the golden retriever pat dog documentary English
gende which has turned out to be pure
imagination it descended from a group of
Russian circus dogs that came to England
at the beginning of the 19th century
however we learned the true story
confirmed by accurate genealogical
documents in 1952 from the great
grandchild of its creator Lord
tweedmouth in 1865 he purchased a yellow
Retriever puppy called new from the
Greek wisdom the only one of this color
in a black litter the parents were
probably ancestors of the current
flat-coated retriever two years later a
cousin of Lord tweedmouth gave him a
liver colored tweed water spaniel called
Bell Tweed Water Spaniels where dogs
known for their intelligence courage
resilience and retrieving skills used
along the banks of the River Tweed and
the coasts of Great Britain Lord
tweedmouth was a great sportsman and
hunter and immediately thought of
breeding a dog able to retrieve game
easily on difficult ground or from
rivers where other dogs had difficulty
moreover he was a keen breeder and
decided to select the strain of yellow
retrievers suitable for this purpose in
1868 he successfully mated new and Belle
and for yellow puppies suited to this
purpose were born ADA crocus Primrose
and cowslip
over the next 20 years he methodically
crossed these dogs using the line
breeding method selective inbreeding to
obtain favorable characteristics of a
common ancestor and when necessary out
crossing to introduce new strains taking
care to then return to the original
strain he entrusted many dogs to friends
who in turn created personal strains
until towards the end of the 19th
century the yellow retriever became
popular in Britain travellers and
hunters were already exporting these
dogs to the United States and Canada at
the beginning of 1890 using them as
working dogs the first American golden
retriever with an official pedigree
dates back to November in 1925

as is always the case when a breed of
dog becomes extremely popular together
with keen breeders who truly love this
marvelous dog there are others who have
started to breed golden retrievers only
for money but who do not have the
technical know-how and right
capabilities to breed typical examples
with the right nature and which are
healthy therefore it is always advisable
to contact the most well-known breeders
and ask the opinion of experts in this
breed the golden retriever is a sturdy
dog with a water-resistant coat which
protects it from bad weather and even
from diving into freezing water
although not prone to particular
illnesses some problems which require
attention are beginning to crop up in
breeding the breed has heavy bones and
its structure carries a considerable
weight as is often the case in these
situations a certain amount of dysplasia
is beginning to occur especially of the
hip which at times may make it
impossible to use the dog for work in
sporting or rescue activities this is a
malformation of the acetabulum of the
hip bone which being wider than normal
does not hold the head of the femur
correctly and in more serious cases this
tends to become dislocated dysplasia can
be congenital inherited from ancestors
and this can be transmitted to offspring
however dysplasia can also be caused by
bad habits
for example owing to the weight of the
dog while it is a puppy and still young
up to about one year old it is advisable
not to force it to walk too far or for
too long for obvious reasons when the
dog is young its bones are developing
slowly and the calcification process is
only complete on reaching adulthood if
the parts subject to friction are
overworked during the calcification
phase they may easily wear out more
rapidly causing various problems
including dislocating hips in any case
it is always better to check whether
dogs to be used for breeding purposes
have dysplasia as it can be passed on
[Music]
there are also other problems which
although less frequent at present it is
better to know about at times the bite
is not up to standard which only allows
scissor bite that is with the upper
incisors closely overlapping the lower
teeth and sets Square to the jaws
there are also occasional cases of
cataracts especially in older dogs
however all in all the Golden Retriever
is a sturdy and considerably healthy dog
which usually lives to a ripe old age
[Music]
in the first place the golden retriever
is an excellent hunting dog specialized
in retrieving game where it shows
exceptional qualities
it’s beautiful dense coat protects it in
all weathers and being totally water
resistant allows it to swim in freezing
waters without any consequences with its
well balanced and good nature it can
work together with other dogs without
problems moreover it is extremely
obedient and intelligent which allows it
to learn how to work quickly also in
view of its instinct the retriever is
extremely attentive in its work it waits
patiently always alert by its master’s
side for the command to act without
becoming nervous or impatient once it
receives the go-ahead it’s extremely
sensitive sense of smell allows it to
hunt for the game that has been shot
down it works combining its great memory
with which it memorizes and remembers
