Proposed new picture of a 9-year old Golden Retriever

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Should this picture be added in the Health and Lifespan section? File:Golden Retriever 9-year old.jpg — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tdelamaza (talk • contribs) 23:39, 29 August 2021 (UTC)

 Note: I'm closing the request, as this is the start of a discussion rather than a specific requested edit. Feel free to discuss on this section. Also you've got a mighty fine dog. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 23:57, 29 August 2021 (UTC)

Thanks. I can't edit the article myself as my account is not confirmed yet. Feel free to use the picture in the article if you deem it appropiate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tdelamaza (talk • contribs) 01:20, 30 August 2021 (UTC)

Health and Lifespan

Out of curiosity, why is is necessary to have references to the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals and PennHIP-- both American organisations, in the section regarding Hip dysplasia for an animal that is a popular global breed? Talking about having pups checked for Hip dysplasia specifically by organisations located in Missouri and Pennsylvania (resp) is unnecessary and is otherwise irrelevant to anyone not living in those states or the US, again, for a breed of dog renowned for it's popularity around the world.

Semi-protected edit request on 25 November 2021

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

The line X "The Golden Retriever is a medium-large gun dog that was bred to retrieve shot waterfowl, such as ducks and upland game birds, during hunting and shooting parties." Is incorrect. They weren't bred for waterfowl, which is one of the reasons goldens often show an aversion to holding and carrying ducks. Instead they were bred for upland game and deer. The source, directly from the Guisachan, the brith place of the Golden Retriever. Should be Y "The Guisachan dogs were bred to be strong working dogs hunting grouse, partridge and deer." https://friendsofguisachan.org/main/guisachan-dogs/ Jhanlauf (talk) 17:54, 25 November 2021 (UTC)

WP:NOTGUIDE Re-phrase the last sentence of Health and lifespan section

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

The last sentence of the section Health and Lifespan currently reads as follows:

"Puppies should eat about three cups of food a day and adults three to five cups, depending on the food and how active the dog is."

Wiki-content should not be phrased like this as it will contradict WP:NOTGUIDE. Rather, the sentence, I propose, should be edited as follows:

"Puppies are recommended to be fed 3 cups of food a day and adults are recommended to be fed 3-5 cups, depending on the food and how active the dog is."

The current version sounds as an advice from Misplaced Pages itself while Misplaced Pages does not advice anything. It can just narrate the consensus on what is advised. --81.213.215.83 (talk) 05:59, 17 December 2021 (UTC)

Hello IP, I agree the section was terribly worded and worse, terribly or unsourced. I have stripped it of everything unsourced or uniquely cited to unreliable sources. Cavalryman (talk) 07:04, 17 December 2021 (UTC).
Hello, thank you, Cavalryman. I saw the current version and it seems it would be better if the content of the section "Common health problems" are merged into the "Health and Lifespan" section. Those two sentences can be merged into a single section though I would say even the current version does not have problem. --81.213.215.83 (talk) 18:25, 17 December 2021 (UTC)
