Grooming Your Golden

If you are looking for a "no maintenance" breed, a Golden is probably not for you. Goldens do require some degree of basic grooming maintenance. Regular grooming of the ears and tail is required approximately every two months. Nails should be clipped every three to four weeks. In between grooming sessions, regular brushing (about twice a week) is needed to maintain the coat.
