Male vs. Female Golden Retriever: 10 Differences Between Them

👋 Hi. I am looking for the link to the field golden vs show golden info you said in this video (near the end) that you would “provide below” .. but I don’t see it anywhere. Can u please help?

[@beverlyjohnson3025]

We adopted our Macy just after her 7th birthday. Her former owners kept her outside with a dog house. Her teeth were ground down from chewing on rocks. My husband was disabled and she snuggled with him. I'm the one who feeds her and she's a hugger. My husband passed away a month ago and she looks for him when she gets up from a nap and spends a lot of time glued to my leg. She's a love bug. Goldens are the best.

[@goldenhearts8822]

I'm so sorry to hear about your husband. I hope Macy is taking good care of you

[@siobhangreaney191]

Sorry to hear about your h

[@siobhangreaney191]

Husband it’s good to have a dog it’s company the dog will be your forever friend

[@katemckenna8028]

I'm sorry about your husband. But it is extraordinary that we adopted our Macy when she was 7 years old. Her teeth were also ground down from eating rocks. She was raised on a farm. She seemed to love my husband & myself equally. We've had 3 Goldens & she was my favorite. It broke my heart when she passed from cancer at 13, 2 years ago. 🐾♥️😪

Golden Retreiver's are definitely the best dogs! We've had two of them so far and they are so sweet and loving

[@goldenhearts8822]

Yes!!

[@Jazzyse4rth]

True but that’s your option sorry if. sound rude

[@AnneMB955]

Totally agree. 🥰

[@AndyJarman]

But ... the hair! It's everywhere! And they are pathetic guard dogs, our postman would pet our two, bloody pathetic. And what's with essence of salami/cheese that follows them everywhere? And sitting on your feet and leaning on you all the time? Black Labs rule.

[@sophieoconnor7753]

I just got my first golden retriever the day before yesterday she is already my best friend 💗

[@itaintobeezy]

I used to sell puppies and if I was to get one for myself I would spend a few hours with the litter before buying one. You can really see their distinct personalities which one is more quiet and shy, which one is playful and nips at you lol

[@deborahsanders8564]

My Golden, Riley, is definitely bonded to me 95% - my husband gets 5%. Riley is our 4th Golden, and our first 3 split their love for my husband and me evenly. But when we picked up Riley at 7 weeks old, he rode in the backseat on my lap with his head against my heart and went sound asleep. I feel strongly that he bonded so strongly with me, hearing my heart beat (like his mom’s) the long ride from Alabama to Georgia. I don’t know if we’ll get another Golden - my husband and I are elderly now and I don’t know if we can do all that is necessary to keep a Golden happy and healthy. But, I can’t imagine not having a Golden in my life!

[@melbymelb23]

That’s a very sweet story 🥰 My daughters are begging us for a Golden Retriever. We had a GSD who passed when the girls were very little. She was the best dog in the world. I’d love to get a Golden but I have health problems and don’t know if I have what it’ll require to keep the pup active. As much as my girls want one, I know the responsibility will fall on me.

[@Honeybadger_525]

My family has had 4 goldens over the years (3 females and 1 male) and currently a golden mix. I would agree with most of the statements in this video. The females we had were definitely more independent and maternal than our male golden. In contrast, our male was generally more playful but had a much stronger prey drive than our females. He was also definitely the smartest but most stubborn of our goldens, especially as he got older (too smart for his own good sometimes, lol). Our old boy passed away almost exactly a year ago at the ripe old age of 14 and this video made me think of him. RIP Shadow

[@goldenhearts8822]

I'm sorry to hear about Shadow 😢 and thank you for sharing your experiences!

[@kengall4580]

I adopted a retired goldie guide dog 4 years ago. He was an amazing dog, so sociable with other dogs and animals and humans too. He died in August at 14 years of age due to old age and other age related ailments. They surely are wonderful dogs and companions and I miss him so much. RIP Josh and Shadow.

[@judypeters2242]

We initially went to the breeder for a male as we had one before and he was a wonderful pet. When we called we were told there was a male and a female left but the female was spoken for. When we arrived we were told the lady passed on the female because she didn't like her light color???of course seeing the 2 together, cuddled we came home with both! What an absolute blessing! So attached to each other, playmates, trouble makers, inseparable! Goldens are the BEST, especially when they come in pairs!

