Re: Health clearances
We should also note that golden retrievers are prone to "Retinal atrophy". It is an eye disorder that causes blindness; entropion; epilepsy; osteochondrosis.

Re: Health clearances
Oh and by the way, golden retrievers are also highly susceptible to hip and elbow dysplasia. These are conditions that can be triggered or exacerbated by too-rapid growth of puppies. golden retrievers tend to put on weight easily and a combination of a healthy balanced diet and regular exercise is needed to keep the dog slim and fit.
