About Faran the Golden Retriever | |
|
|
Faran is an exquisite Golden Retriever/Spitz mix. His fur is a light golden and fuzzy like a Spitz, but his face is soft like a retriever. Actually, he kinda reminds me of a seal....
Faran was found wandering the streets with his probable littermate Fallon. We think they got lost as they were in very good condition and sweet. We have been unable to find their original family so are looking to find them a new one. At first we thought we needed to find them a home together, but now that we have had them for a while we realize that this isn't necessary. They have been in a wonderful foster home and have demonstrated that they can be content separate from one another. The family that adopts one of these two darlings will be thrilled.
Foster Update 9/8: I had never looked after two dogs at the same time before, but these two are such sweet, docile and loveable characters, that they really aren't any more trouble than one! Fallon (red haired lady) loves to play fetch, while Faron is such a lover, he just wants cuddles! Both are really well behaved, sleep in their crate quietly, and are so obedient and come whenever called - I have started walking them off leash as they really don't seem to stray far. They are both house trained and now respond well to 'come', 'stay' and 'sit' - I am trying to get them to 'lay down' and 'high five' on command but maybe they are confused by my English accent!
There doesn't seem to be any evidence whatsoever of being maltreated - neither of them are nervous around people - in fact last night we had a dozen people over, including another golden retreiver and a one year old baby - and Fallon and Faron were friendly to everyone and not in the least bit phased by all the noise. They must have simply got lost - I cannot imagine anyone wanting to get rid of such gorgeous dogs. In fact, my whole neighbourhood is trying to figure out whether we can have co-custody so that I don't have to hand them back, but I will be glad to find them their 'forever family' who can keep them both together. They have already lost their family, so they can't lose each other as well.
Foster update 9/9: They have discovered the lakes around my house and had a wonderful time last night and this morning swimming around in them - they are now exhausted!!
According to www.dogbreedinfo.com, the Golden Retriever was first developed in the British Isles, probably from crosses between a yellow Flat-Coated Retriever, light-coated Tweed Water Spaniels, other spaniels, setters and even the Newfoundland and possibly the Bloodhound. In fact the breed was first shown as a Golden Flat-Coat. The Golden is one of the world's foremost family companion dogs. Many of the top obedience competition dogs in the country are Golden retrievers. The Golden is also a fine bird dog on both land and in the water. He has an excellent nose and has been used not only for hunting and tracking, but also for narcotics detection. Because of his great desire to please and capacity for love and learning, the Golden Retriever is also used as a guide for the blind, therapy dog, and service dog for the disabled.
These are lovable, well-mannered, intelligent dogs with a great charm. They are easily trained, and always patient and gentle with children. Loyal, confident, sweet and eager to please. It is active, loving and an outstanding family dog. Golden Retrievers enjoy pleasing their masters, so obedience training can be fun. They excel in obedience competitions. Friendly with everyone, including other dogs, the Golden Retriever has very little, if any, guarding instincts. While unlikely to attack, Goldens make good watchdogs, loudly signaling a stranger's approach. This breed needs to be around people to be happy. If isolated from human contact, or left alone for long periods of time, the Golden Retriever may become mischievous. They can be over-exuberant and distractible. Some of the Golden's talents are hunting, tracking, retrieving, narcotics detection, agility, competitive obedience, and performing tricks. These dogs also love to swim. They h