[@wendyclarke751]

I'm in my mid 80's, and have just lost my best friend Leo, he was 1 week from his 15th Birthday. for the last 35 years I have had 1 or 2 Goldens always, at present I have none as I am trying to get an older 5* Golden, but they are very hard to find. I will keep looking until I find one. They are Beautiful friends

[@Angela-dx6cs]

I wish you the greatest luck and hope you find your new adult baby soon. I have a 78 year old friend whose dog ( not golden) died one year ago. She looked for one year for an adult or even half grown golden. After a year she gave up on an older dog and got a golden puppy. However, he is rough and bites (playing but still hurts her). He is 10 weeks now and I am temporarily keeping him so that she can heal from the bites. He is precious, beautiful and seems smart but I am sad he is to rough for her. So I hope you can find that perfect grown fur baby sooner rather than later.

[@4merroad4man25]

My Golden, Toby, is definitely a Mama’s boy. We had a female also and she was more of a Daddy’s girl. Our Goldens have brought us so much joy! Our Taffy girl passed several years ago and now we are in a cancer battle with Toby. We’ve rescued many dogs throughout our lives, but I had always dreamed of having a Golden Retriever, so we began our lives with Goldens and are so thrilled we have, best dogs ever❤️❤️❤️

[@lackr0073]

We have had multiple dog breeds (Dachshunds, Labs, and Coonhounds) in the past. 1.5 years ago we got Lucy our first GR.... By far the smartest dog we have ever owned. Like others have mentioned GR like being the center of attention, when me and my wife kiss or hug there she is in the middle breaking us up. When my sons girlfriends are over we find that Lucy makes for a great "Kissy Police". My only 2 cons so far is the Furpocalypse every 6 months, and she gets super excited around new people and will jump on them (But she is getting better with age and training). Best dog I have ever owned, I think I'm sold on GR from this point forward.

[@bryanb.386]

I have a female who's still a puppy (1 1/2 years old). She is very goofy and fun loving. She can be veeery stubborn, particular and aggressive...aggressively friendly. She is a handful, but I find her to be great.

[@jeanenegio1002]

I have a female golden. Love her!! She’s so loving and beautiful!

[@lauratobin9876]

My two 11 month old pups are DEFINITELY “momma’s boys”! They are littermates & best pals, and the first puppies I’ve had since my first two goldens ( also littermates) Toby & Tara in 1985. In the years between 1985 & now, I have owned 8 goldens ( or golden mixes, 4 rescues & 4 from 8 wk old babies. I’ve also distorted for Golden rescue & had a rescued King Shepherd.

[@EllenD-ix3bj]

I have 2 English Cream Goldens.They are brothers, 2 years and 11 months apart. Same parents. They are both very different, but it could be the difference between the puppy energy and the adult. They are both very sweet and loving. They Love their family! (I still consider them both puppies ) can’t imagine life without them!! ❤️

[@winebottle520]

Thank you for your comment. It’s so lovely. ❤

[@bgumbleton]

We have a Female Golden Retriever that we rescued from Istanbul Turkey. She's the sweetest the dog ever!

[@kodigoldenboy]

Good video! Most of these differences occur in all dog breeds. In all dog breeds I've had (and there are tons) the males had broader heads than the females. Females bonded better with the males in the house and the males bonded more with the females. I've also noticed more shredding behavior in the females - like ripping up toilet paper or trash. It's like they get this uncontrollable desire to build a nest. Lastly, the boys are calmer while the girls can be a bit more nervous and high strung. I love my boys the best!

[@rachelpenny5165]

We currently have 5 golden retrievers, but we have had them for over 30 years. We have found that the males we have usually only eat to live. They often left something if they were not hungry. The females (except the youngest (7 months) as she takes after her dad) will eat everything. Barney ate everything after he got neutered because of a tumour due to testosterone. One of our females only got spayed as she had mammary gland cancer. But they are spoilt rotten, but not to their detriment. They know if I had a bad day, I have multiple sclerosis, and they will not leave me alone and let me grab them if I lose my balance.

