Allie

Allie loves Golden Retrievers. They have always been her favourite breed, and she started The Happy Golden to answer the questions people ask about them, written plainly and without the guesswork.

How the guides are written

Every guide starts from a question Golden Retriever owners actually ask, and answers it in the first line before getting into the detail. There are 53 of them, and each one is written by someone who loves the breed and wants the answer to be clear, not assembled from other websites.

What this site is not

The Happy Golden is written by a Golden Retriever lover, not a vet. The guides say plainly when something is a job for a professional, and if your dog seems unwell, a vet is always the right call, not a website, this one included.

Corrections

If something here is wrong or out of date, it gets fixed. A way to send questions and corrections directly is on its way; each guide shows the date it was last touched.
