    Golden Retrievers usually stop growing when they are 1-2 years old, but the specific time of stopping growth will vary depending on breed, gender, genetics and other factors.


    Generally speaking, male golden retrievers may have a longer growth period than females, and their canine teeth and body size will be larger. In addition, if the golden retriever's body genetic condition is better, then they may stop growing at an earlier time.


    Regardless, as Golden Retrievers approach adulthood, their growth rate will gradually slow down and their body proportions will gradually stabilize. At this time, dog owners can judge whether the dog has completed growth by observing the dog's body shape, weight and other indicators.
