Our family just got a 3-4month old golden retreiver (female) and she is very clam.
She lies down a lot, and doesnt seem to play like a puppy would. Ive only had her 1 1/2 days and i have yet to see her run around.
Is this ok or should i be concerned about something?
Dogs can take a while to settle in. But any new animal to a household needs to get a complete vet exam within the first 72 hours, in my opinion. There may be a health clause in your purchase contract with a time requirement for a vet check. Also, take along a FRESH stool specimen so the vet can check for parasites.
We actually got her from someone we know, and shes already gotten all her shots and stuff.
Im kind of thinking its the change in lifestyle.
I was told she is very playful with other dogs (she plays with a friends dog) but with humans she doesnt seem to be playful.
