Golden Retriever

The Golden Retriever is one of the most popular breeds in the USA and around the world. These dogs are intelligent, eager to please, and hard workers – a combination that makes them perfect guide dogs, assistance dogs, and search and rescue dogs. An average Golden weighs between 55 and 75 lbs, and needs a Large PlexiDor dog door.

The Golden Retriever

The Golden, as it is affectionately referred to, stems from Scotland, where the breed was created as a hunting companion well suited for the climate and terrain. The breed as we know it today took shape in the late 1800s. They’re generally good at whatever they do, and take tasks seriously.

These dogs are active and energetic, and require daily exercise. Goldens have a joyful approach to life, and they love to be part of an active family that takes them hiking, jogging, and lets them play every day.

The PlexiDor Large is the right size dog door for Golden Retrievers.

The Golden Retriever breed hates flap doors!

PlexiDor Pet Doors are long-lasting and beloved alternatives.

They have hinges, like a door, so there's no loud flap slap or flexible materials. They lock easily, and most models come with a steel security plate for additional security when you are away.
