Golden Retriever
The Golden Retriever is athletic, well balanced, and symmetrical. They are slightly longer than high. Its appearance reflects its merry and outgoing temperament, and it never looks sulky or aggressive. This is a large breed very similar in appearance to the yellow Labrador Retriever, especially when young. The most obvious difference is the Golden Retriever's luxuriant coat.
Golden Retrievers reach their full height around one year of age and full weight around age two, though many owners comment that their dogs retain their puppyish nature for life. They are 56 - 61 cm (22-24 ins) at the withers for males, and 51 - 56 cm (20-22 ins) for females. They weigh 29 - 34 kg (65-75 lb) for males, and 27-32 kg (60-70 lb) for females.