[@bobbiecapobianco5114]

We had 2 Goldens from the same litter, 1 male and 1 female. They were wonderful dogs. They played tag with each other, cuddled together even as they aged. They are best buddies. Our male, Tanner, was the guard dog in the yard, he would be watching and bark. Rosie, the female, would stay back in the yard and let Tanner do the work! Rosie was the hunter, Tanner loved to play fetch or tug and soccer. Tanner was a mama’s boy and Rosie was more independent. They loved going on hikes and the beach ( always a sandy mess!). They were very much as you describe in the video. Unfortunately Tanner died when he was 8, from leptospirosis, a strain that is not protected by the vaccine. Rosie died this spring, she had Anaplastic histiocytic sarcoma , she was almost 11. I have had 4 types of other dogs in the past, loved all of them, but Tanner and Rosie were the best. I miss them every day.

[@Don-md6wn]

On the spay/neuter issue for goldens, I'd suggest people who have a golden puppy or are considering one to read a study on the spay/neuter health impact on goldens and many other breeds from the University of California Davis. You can find it online. Cancer is the primary cause of death for goldens, and the Cal-Davis long term study shows a significant boost in the rate of cancer in female goldens who have been spayed at any age. The implication of the data in the study is that if you can deal with heat cycles, including keeping her away from intact males, it's best for her long term health not to spay her. There were several hundred female goldens in their lifetime study and the data was conclusive - the rate of cancer was about 4X higher in females spayed at any age, almost 20% versus less than 5% for those who were never spayed. There was not a big difference in cancer rates for male goldens who were neutered at around 2 years old versus never neutered. My female golden retriever of 15 months is my fourth. After discussing this study with her breeder, we agreed that I wouldn't have her spayed even though she has a limited registration. I've had 3 goldens prior to my current one and all died of cancer. I had 2 previous female goldens, both spayed at around 10 months old before their first heat cycles. They died at 10 and 11 of lymphoma and hemangiosarcoma (the most common cancer in goldens). I had a male golden, not neutered, who died at 10 of hemangiosarcoma. All 3 of them were very active and otherwise healthy right up until cancer took them and could have had many more good years if not for cancer.

[@marilialevacov2939]

I had (and have) several goldens and I think females are smarter. I love both but i think females are more alert as well. Best of all, females usually just pee once (a long long pee) every time we go out for a walk and they are not choosy regarding the place to pee. Males, generally pee endless times, dripping and saving urine to mark selected places, as many and for as far as possible 😂

[@katefoyder506]

My folks just got a new male Golden Retriever puppy. Before him they had a female and Before her, a male. We are finding that a big key difference in gender is how they play. The female did not like rough housing or tug of war games. She always let go of whatever she retrieved. The boys have been more bullheaded.

[@TotallyNotHayley]

I ended up getting a girl and I love her! Currently 20 weeks old

[@Roonasaur]

You can count on one hand how many times my female golden barks every year. Well, except that one time we went out a little earlier than usual and found a turtle in the middle of the field. She chased right up to it and Oh, My, God! She barked 27 times that day in about 15 minutes, lol. I counted. :)

[@goldenhearts8822]

Haha gotta watch out for those turtles! They'll getcha barking

[@KaraStanziani-ym8pf]

[@bonniegordon9108]

My Male golden...literally saved my life from an attack in my driveway!!!

[@Christian_Bagger]

Usually the females are the dominant ones, as the male rather want to smell the flowers… and pee on them! My guy didn’t get that memo, so he’s certainly an alpha, but because he’s a Golden, he just want everyone to play nicely. Females tend to be more princess like. They love being social, but they tend to lay strategically to have an overview of everything, while male Goldens usually want to be as close to you as possible. If you leave the room, you bet they’re following your tail in every room. They usually have a huge ego and wants to be the center of attention all of the time. If you’re standing in a circle with people, they will gravitate towards the center. Field Goldens are higher maintains than regular Goldens ofc. Goldens are really versatile, really adaptable, and because of their retrieving background, they usually have an off and on switch regarding energy. Ofc. it helps if you motivate that on and off switch through training, but it’s fantastic, once it’s nailed and it comes literally natural to them.