the direction distance and trajectory of
the Fallen game with its sense of smell
which it uses to follow the trail it
works crossing the land with accuracy
and self-assurance and it is this
meticulous way of working that has given
it the reputation of being one of the
best retrieving dogs of all time this is
work which requires intelligence speed
resilience memory strength and passion
all qualities which the golden retriever
has in profusion
[Music]
has already mentioned although bred for
hunting this dog owes its success to the
popularity it has gained outside the
hunting circle there is no doubt that
this is an extremely beautiful dog
powerful and majestic with movements
which are elegant flowing and agile
while at the same time bold with great
energy and strength its appearance is
noble and proud almost haughty and the
impression it transmits is of great
sturdiness always flowing and with
considerable gracefulness his coat is
flat or wavy with attractive feathering
and the dense water-resistant undercoat
Hardy to all weathers its color ranges
from gold to cream and is extremely
beautiful its captivating appearance is
why so many people want a golden
retriever simply as an agreeable and
trusty companion which has caused it to
become extremely successful in a very
short time however Beauty alone is not
enough to justify this vast popularity
to become sufficiently important to grow
to be a symbol of social elegance other
qualities are required those that make
the difference between a beautiful dog
and a unique and outstanding one
[Music]
[Music]
the breed owes its success to its
character and moral qualities sometimes
it is said that a dog lacks the power of
speech this expression does not concern
the golden retriever as it does not need
to speak the surprising intelligence of
these dogs allows them to express
themselves perfectly with the means at
their disposal just one look into those
kindly expressive intelligent and deep
eyes and anyone would understand what
they’re trying to say a gesture a slight
whine an eloquent bark are the means
they use to emphasize the message their
great sensitivity is another of their
qualities the golden retriever is a
faithful friend able to sense the mood
of those around it and behave
accordingly
[Music]
this is why it is never over intrusive
and always respects the needs of the
members of its family it is playful and
happy and loves water more than any
other dog except its close relatives the
Newfoundland and Labrador as with its
trusting and joyful nature it has no
fear of this element due to its
steadfastness kindness sensitivity
intelligence sense of smell and
extraordinary instinct many Civil
Protection service teams have chosen to
use the golden retriever for rescue work
during natural disasters here too the
dogs must first be put through a
training program before they can
commence work their appearance and
reassuring and kindly nature has proved
to be particularly helpful when rescuing
children involved in natural disasters
as it transmits trust and calmness to
them in anglo-saxon countries they are
also used with excellent results as
guide dogs for the blind where their
qualities of a facility sense of
responsibility and balance stand out
[Music]
thanks to their extraordinary memory
they have proved to be extremely good at
agility and obedience trials this same
memory in their original work of
retrieving game during hunting allows
them to identify and persistently
memorize the spot in which the shot game
fell and allows them to remember the
exercises in sporting activities which
thanks to their extremely lively
intelligence they learn very quickly
one extremely fine quality of golden
retrievers is that they love to work
together with their master being able to
do so makes them happy and allows them
to express the best of their
capabilities this desire to work not
only to satisfy themselves but also
their master is referred to as will to
please it is only natural that a breed
with so many good qualities has also
become the favorite for those merely
looking for a good companion for
themselves and their loved ones
especially for children the golden
retriever has a marvelous relationship
with children formed of happiness play
complicity love respect for the weaker
and protection the breed is not
naturally specialized in guarding
property and defending people as these
are tasks that require a different
mental structure nonetheless it has
considerable bulk powerful muscles
strong and sturdy bones agility
intuition strong jaws and teeth all
concentrated in over 30 kilos of weight
consequently although it is true that
the golden retriever is not specifically
qualified as a guard dog and for defense
it has instinct and intelligence
combined with considerable strength
therefore as is the case for almost all
dogs in addition to the inclination to
warn when a stranger comes near its size
demands respect and caution moreover it
would never allow anyone to harm
children in its company all the
qualities listed above it’s
extraordinary balanced kindness and
reliability combined with its calm and
non intrusive nature have led many
people to want this dog as a pet the
