It is unfortunate that one of the most favored pets, the Golden Retrievers are high risks for eye and heart diseases. These can be hereditary and also non hereditary. Some of these are irreversible, and require constant attention to check the onset, and if possible some treatment can be prescribed. The heart is also afflicted by heart disease.

In cases of the Golden Retrievers having one or more of these diseases, it is recommended that they should not be exposed to breeding, because these defects can be passed from generation to generation.

Eye disease is very common with Golden Retrievers.  Most Golden’s will generally have hereditary cataracts, which is a common eye problem.  At an early age, with affected Golden’s, one type of hereditary cataract will appear.  Even though it may not cause interference with the vision of the Golden Retriever, some dogs will progress into total and quite possibly severe loss of vision.

Sometimes, Golden Retrievers can get affected by non hereditary cataracts, although an examination by a board certified veterinarian can determine just how bad the cataracts really are.  If cataracts are indeed suspected with a Golden Retriever, then breeding won’t be recommended.  Breeding a Golden who has this condition can lead to serious problems, such as passing it on to the pups.
