Average life span for golden retrievers is 10 to 12 so I'd say 8 is on the older side, especially since his owner (me) let's him eat to many table scraps and i don't exercise him enough in the hot summers. From what I've read, the best bet is to get glucosamine pills for the dog. Rimadyl does...

haha yes I have allowed him to be overweight. To many table scraps. However he is 8 and is looking pretty old. I do agree with you that I still have enough time to get him where I want him to be. We do 2 cups a day of large breed senior blue Buffalo. It has some glucosamine in it but I may get...

I appreciate all the responses. I will certainly use them and first and foremost get my vets opinion on what I'll be putting in my dogs body.

I've had some allergy issues in the summer. Not too much with hot spots though. I'm interested in the cbd oil as I've heard that helps for skin problems.

I havent weighed him recently but he was around 88 lbs before and should be closer to 70. I'm not expecting him to be back in his prime and I won't over hunt him at all, but we'll be going a couple days in a row and I don't want him to just be dead after a half day.

I have an 8 year old overweight Golden retriever who is a house pet at least 350 plus days a year. I'm planning to get out more this year. I already have some hunts planned and I'd like to get him in shape for the season. I'm looking for suggestions. Right now my plan is to try and do lots of...

I know this is a little bit of internet scouting but updland guys don't seem to be as picky about their spots as deer or duck guys. I'm hoping to go up to Bob brown for a weekend. The plan is to try and draw in for duck and then afternoon upland hunt or morning if we don't draw in. Is Bob brown...

So went out on the quail opener here in Missouri. Had a friend come up with Arkansas with his 1 year old female GSP. I had my 3 year old male Golden Retriever. My dog still likes to play like a puppy so he loved the 1 year old. They played at the house. However at one point they kind of got into...

With this cold I found a dead snake in the front yard. I was wondering if this would work at all for snake training with my dog to keep it from snakes. I don't know if it will give off a scent at all. He tried going by it and I called him off and nicked him but was wondering if there would be...

I'm looking to take a trip up to St Joseph and north of there. Looking to hit some of those conservation areas. Are there any cheap motels/hotels that are dog friendly. I haven't narrowed my search down to specific yet but most likely 30 to 45 min north of St Joseph, depends on which areas I...

My 7 month old retriever is coming along nicely and I'm planning on mainly hunting upland game with him. However certain things he gets very possessive with, and of course he loves birds so that is one thing he doesn't want to give up. He'll go pick up the bird and usually comes back to me with...

I just got my new golden retriever puppy last week. I'm excited and already doing a little obedience training with him and of course potty training him. The problem is that some days my wife and I both work and cant be home for 8 hours. We leave him in an area where he has a bathroom and some...

I'm in the south central missouri area looking for a golden retriever male pup. Just wondering of any good breeders. I'm willing to travel to any of the states surrounding and even up to wisconsin or minnesota since I have family up there. Thanks.

My dad's Brittany is about a year old and is coming along nicely as a bird dog. However the dog runs himself to death when in the field. He doesn't know how to pace himself and usually looks like he is about to pass out after a couple of hours. What are some tips on teaching him how to pace...

My wife and I are planning on getting a Golden Retriever in the near future. We are mainly just looking for a pet, but I do not have a hunting dog and would love to try to train our family pet to hunt birds if possible. I'm hoping not to spend too much and will not be hurt if the dog turns out...

I just moved to south central Missouri and I'm planning on coming over to Kansas for a couple weekends to do some bird hunting. I'm hoping to bring my dad and his 1 year old Brittany. Anyways I was hoping for some tips because I don't want to drive too far only for a weekend hunt. We'd be coming...

Hi everyone, I'm Ben and just moved to south central Missouri. Just started getting into upland birds the last couple years. Hoping to get over to Kansas this year and do some quail and pheasant hunting.