fact that if well looked after brushed a
couple of times a week with a suitable
brush and thinned out every so often
under the neck on the ears under the
tail and on the feet its beautiful coat
does not generally have that
characteristic doggy smell means the
golden retriever can live even in a
relatively small apartment making this
breed even more appealing to first-time
dog owners
this often causes people without any
training to buy this breed of dog as a
companion and consequently treat them
like people spoiling and patting them
treating them like children as a
consequence they lose their good
qualities and become disobedient tending
to do exactly as they please in the long
term this behavior could have a negative
effect on their temperament while if the
dog is handled correctly it tends to
keep all the splendid qualities
described previously another somewhat
frequent problem in dogs handled
correctly is overweight or even obesity
this is appalling and must be avoided
both for the health of the dog and for
the good of the breed
[Music]
the golden retrievers natural aptitude
to retrieve is put to good use in
hunting the British have always used it
in combination with both setting dogs
setters and pointers and hunting dogs
such as Springer Spaniels however when
appropriately trained this dog also
proves to be a good gun dog to use on
its own moreover at the calm and
well-balanced disposition of the golden
retriever it’s happy and faithful nature
its mesomorphic and moderately dynamic
build make it the retriever par
excellence and a methodical and constant
seeker with a peculiar trait it’s memory
it’s nervous reactions much less
convulsive and Swift than Springer’s
spaniels pointers or satyrs allow it to
reason calmly and deliberately and to
memorize things much better than these
dogs and memory whether this is
remembering the order and location of
objects to be sought or retrieved or
learning obedience exercises is the
basic condition for teaching any working
dog we do not wish to deal specifically
with training retrievers but to mention
a few things that should be done for a
correct approach to prove that there are
times in which beauty and brains can go
hand in hand we’ve already seen that
even when very young golden retrievers
are extremely keen to pick up anything
that catches their attention and hold it
in their mouths this propensity should
be continually in suitably encouraged
through stimulation and praise when the
puppy picks up an object such as a ball
to our anything else we must not make
the mistake of running after it
telling it off and attempting to take
the object from it nor must we play tag
with it as this develops the tendency to
grip too tightly which when fully grown
we’ll make it unwilling to release
things we should kneel in front of it
calling it gently so that the puppy
comes to us places its paws on our chest
and simply releases the object into our
hands so that this enjoyable game can
continue
[Music]
once we are sure that there is a good
relationship between the young retriever
and its natural propensity to retrieve
we can go on gradually to the other
obedience exercises sit lie stay etc
common to any basic training only after
these have been learned correctly and
the dog is in hand shall we go back to
practicing various retrieving exercises
the object used as a dummy composed of a
relatively soft sausage in fabric
marking consists of teaching the dog to
measure the distance between it and the
thrown object to be retrieved this
distance should initially range from 20
to 30 meters depending on the dog’s
natural capacity marking consists of
throwing the dummy for a certain
distance on flat clean ground so that
the dog learns to fetch it by sight when
we are sure it has learned the sight
technique correctly we can move on to
throwing the dummy on dirty ground with
tall grass or briars where it is
required to use its sense of smell to
find the object after a certain amount
of training the golden retrievers
excellent memory allows it to retrieve
several objects thrown one after another
to different places hunting is an
exercise which prepares the dog to seek
it consists in teaching it to cover the
ground in depth with a zigzag movement
without missing out any areas this
hunting technique is in any case already
instinctive to any dog this can be
observed when walking in a field or wood
so rather than being taught it is merely
disciplined this can be done in several
ways
such as placing different objects at the
corners of a zigzag trajectory with the
wind and favour and then encouraging the
dog with an expressive movement of the
hand simultaneously moving from right to
left
line is when the dog is sent forward in
a straight line this is the phase
subsequent to marking and can be taught
by centering the dog’s attention on an
object positioned at a certain distance
in front of it when it’s master orders
it to retrieve a second person hiding
near the place in which the object is
positioned will place another one a
little further off although still in the
same direction saimultaneously calling
the dog to get it used to going back to
retrieve the object and continuing in
this manner increasing the distance
