Description
Dog Breed: Golden Retriever. Hi there! My name is Iris, and I am a 4 ½-year-old Golden Doodle with a heart as warm as my soft, camel-colored coat. I’m a retired breeding female, which means I’m finally ready to focus all my love and attention on a forever family of my very own! I’m what you might call a "professional sweetheart." My favorite things include wagging my tail, meeting new people, and showing everyone my gentle, friendly temperament. I weigh 47 lbs, which I think is the perfect size for long walks or cozying up on a rug near you. I have beautiful brown eyes that I’ll use to look at you with nothing but love! I’m also a very good neighbor. I get along great with other dogs and generally think life is just better when everyone is being nice. I’m already spayed, fully vaccinated, and ready to start my next chapter. If you’re looking for a "just plain nice" girl to add some sunshine to your home, I’m your lady!

Overview:
The Golden Retriever, a beloved breed originating from the Scottish Highlands in the mid-19th century, was developed for retrieving game from land and water. Physically, they are medium-sized dogs known for their striking golden-colored coats, ranging from cream to dark gold, which are dense and water-repellent. Their gentle eyes and friendly smiles are as characteristic as their feathered tails and strong, well-proportioned bodies. Temperamentally, Golden Retrievers are celebrated for their amiable, intelligent, and devoted nature, making them exceptionally patient and tolerant companions. This makes them superb family dogs, typically great with children and other pets, though their need for space and exercise means they are generally less suited for apartment living. While generally robust, they are prone to certain health concerns such as hip and elbow dysplasia, certain cancers, and eye conditions, making regular veterinary check-ups crucial for their long-term well-being.
