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.
A Golden Retriever is a Golden Retriever and should meet the breed standard. The only impact coat color should have on that is to be sure the color is not outside of breed standard either. If someone is trying to charge higher prices or call them rare they are only motivated by money.
