It's Always Something

I am starting this blog to share and get information about owning a Golden Retriever.
Brandy is a 4 year old golden with allergy problems. She is constantly scratching herself and chewing her paws. She weighs 98 pounds at the moment which is rather large for a female golden. I am trying products here and there to combat her allergies and haven't found a solution yet. I do not want to medicate her or give her allergy shots.

She is a sweet and gentle dog who doesn't realize how big she is! She thinks she is small and is afraid of the neighboring dachshunds. She also jumps on people which is her only bad habit!
