How To Pick The Right Golden Retriever Name

Golden Retriever Dog

Golden Retrievers are one of the most goofy, gentle and loving breeds you can adopt.

There are a few things to consider when naming a Golden Retriever to make sure your dog’s name is just as golden as they are.

Even though most Golden Retrievers are pretty similar there are still some things that can be different from puppy to puppy. The color shades that a puppy might come in range from cream and light golden to gold and rusty red.

A dark red golden might suit a name like Redford or Clifford. The classic golden coat might suit a classic name like Tucker or Sunny.

Waiting to meet your puppy will also help you to get a feel for their personality.