gradually it is extremely important to
teach line correctly so that the handler
can send the dog directly to the place
in which it is to start the hunting thus
saving a lot of time handling is a
combination of the previous exercises
that is marking retrieving line sending
forwards and hunting searching in a
zigzag also called lasik the commands
given are get on line left right and
stop
stop is usually given together with a
sharp whistle which the dog can hear
even at great distances these are only a
few brief notions about training for
hunting aimed at arousing people’s
curiosity in order to encourage them to
contact an expert to obtain detailed
information as while golden retrievers
have an inborn instinct for hunting men
do not and without suitable help they
would only confuse their dogs in any
case in any type of training and
knowledge of the nature and temperament
of the dog we are dealing with must
always be regarded as essential and in
the case of the golden retriever it is
kindly and sensitive extremely willing
to learn and please its master but also
delicate and susceptible to any ruff
uncivil or unkind behavior towards it
which would inevitably cause depression
and humiliation
[Music]

the Golden Retriever is also a dog
suitable to be given as a gift as the
puppies look adorable
this dog is often given to children or
loved ones who have are not prepared for
having a dog in their home before giving
a gift like this it is essential to have
a good knowledge of the situation in the
house the dog is to live in and to be
sure that the puppy will be welcomed and
treated with dignity and competence we
would ask all owners of golden
retrievers not to treat these marvellous
dogs like ornaments or as indicators of
social status as fashion accessories or
simply to satisfy their whims but as
sensitive friends with extraordinary
qualities which must be considered for
what they are
splendid representatives of the canine
species
[Music]
a proper diet is essential to your dog’s
correct and full development so as to be
able to keep it in perfect shape and
health some people believe that dogs can
eat virtually anything and therefore
give their dogs all kinds of food often
recycling the leftovers from their own
meals this is a serious mistake since
what may be digestible to us and a
source of nourishing substances often
cannot be digested by dogs or is unable
to be metabolized a final piece of
advice it sometimes happens that a dog
loses its appetite and refuses food for
one or even two days this is a normal
occurrence and in these cases it is a
good rule not to always leave a full
bowl of food down for the dogs instead
the food should be removed after a short
time present the bowl of food again and
the following meal time after having
changed its contents in the event of
loss of appetite lasting for more than
two days without the presence of side
symptoms or if it is accompanied from
the outset by symptoms of general
suffering or exhaustion consult your vet
immediately it is very likely to be an
ordinary ailment but in this case it is
not worth taking a risk and it’s better
to seek reassurance from an expert
[Music]
we will now begin with a brief
description of a dog’s digestive
apparatus as in all carnivores the
stomach is of large dimensions whereas
the intestine is relatively short
initial digestion in the stomach takes
from three to eight hours then the foot
passes into the intestine where the
nourishing substances are assimilated
which are then transmitted to all the
organs through the blood the stomach’s
large capacity and the slow digestion
process allow abundant meals to be eaten
at fairly spaced out intervals naturally
to keep dogs in excellent health it is
necessary to provide them with all the
elements that they require that is
proteins carbohydrates fats vitamins and
minerals when dogs work on Everest
predators these elements were
assimilated by dogs through the animals
that they hunted and which were
generally herbivores afterwards
civilization has led it to feed
differently but it will always be
necessary to provide dogs with the
appropriate substances dogs produce
energy from their diet which is then
used for the maintenance of vital
functions and movement the more active a
dog is the greater the energy intake it
will require without going into detailed
food studies that would require a
specific treatise we can simply say that
dogs particularly require fats or lipids
both of animal and vegetable origin and
it is these which provide the necessary
energy and which accumulate in the
organism to provide possible energy
reserves the proteins that make up the
large part of the animal’s body are also
essential these are indispensable to the
formation of all the tissues especially
muscles and also constitute the basis of
hormones and the blood they therefore
represent an irreplaceable element in a
proper diet even more so in puppies
which must build their bodies
sources of protein no meat cheese eggs
and fish which are well digested by dogs
and also soya bean flour peanuts legumes
which are however digested with more
difficulty an excess of proteins is
harmful and can lead to various kinds of
