Extremely popular as a family pet, the Golden Retrievers affectionate and loving personality with people, their eagerness to please their owners and their ability to endure whatever a child will do to them are undoubtedly most of the reasons why. At about the age of 1, these dogs will be pretty much full grown which means on average a height of about 24 inches to the shoulder and tipping the scales at 60-80 pounds. Considered a 'large' breed that is considerably more active than some of the other larger and extra large dogs that exhibit less energy.
These dogs thrive on being outside able to run and move around. They do well as hunting dogs and their intelligence and keen ability to learn skills have made them into successful guide and assist dogs for years. Chasing a stick, a ball (that's the 'retriever in them) or just being around their family is their happy place. They are very sociable and get alone with just about everyone and other pets as well. When they are outside exerting themselves on a hot day it's nice that you provide them a place for a 'time out' when they get hot. An insulated large dog house where they can find food and water where they can be protected from the sun or rain would be a welcome break for them.
These houses offer shade and cooler air in the summer and protection from wind and cold air in the winter. Climate controlled if desired for optimal comfort for your beloved pet. They give you love and gratification and all they need in return is food, water, some exercise and a little loving. So simple and easy to achieve my giving them physical comfort with a large insulated dog house.
