Welcome to the Pack...our newest member - Oakley! She is a 1+ year old Golden Retriever who began her Advanced Obedience training this past week with us. Her owners reached out to us as she was having some increasing excitement issues: lunging at cars on walks, pulling on leash on walks, jumping up when guests would come over, and wanted to improve her overall obedience.
Red Golden Retrievers are a color variation within the Golden Retriever breed, characterized by a deep, rich red coat. They are not a separate breed, but rather a specific shade of Golden Retriever, with the red color being the result of a recessive gene - meaning both parents need to carry the gene for a puppy to exhibit the red coat. Red Golden Retrievers share the breed's typical temperament, known for being friendly, affectionate, and eager to please. Red Golden Retrievers are often associated with higher energy levels, especially those bred for field work, but this can vary.
The history of the Red Golden Retriever can be traced back to the origins of the Golden Retriever breed in the mid-19th century. The breed was developed by Lord Tweedmouth in Scotland, who wanted to create a skilled hunting dog that was also a good family companion. He crossed a yellow Wavy-Coated Retriever with a Tweed Water Spaniel, which resulted in the first Golden Retrievers. Over time, selective breeding led to the development of the Red Golden Retriever, a variation with a darker coat color.
Welcome to the Always Faithful Dog Training of Omaha family, Oakley! We look forward to helping your owners become calm, confident pack leaders so you can become the calm, confident pack member they desire.
