If you are thinking about adopting a Golden Retriever, then you will also want to learn about the Golden Retriever Weight standards. A full grown Golden Retriever will grow to be between 60 to 80 pounds. They are sound and muscular dogs. Their Weight is nicely spread out and they have a well proportioned build.
The male Golden Retrievers generally grow to weigh slightly more than the females, although it is not uncommon to have large females in this breed. Since the Golden Retriever is such a muscular dog, they can weigh much more than they look.
Golden Retrievers can still make great indoor house dogs regardless of their Weight. You will want to provide them with a lot of exercise and it is best if you have a yard for them to burn off excess energy in. They love being a part of the family and don't realize how big they are. They will try to be lap dogs, not knowing they are too big to be lying across your lap. They also enjoy sleeping in your bed at the foot of it.