disorders depending on the conditions
carbohydrates are not essential to a
dog’s diet they are however very useful
at the end of pregnancy starch which is
the most important carbohydrate present
in the diet is poorly digested by dogs
and needs to undergo preliminary
treatment such as cooking flaking etc
this is why if you use pasta or rice as
a food for your canine friend it needs
to be boiled for a long time to
eliminate a large part of the starch
present fiber which often accompanies
carbohydrates is especially useful in
the diet of sedentary dogs since it
helps to prevent constipation given the
speed with which it passes through the
alimentary tract vitamins are also
necessary even if in infinitesimal
amounts they are found in many
vegetables and are synthesized by
herbivorous animals this is the reason
why when a carnivore kills its prey
generally herbivorous it immediately
feeds on the intestines where there are
residues of partially digested vegetable
matter this also explains why to your
considerable annoyance your dog often
eats the excrement of herbivorous
animals as soon as it gets the chance
a buildup of vitamins can be harmful and
therefore if you use pre-prepared feed
you should carefully check the
substances contained in the feed before
adding supplements and if in doubt
consult your vet minerals are essential
to the diet and are supplied by foods
you’ll see in certain minerals such as
calcium iron potassium sodium copper and
others can cause abnormal growth in
puppies also with serious consequences
and general debility in adult dogs or
the onset of problems of varying degrees
there is excellent pre-packed feed on
the market both moist and dry types that
provide all the necessary elements for
initial growth and to then keep your dog
in top shape even if you use pre-packed
feed you will however be able to give
some fruit or other food which your dog
will find tasty taking care not to
exaggerate and not to give harmful
substances such as sweets fried foods
rice dishes fresh or soft doughy bread
that are extremely harmful and which can
also have very serious long-term
consequences instead if you want to
prepare the food yourself then follow
the advice of the breeder who sold you
the dog or your vets advice as a general
rule it is worth knowing that meat
ideally beef is essential if pork meat
is given it must be well cooked in order
to avoid infections poultry meat and
rabbit are also fine provided that they
are completely boneless giblets although
less rich in nourishing substances are
well liked fish is an excellent food and
is best given cooked it is particularly
advisable for low fat diets for dogs
with digestive or skin problems it is
also an excellent means with which to
make the diet less monotonous eggs are
appetizing and supply many nourishing
substances they are particularly
advisable for puppies and suckling
females yolks can be consumed raw
whereas the albumin should always be
cooked fats such as lard and oil are
always readily accepted
my dogs and are particularly useful
during moments of work of physical
effort one or two teaspoonfuls of oil
added to food are always beneficial dry
bread is a good energy source but it
must be well dried it is also useful for
cleaning your dog’s teeth and for
keeping them in good condition pasta and
rice are very useful but as we have
already said they should be cooked very
well to eliminate starch which is not
easily digested fruit and vegetables
even if not essential can be given to
dogs that appreciate them however the
nutritional intake is very slight and is
only worthy of note for the intake of
roughage needless to say the final
element which is essential to nutrition
is water fresh and plentiful that must
be available at all times if in a bowl
it should be changed as often as
possible
especially during hot spells it is
absolutely indispensable to dogs that
eat dry and not moistened feed the final
aspect of the diet to take into
consideration is the frequency of meals
from birth puppies have their meals by
following times that are spaced out by
the instinct of the mother and the other
siblings in the litter the feeds are
gradually reduced during weaning and are
integrated with suitable foods that
should be recommended by an experienced
breeder or a vet between 1/3 months of
age weaned puppies should have four
meals at regular intervals from four to
seven or eight months the number of
meals can be reduced to three further
reduced to two meals at 8 to 18 months
and afterwards if desired down to just
one meal a day even if it is not harmful
to continue with – on the contrary this
is recommended by certain individuals
[Music]
the decision to have a dog is an
important one to make which must be
thought over carefully without ignoring
some useful basic information the
vaccination prophylaxis must always be
carried out with utmost care to try and
protect not only the puppies but also
adult dogs from the most common
illnesses generally speaking a puppy
leaves the breeder after having been
vaccinated at around 40 to 45 days with
a triad vaccine against canine distemper
infectious hepatitis and parvo virus a
second quadrivalent vaccination also
