The Vigorous Health of Golden Irish
Thanks to the phenomenon of hybrid vigor, the Golden Irish dog inherits the best genetic traits from both the Irish Setter and the Golden Retriever. This results in not only a stronger immune system but also a reduced risk of genetic health issues common in purebred dogs. Typically, a Golden Irish enjoys a full, healthy life, often reaching 12 to 15 years.
Our breeding program at Golden Ridge Hi-Breds ensures that both parent breeds are not going to pass on health issues, which significantly contributes to the health and longevity of the Golden Irish. Health screenings further contribute to every puppy’s health and joy.