[@goldenhearts8822]

Thanks Christian!

[@gordonakers8247]

We rescue Goldens. Our first three were females, one mixed a male. Our last, is Sawyer, rescued at 1-1/2 year. He will be 8 next August. He has even the one closest to his mama. Our third. golden was a female, approx 9 years old. We fell in love her so much because she was so neglected, bred too much, even had been sewn up with wire sutures! They were working their way out of her belly for the first six months we had her. She was by far the most grateful for our love. 💖🐾🥰🇺🇸❤️

[@haywoodjablome7822]

I've owned 5 goldens in my life. 1 girl and 4 boys. The girl was very possessive of me and tried to be dominant with any lady I brought to the house or when were out for a walk. She would always listen when I told her to knock it off and be nice. All the boys have been goofy and a bit more independent from me, but depended much more on their own little pack.

[@George-fb7fj]

We've had 2 Goldens. Both of them have been males. Both bonded more with Dad. I think that depends on how much time one spends with them when they are young. This breed sheds like crazy, so if you don't like dog fur on your clothes it's not the breed for you.

[@goldenhearts8822]

Thanks for sharing George!

[@TheParanormalNita]

yes it definitely has a lot to do who is taking care of the puppy the most and who trains them. Im currently almost nonstop with my golden girl and she really likes my fiance and greets him but she definitely listens to me more and when i go somewhere without her and come back the difference in greeting is really big even tho im away for 30-60 minutes and my fiance is out for 12+ hours because of work also she is 10 weeks today, got her 2 weeks ago

I grew up with a golden/black lab mix named Maggie. She was solid black with hair like a golden. She had the sweetest face 😍 😢 Maggie was so special. Very loving to me- I took naps with my head on her stomach and she'd sleep too! She also taught me how to doggy paddle in the creek near my old house when I was little. We shared snacks 😂 We had another, younger female dog that Maggie was dominant over but she was still very attached to us. Anytime any of us was outside she was there and if we were sitting she had to have a paw on our knee and smiling at us for a head scratch. My dad taught her to get the newspaper from the end of our driveway every morning. She was a super duper good girl! ❤ A real life version of Nana the dog from Peter Pan. Maggie lived to 14. We were all broken hearted when she passed, but she died peacefully in her sleep.

[@Rhizomorphius-vz4bj]

We recently acquired Buddy from my ex-wife. He's 1 year old, and he is a daddy's boy no doubt about it. He's a long legged goofy cuddly klutz and I just love him to pieces. He has such a friendly face and he expresses himself a lot with his eyes. His body language and facial expressions are really easy to read. He's a very smart boy and he's easy to teach, eager to learn, and craves approval. And, he shares pully toys very well with with our bully, his girlfriend, Echo. I take them both down bottom every evening before dusk to let them run and romp. He's got quite a stride on him. On day one he learned that we have a river in the back yard and oh my goodness he loves it. Poor Echo, bless her heart, she swims like a bowling ball, so she gets left on the bank until Buddy decides he wants to chase her around in big circles at full speed. He's a hoot. I'm 64 years old and now I wish I had gotten a Goldie when I was a much younger man, back when I had the energy to keep up with him.

[@АнастасАнастасов-е6т]

The theory about mama's boy and daddy's girl is absolutely true! We have a retriever, a pretty big light colour girl, and the person who she loves the most is my father, despite him being the strictest with her and always enforcing discipline. She is more than true to him and is the person who she listens to the most when told something, or as he says," these two hands are the ones who are the strictest and pet the sweetest!".😂

Also, my “show boys” also compete and place in obedience, agility, and field work. Overall, another good recap. As you mentioned a couple times, these are generalities, not rules.

