Raising a Golden is for people who share their home with a golden retriever, or are about to.
Meet Duke
Duke is our red golden retriever, and he’s the dog in our photos. A lot of what you read here started as a question we had about him.
We’re golden owners, with one red golden at home. We write the guides we wanted when we were figuring things out: what to buy, how to set up the first weeks, and how to care for a golden as they grow.
How we work
- Every guide lists its sources at the bottom, from places like the AKC, the Golden Retriever Club of America and veterinary schools.
- We say plainly which picks come from research and which gear we use with our own dog. See How We Test.
- We earn commissions from some links. See our affiliate disclosure.
