The enemy is chronic inflammation: a process at the core of the bodyâs most basic survival instincts that is now believed to be at the heart of a handful of deadly diseases. Whatâs even worse â your body may already be under fire from inflammation caused by stress, poor diet and a couch-potato lifestyle. Inflammation can operate in stealth mode for years. When symptoms do finally become apparent, itâs usually in the form of diabetes, osteoarthritis or other inflammation-related diseases.
Around 3 months of age, you will notice some long hair growing in your puppy's tail. This is the beginning of his feathering. Goldens have feathers on their legs, under their stomachs, and on the tail. The adult coat begins growing on the dog's tail first and continues gradually up his body.
People automatically assume goldens are the perfect dog for a family with children. Golden puppies quickly grow up to be rambunctious, strong bundles of energy that easily can play too rough with young children, especially when they are 6 months to two years of age.