My male Golden is 2 years old, a beatiful loving dog , he is never left alone and spends all day with me , here is my experience - He won't cuddle with me , but loves to cuddle with my 10 year old daughter - He is very found of people his knows , but , extremley wary of strangers - He hates people stoking his head , apart from people he knows - He's not one for sleeping on the bed, mostly preffers to sleep down stairs, sometimes I wake up and he is on the bed , but at the foot of the bed - Tends to love dogs more than he loves people, never seen him aggresive toward other dogs , but also wants to play with any dogs he comes across - I swim him every day down the river - he always carriers a large stick / log home with him = firewood for me lol - I think if i had a burgalar he would deffinately attack He is a total joy to be part of the family

[@donnakoga4543]

We used to breed Goldens, and this is spot on. But, we now have Newfs ( have had for almost 20 yrs), and find the same things. Girls are smarter, mature faster, are more independent, and more "protective". Boys are goofier, and more cuddly and of course larger and more difficult to handle during teen years. The girls have been daddy's girls and the boy's momma's boys...mostly. Some have been equally bonded. Goldens are very active dogs, for life, but that also depends on their breeding. Field lines are more athletic and active than show lines. Newfs, properly bred, are sweet, and are known for that disposition - in fact it's the first line of their breed standard. Goldens are friendly, reliable and trustworthy (when trained properly). That doesn't mean "sweet". There is a difference. They're very smart and easily trained. But ALL DOGS do need training on a daily basis for several years. I love both breeds...and they're great together! 🙂

[@mickthegolden4706]

My 1 1/2 year old male golden is big, goofy, and definitely a momma's boy. Oddly enough, Momma didn't want him and resisted having much to do with him a first. Now they're inseparable and I "catch" them snuggling regularly. Essentially, my wife has stolen my dog. LOL

Question for other Golden Retriever Paw-Rents 🐾: Is it common for golden retrievers’ nails to frequently tear through your bed sheets if they’re allowed to sleep or snuggle in bed? I’ve never had nice sheets just tear up with holes in the middle until golden boy got in the bed.

[@jwhowuntit9359]

I have 2 girls a light brown and a English Cream. My white one is calm and sniffs everything and was easy to potty train and it was pretty easy and she does not mark AT ALL. My brown girl is more energetic wants more love and bugs the heck out of her sister and was harder potty training her. Both are very protective as they follow my kids around everywhere and they go.

[@deplorablegal4078]

These pups are the only breed we get. I believe they are the best dogs in the world!

My golden is a boy. We live in a single household. He (Rig) treats me like the pack leader. He always barks at strangers. But he is a mommas boy. Any time a female human gives him attention I'm like chopped liver.

[@michaelrivera6989]

My golden is definitely a daddy’s girl and I love being her daddy!

[@rym6829]

I enjoyed the gender are different haters disclaimer.

[@disappointedenglishman98]

What is the relevance of the word "gender" to Golden Retrievers?

[@thomasmcginnis7526]

My female golden is not independent. Shes definitely a daddys girl. When home, i cannot alone. She follows me around like a shadow.

I'm not in the market to buy or dog, but I watched anyway. Because of the fuzziness.

[@agnesmeszaros-matwiejuk8783]

My male golden is rather daddy‘s boy.

[@goldenhearts8822]

[@KRAFTBAY]

Both my boys are smarter & matured sooner than both my girls.. I'm their favourite! ❤️

As daddy to three gens of goldens, including at-home litter, I can concur. The two smartest in the littler of 8, by far, were girls. Another difference is that males tend to chew hands and feet (and hence shoes!) whereas females will go straight to face-licking. Finally, think twice about neutering, the #1 golden killer is hemangiosarcoma, and the incidence climbs 10-fold in neutered males.

White retriever’s are not proper golden retrievers. They have been inbred as a response to the kennel club’s idiotic views on what is the ideal dog. Golden retrievers are wonderful dogs but don’t kid yourselves that the kennel club have improved the breed. The original golden retriever was bred in Inverness in Scotland and was a golden colour. They were energetic dogs that could run all day. The poor whites I now see plod along and still many suffer from hip displasia, another result of inbreeding despite hip scoring efforts. The field golden retriever is much closer to the original dog. The white or show golden retriever is the result of a badly advised breeding regime. The kennel club has ruined many breeds of dog and unfortunately the golden retriever has suffered as a result of that organisation’s policies.
