Golden Retriever Dog Breed — 

My son finally found a dog which he enjoyed.  A Golden Retriever who has been a great companion for him and full of energy, warmth , swims the rivers, chase sticks and is never really grouchy ! He loves all people and is so sweet.  The one draw back is they have some health problems which I do believe he has out grown for him personally.  When he was very young, but 4 months old he developed a sore front shoulder which was absolutely painful for him where he would want to sleep all of the time.  The vet called it Chrodrinitus which could require surgery if it kept bothering him.  Lucked out, he seems ok.  Now he gets ear infections which is caused by food allergies.  The ear aquires alot of brown wax and the flap of his ear and inside turns red.  Take your dog to the vet and get ear drops  with hydrocortisone and antibiotics, Cephalexin,w hich should do it.  Change your dog food to organic without soy, grains , wheat.  It gets expensive but Natural Balance or Natures Recipe, something like that which is natural.  Or simply cook your food with veggies and meat! Enjoy your dog, he is a great friend!
