Purebred vs. ‘Shizume’ Golden Retrievers: Which is Worth Raising?
Golden Retriever is currently one of the most popular dog breeds, and many people choose to raise Golden Retrievers. However, Golden Retrievers also have distinct purebreds, and you might wonder which one is more worth raising – the purebred or the 'shizume' type. Do you think so?
1. Purebred Golden Retrievers are more attractive in appearance.
Purebred Golden Retrievers have better genetic genes, and their development will be better than 'shizume' Golden Retrievers. If used as a competitive dog, they need to meet the standard, and generally choose purebreds.
While personal breeding doesn't really care about the appearance of Golden Retrievers, ‘shizume’ Golden Retrievers are easier to raise.
2. ‘Shizume’ Golden Retrievers are cheaper.
In terms of price, ‘shizume’ Golden Retrievers are cheaper than purebred Golden Retrievers. If you have limited financial resources and don’t care much about the dog’s appearance, ‘shizume’ Golden Retrievers will be more suitable for you.
If you have ample financial resources and want to receive more attention, purebred Golden Retrievers have a high return rate when taken out.
3. ‘Shizume’ Golden Retrievers are healthier.
Generally, purebred Golden Retrievers are inbred, so there are many genetic diseases, compared to purebred Golden Retrievers, ‘shizume’ Golden Retrievers are actually very immune and easier to raise.
In this aspect, ‘shizume’ Golden Retrievers are superior.
4. ‘Shizume’ Golden Retrievers live longer.
Research shows that the lifespan of purebred dogs is not as long as ‘shizume’ dogs, because many purebred Golden Retrievers are inbred, which can lead to many genetic diseases, and easily have congenital diseases, while ‘shizume’ Golden Retrievers don’t have this trouble.
Therefore, in terms of lifespan, ‘shizume’ Golden Retrievers live longer.
5. Purebred Golden Retrievers have a more stable personality.
In terms of bloodline, the blood relatives of purebred Golden Retrievers are more excellent, so their personalities are more stable, while ‘shizume’ Golden Retrievers due to unstable genetic genes, their personalities also have differences.
If you have children at home and want to raise a dog, purebred Golden Retrievers are more suitable for families with children.
6. Purebred Golden Retrievers have higher intelligence.
Purebred Golden Retrievers have better genetic genes, and their intelligence will be higher, generally, if the owner teaches them a few times, they can learn, while the intelligence of ‘shizume’ Golden Retrievers will be lower, and their obedience will be lower.
In fact, no matter how high a dog’s intelligence is, as long as it is scientifically trained and utilizes treats as rewards during training, dogs that eat will readily cooperate with their owners, and they will quickly learn.
Raising Golden Retrievers should be noted:
Actually, whether it's a purebred Golden Retriever or ‘shizume’, as long as you raise it, you must treat it well. Especially in terms of diet, don’t give it too much salt, which can easily cause Golden Retrievers to have tear streaks and skin problems, and you must control its salt intake. Choose low-salt dog food with deep-sea fish oil to effectively beautify the fur, color, and remove tear streaks.
Occasionally feed them vegetables and fruits, which is more nutritious.Conclusion:
