DOG FAQ - Do Golden Retrievers shed?

Yes they do! Golden Retrievers shed most all year round and there are least two times a year that it is a lot. You can expect dog hair everywhere if you own a Golden Retriever. They need to be brushed daily and regular use of an undercoat rake will significantly improve the shedding. Daily brushing also keeps them from matting. If you do not like dog hair in your house a Golden Retriever is probably not the dog for you.
