Ben – 7 year old male Golden Retriever
Ben is a beautiful 7 years old pedigree Golden Retriever who is big and boisterous and needs a lot of exercise and training. Ben has a lovely kind, confident and affectionate nature and is a happy dog who just needs a lot of company and attention otherwise he suffers from Separation Anxiety. To help him overcome this he will need someone around most of the time and another friendly dog to play with would be very good for him. Golden Retrievers are gundogs and so have a very intelligent mind that needs stimulation so Ben would enjoy going to obedience and agility classes.
As he is such a soft dog he would eventually make a really good Pets as Therapy Dog to help people in hospital. Ben is currently rather too boisterous for a family of young children so older active teenagers would be a better prospect for him. Owners should consider he has a long thick coat that will need constant grooming and to be kept clean, he will shed fur and come back from walks very muddy and wet in bad weather. Also Golden Retrievers love water so any chance to get wet and muddy and they take it and like nothing better than to go for a swim so enjoy seaside visits. Ben is very sociable and good with other dogs.
