hey all! :)
i love this site and i love chatting to all golden dog owners its great! just wondering, are female goldens usually smaller than the males? because bonnie is alot smaller than alot of goldens around although i have seen about 2 in my lifetime around the same size. is it normal for her to be smaller?
I have to say some of the pictures in here are beautiful.

yes, females are usually smaller built than males. I don't know the exact standart right now, in inches, but I'm sure someone else here knows :)

The so called, breed standard in the states is:

"Males 23-24 inches in height at withers; females 21½-22½ inches. Weight for dogs 65-75 pounds; bitches 55-65 pounds. "
