I assume mixing them helps reduce all the health problems goldens are susceptible to, too

[@nanyanghuayi]

Goldies are bred from Irish Setters, Water Spaniels and Labrador Retrievers.

[@bluepigeon2657]

@@Quandussy Not really. Labs and goldens share a lot of the same genetic health problems. Simply mixing a lab with health issues and a golden with health issues won’t produce a dog which is magically healthier than the parents. True health improvements only come from diligent and ethical health testing and breeding, or from when you have true mutts of numerous breeds (aka hybrid vigour) or with the cruel benefit of survival of the fittest, as is the case with villager dogs. Not crosses.

We ordered a set of nail clippers from your Amazon store last week (hopefully you got credit for it) and they are the best nail cutters we have ever used! Our blue heeler/border collie mix absolutely hates the groomer and the last time I was worried that he was going to be fired as a client (not aggressive, just really nervous and VERY vocal), so we are working on getting him better with tools around him and being more comfortable with being groomed. Your videos have helped so much! Thank you for all your hard work!

[@gracemarcucci3459]

dog groomer here, i can assure you he wouldn’t be fired for being nervous and vocal! we deal with that a lot. we only really fire dogs when it becomes too dangerous for either the dog or groomer, which only really happens if they’re aggressive or thrash violently and risk choking themselves on the grooming loop. that said, taking the extra steps to help your dog be more comfortable with the process is always a good idea and is very appreciated! best of luck to you and your pup ❤️

He does it on walks while my kids are too far ahead and I'm not going fast enough to catch up.

I see a lot of goldadors at my job but we don’t usually get ones with this much fur! They usually look like labs with a slightly different face shape and some feathering. He’s absolutely gorgeous.

[@vikingdogmanship]

If either mom or dad has all dominant genes, the puppy will take up their traits and resemblance. If one of the parents has all recessive genes, the likelihood of the puppy resembling either parent is 50/50

[@laurenwallace8204]

I think that is an oversimplification of this. There are multiple genes controlling coat colors in labs and I imagine there is for coat length as well. I’ve seen goldadors with long fur, short fur without feathering, and everything in between. The latter of your statements is only true if the opposite parent is heterozygous. The black color from the lab would be dominant in this case but I don’t have any idea how the coat length gene(s) work.

[@vikingdogmanship]

@@laurenwallace8204 The long coat is caused by a recessive genetic mutation in the FGF5 gene. Because it is a recessive mutation, a dog must have two copies of the recessive long-hair allele (l/l) to express that gene and cause the dog to have long hair.

[@kristinmoore4624]

We have one and also breed them. The longer coats are better achieved with an f1b breeding but aren't as uncommon as you think.

[@kristinmoore4624]

One of our girls carries for long coat so when bred back to a golden they're more likely to produce longer coats. Hopefully that makes sense. I just woke up lol

When we lived in Colorado people assumed that she was a Flat-coated Retriever because there were some in the area, also beautiful dogs. We were fortunate enough to have her with us for 15 happy, healthy years.

[@vikingdogmanship]

Beautiful dogs🥰 But i cant have longed hair dogs. I dont have time for all that

[@vikingdogmanship]

@@janareeves7482 Some breeds of dogs, such as Labradors, always have a short-haired coat. Other breeds of dogs, such as Poodles, always have long hair. Still other breeds can have either type of coat, such as the Dachshund. The long coat is caused by a recessive genetic mutation in the FGF5 gene. Because it is a recessive mutation, a dog must have two copies of the recessive long-hair allele (l/l) to express that gene and cause the dog to have long hair. A dog that has short hair could have one or two copies of the short-hair allele (LL or Ll) to have the short-hair phenotype. Thus, it is possible for two short-haired dogs (if they are both carriers of the long-haired allele) to have a litter of both long-haired and short-haired pups. This may be of a concern for breeds in which long-hair does not fit the breed standard.

Some questions for you, from a vet assistant interested in grooming on the side: 1. What are your minimum requirements for the pets that you groom? For example their vaccine/disease status, their socialization level, and ability to stand still? 2. For difficult dogs, how do you manage them all on your own? Like when they just won't stand still for anything? 3. When will you turn down a client? 4. What is the order that you prefer to do things in and what do you to prep them for the bath (eye lube, ear clean, cotton in ears)?

Get into dog grooming on tiktok lots of people willing to help if you comment on their videos

Good questions! I’d be interested too.

@@morganmonroee That's a whole different reason not to download that app. But that wasn't even my point. You completely ignored what my comment *actually* said. You have TikTok dontcha?

Oh wow! What a beauty, first of all I think many of us haven’t seen a black golden retriever till now! 😍💕 He was so good and calm through the whole grooming session! 🥺✨ Good job Ted! 😂❤️

[@katrinalizon5750]

I've only seen a black golden one time whilst driving through London ON. I swear it was the most beautiful dog I've ever seen!

[@buckodonnghaile4309]

Flat Coated Retrievers are the breed most often thought of as black golden retrievers. Maybe that's what you saw, there's a few in Ontario.

[@martinh1309]

@@buckodonnghaile4309 flatcoated retrievers are pretty far from looking like a golden though

[@katrinalizon5750]

Guys idk I just called it to what it looked the most like lol.

Oh my heart! When pups give you their paws to beg you to be done it melts me! ❤️

I love your voice and the written comments/thought of the dog XD And in this particular video, YOUR PANTS! I need one of those for myself! I have watched every single video you made since Hank "the weird golden" video, that made my laugh so much I like your energy and seeing all the beautiful creatures on this channel make my day! Thank you so much for sharing all this with us!

[@Bald_Zeus]

It's funny, who would've thought watching a pet groomer would be so entertaining? Yet I can't get enough of your videos

[@Riitmi]

Literally the most gorgeous dog I have ever seen. Didn't know they came that beautiful

[@crystalbraganza304]

Yup our dog!

So good to see your dedication with the pets. Lots of patience and knowledge. Congratulations. Teddy Bear is beautiful and sweet.

I think he had a problem with all of his hair sticking to his tongue, not particularly the blow dryer. He is amazing

[@DMMA0726]

I literally love all dogs but he may be the most beautiful dog I've ever seen. And also hardly any grey hairs, a very young middle aged boy!

[@jenifermorrell1918]

I am so impressed when I watch you trim those black nails. My one year old Lab is so afraid of getting his nails done. I was never going to be that dog mom with a dog that hated his nails trimmed, but here I am!

[@rockykanaka]

Wow love this! As always your vids rock ❤🐶

He's so adorable! He reminds me of the dog we had when I was a kid--he was half champion golden retriever and half sneaky neighbor dog.

[@antoniolatrippa6379]

Wonderful dog, wonderful coat, wonderful temperament.

[@lillyryner5889]

Oh, my heart! We lost our black golden about a year and a half ago, and he was just the sweetest boy. We got him when I was five and he was there for all of my big moments, wanting a pet on the head. ❤
