Canin wet food, and even grinding Royal Canin kibble with warm water to make it easier for him to eat. But he just refuses to eat.
He weighs around 2.5 kg and is active, which is honestly quite ironic considering how little he eats.
I took him to the vet, and initially, the doctor said he was still settling into his new home and that his appetite would improve with time. Today is his fifth day at my home, but there’s still been no improvement in his eating habits.
He absolutely loves going out onto our lawn. It’s one thing he genuinely looks forward to, and he even whines when I don’t take him there. So, while he seems to enjoy playing and exploring, getting him to eat is a completely different story.
The vet has prescribed a few medicines, including Hep N sure syrup, but I haven’t seen any improvement yet.

The thing is, I lost my dog of 12 years last year, and bringing a new puppy home was a huge emotional step for me. Now, every time he refuses to eat, I panic. I know this might be making me more anxious, but I genuinely don’t know what to do anymore.
Has anyone here had a puppy who barely ate during the first few days or weeks but eventually turned out completely healthy?
What helped? Did their appetite improve once they settled into their new home? And, most importantly, how long did it take?
I’m not looking for a diagnosis from Reddit. I just want to hear from people who’ve been through something similar, especially those whose puppies are now happy and healthy.
I feel so helpless right now, and honestly, I could really use some reassurance. Please share your experiences. ❤️

I am on my fourth dog, now 13 weeks old. She already had one scare as she swallowed the last 2 inches of a bully. So I bought thinner ones thinking it wouldn’t be as dangerous and she did the same! Even used a bully holder before and she pulled it out. None of my other dogs did this, what can I safely give her to chew instead of my limbs?

a year ago today, i lost my sweet boy tucker. i have a feeling he passed on 10/27 to come back to visit us. i set up my first ofrenda for him, which i am very proud of. i miss him every day and hope he is okay and will find his way home. 🩵

Boba is loving this weather, and his stick.

I'm nervous. Please send good vibes hoping it's nothing. She is such an important part of our family.

You wake up before heading out for work. She does this! 😂

Hey guys I’m needing some advice so I just found out today that my 8 month old golden retriever tore hers acl today… in her back right leg. She’s acting fine and everything which is why it’s so crazy I just thought she was just having some joint popping or knee cap slips. But it wasn’t, so now the vet says we will do a follow up in 3 weeks to see if she needs surgery. Any tips on how to keep my 8 month field golden to stay calm and not jump on the bed or run crazy… this is gonna be so hard for her cause she’s so active and hyper. If you’ve went through this please give advice so I can help her not be so miserable during this.

I finally got my Leo a lamb chop and he ADORES it. I've seen many Goldens with one and I was like "okay, I'll try". both my Goldens love it; Leo especially. I guess I need to get another one for my other dog Goober so they both can have one.

This boy does not know how much joy he has bought to my life 😭

Hopper had a fight with the water hose. He gets so crinkly when he’s wet 😝

He’s also developed the trademark black spot on his tongue the last few weeks ✨

My girl turns 7 today and I'm on the other side of the country (just for a week but STILL).

Im out on workers comp so I get really bored. Did a photo sesh for mom while she was at work

Tennis ball plus ocean is Maggie’s ultimate duo.

I just had to bring the camera out and capture her 8 week self before she starts drastically growing.

She’s been so good with her crate, but we definitely need to work on the biting and launching herself at our faces!

This is SCOOBY and he makes face when he knows he is being spoiled.

I’m looking into getting a Golden Retriever puppy from Rosewood Goldens in Wisconsin and would love to hear from people who have firsthand experience with them!
I’ve come across some positive feedback about their dogs, and I’m interested in learning more about the health, temperament, and overall experience of people who have gotten puppies from them. I’m hoping to find a well-bred Golden with a great temperament who could eventually do obedience and possibly therapy work.
If you’ve gotten a puppy from Rosewood, met their dogs, or know someone who has, I’d really appreciate hearing how things went. I’m especially interested in the dogs’ long-term health, temperament as adults, and how they’ve done with training.
I’m still doing my research and would love to hear both positive experiences and anything you think prospective owners should know. Thanks!