including leptospirosis as well as the
three ailments already mentioned is
generally carried out after three weeks
an additional vaccination can be carried
out after a month again quadrivalent to
be then replaced annually throughout the
dog’s lifespan a dog can be vaccinated
only if it is in perfect health and thus
also free from endoparasites appropriate
anti helminthic treatment must be
carried out normally twice a year
different types of a scared’s exist each
of which specifically infests an animal
species man included and there is
practically no risk of zoonosis that is
transmission of the infestation from dog
to man it is important that dogs are
also kept free from actor parasites that
is those that live on dogs such as fleas
and mites both of which are Hamato
badges
morover fleas act as an intermediate
host for a type of taenia numerous
specific products exist free dogs from
these annoying parasites but one must
not forget to also carry out appropriate
disinfectant operations in the areas
where dogs live
the arrival of spring exacerbates the
problems caused by undesired guests the
mites that arrive along with the initial
spring warmth a run in the meadows
through woods perhaps near grips of
farmhouses and farms where there is
livestock can result in our canine
friend returning home with mites not
necessarily since some factors may exist
which make a dog more or less
susceptible also depending on its
general state of health that can
influence whether or not a dog will pick
up these Akari
they represent a grave danger to dogs
because they transmit pyro plasmosis a
serious infection carried by preserve
the pyro plasma species that affects
pets and also causes death if not
discovered and treated in time the
symptoms in its acute form are
represented by fever also stenick
asthenia pallor of the apparent mucous
membranes and hyper chromia of the urine
that can also become Brown black in
color in advanced cases jaundice and a
comatose state which could possibly
result in death the mites suck blood for
2 or 3 weeks and once having mated the
female then detaches itself from the
animal and deposits the eggs a week
later the deposited larvae recognizable
by their reddish color are minut like
tiny beads they also look for a host on
which to climb sucking blood for several
days they then detach themselves and
after a few days
change into octopi nymphs of bluish
color they become adults towards August
of September with the arrival of autumn
the adults immediately upon hatching
then lay dormant in cracks in the ground
until the next spring in general the
mites attach themselves to less thick
skin such as ears armpits groin between
the digits of the paws therefore as a
precautionary measure we should always
examine our canine friends for signs of
any undesired guests after a walk in the
open correct dog hygiene starts with
coat care for most breeds but not all it
is advisable to brush the coat almost
daily in order to remove the hairs that
have reached the end of their life cycle
the coat of many breeds requires
specialized grooming which is to be
carried out several times a year one
must not generalize about the fact that
a shiny coat is a sign of good health
since in some breeds it should have a
tendency to be dull
dogs must not be washed too often so as
not to damage the protective function of
the sebaceous glands the skin in normal
conditions should always look clean
without dandruff deposits or
desquamation x’ of any kind should
cutaneous alterations appear such as
eczema a love peace ik areas ie hair
loss and failure of hair regrowth
thickening or the appearance of abnormal
pigmentation consult your vet without
delay cutaneous alterations due to
mycosis or Manj are spread by contagion
but only in the case of particularly
debilitated animals and when one fails
to observe the most basic hygienic rules
pores must also be checked periodically
these are normally worn down in dogs
that undergo normal physical activities
but it may be necessary to shorten them
with the aid of a special tool oral
hygiene should never be overlooked and
especially in miniature breeds tartar
removal is necessary from time to time
because it can cause pyuria and bad
breath certain bones are available in
the market that besides constituting a
treat for our four-legged friend act as
a natural tooth brush in puppies aged
between four and six months the
deciduous didn’t Titian is gradually
replaced by the permanent one regular
inspections of the mouth are advisable
during this period to check that
everything is okay

the existence of cardiopulmonary
filariasis a serious disease caused by a
nematode parasite dier of ilaria
emitters or the blood and heart has been
known for several centuries as has been
known the important transmission
mechanism of the disease by the mosquito
for about a century however it is only
in the last 20 years due to the rapid
diffusion of filariasis and dogs kept
for company and work dogs that research
institutes pharmaceutical companies and
vets have paid increasing attention to
the problem it is therefore important
that dog owners are also aware even if
in general terms of the existence and
phenomena of the parasitosis
