Golden Retriever Zone is edited by Sarah Whitmore, who writes for families who want to give their golden a long and healthy life. Cancer risk, shedding, training, heat safety and the first year with a puppy are the questions that come up most.
Sarah is not a veterinarian. Health statistics on this site come from published research such as long-term breed studies and veterinary references, and each source is linked where it is used. The guides say plainly when a question needs a vet.
Goldens give a lot. The least we can do is get the facts right. Corrections are always welcome.
