When purchasing a Golden Retriever, pay attention to the health certificate provided by the breeder and ask about the typical problems of this particular bloodline. Like all large breeds, Goldens are prone to hip and elbow dysplasia, which means poor formation of the joints. It is an inherited defect which can be modified by environmental factors, such as changes in nutrition, excessive exercise and trauma. Usually, adult dogs suffer from this disorder; it cannot be detected in puppies. Dysplastic dogs can not be used for breeding and shows, but may lead a long, happy life, if given proper care.
