Golden Retrievers are High Maintenance-Do They Require a Lot of Care?

Golden Retrievers are prone to getting fat. This is one of the most common myths about this breed. While it is true that Golden Retrievers can gain weight if they are overfed and not exercised enough, their active nature and love of exercise makes them less likely to become overweight than many other breeds. Furthermore, their coats are designed to help them regulate body temperature and this can help them maintain a healthy weight.
