Dog lovers usually love to talk about dog-related matters. Teaching basic commands and tricks will help your golden enjoy life and be healthier mentally and physically.
Plus training will further your bond. A well-socialized puppy or dog has a much happier, full life. And, if done properly, a socialized dog is less likely to have certain undesirable behaviors like aggression from fear of the unknown.

Golden Retrievers most commonly die from lymphoma, blood, and bone cancer but are more prone than other breeds to other types of cancer as well — even from an early age.
Cancer is the number one cause of death of dogs in general aged two and older and there have been cases of Golden Retrievers developing cancer at a younger age. When it comes to cancer and other health issues, genetics influences the likelihood that they will develop it. If you are purchasing your Golden Retriever from a breeder, asking questions about their lineage helps identify whether or not your Retriever has healthy genes. Although it may not directly contribute to their lifespan, Golden Retrievers are also prone to joint and hip problems.
This can cause inflammation and reduce their quality of life significantly. Other factors contribute to a shorter lifespan in the Golden Retriever. Having said that, did you know that you can take steps to help extend the life of your Golden Retriever? Keep in mind that these tips do not only apply to Golden Retrievers — they are fantastic ways to give any dog a longer, healthier life.
Unless you feel that you would not be able to take care of your dog in the long term, though, this is no reason to deter you from getting one. The Golden Retriever is an amazing breed. They are some of the friendliest, most loyal dogs on the planet. This hypothesis also breaks down with dogs, as small dogs are known to live longer than bigger dogs, she wrote. The key may be hidden in doggie and human DNA.
A natural process called DNA methylation — or the attachment of a group of three hydrogens and one carbon a methyl group onto parts of a DNA molecule — can serve as a sign of aging as the rate of methylation tends to increase with age.
Scientists use these " epigenetic clocks" within the DNA to discern a person's age, according to a previous Live Science report. These clocks have "shown not to really translate to other species," Ideker said. But it turns out, researchers "were just looking at the wrong marks. They published their findings Nov.
But the question remains: Is this methylation a cause or an effect of aging? Or perhaps it's linked to aging in some other way. But if we can figure out why methylation happens — and why it happens faster in some animals than others — perhaps that can help humans control or slow aging, he said. And then the furry loves of our lives can live longer Oh … and us too. Augie's owners, Jennifer and Steve Hetterscheidt had planned a person party for Augie's 20th birthday that had to be canceled because of the pandemic, according to CNN.
