My first dogs...

[BC_MoM]

How do I train them correctly?
Well, it's not a DIFFICULT task to teach a dog the basics. I suggest enrolling in some obedience classes.. it will also help you three bond more!

What's a good food for them?
There's lots of good food out there.. but it depends on your dogs body and how they tolerate different brands. You may have to do some trial and error. I feed Purina One Lamb and Rice to my dogs. I tried Canidae (which is supposedly the best food out there) and they did HORRIBLY on it. So, my conclusion is that the dogs body decides. Not you.

How much excersize should I give two adult Goldens?
Moderate excersise, most likely! A daily walk or two and some good games of fetch or whatever they like in the backyard for an hour or two. Goldens benefit from lots of excersise but they are relatively calm dogs requiring moderate excersise.

Where should they sleep?
I would advise crating them for the first few weeks, or keeping them in your room on the floor with you until they settle in and you make sure they behave enough indoors, unsupervised. If they aren't chewers and are housebroken, they will probably fine picking out a spot for themselves.


GOOD LUCK! I'm very excited for you! Even more excited for you adopting rather than buying from a breeder.

Is there a website to the rescue these guys are at?

[caseysmom]

I suggest california natural or innovea, there are not the fillers that Iams has. Good luck with your new babies.

Its great that you are getting the 2 GR's but it seems to be going a little fast. Wasn't the owner going to get them neutered first?

They are not at a rescue. They're at a person's house that's gettign rid of them.
