Actually if I recollect correctly, there is such a club but whether it's still active or not - I have no clue on that. Check out the links below:

The Golden Retriever Club of Malaysia

The Golden Retriever Club of Malaysia

The last post was on 2011. Instead of page, we should create a group in facebook. A group is better as we can share photos and thoughts. Yea! We should create one! Or you prefer it to be name as LYN gr group is fine too. Its just that im worried others do not know that our group is from malaysia

There are a lot of other Golden Retrievers Club over on FB actually.

Lets make an outstanding GR Club among of them

So is that a GO for me to open up the group on FB?

yea..count me in!

I wonder if it is possible to train a Lab to fetch groceries. About 300 meters from the house.

I was on petfinder, and there is a section on lost and found dogs. Many lost (stolen?) Labs, but no lost GSDs. I wonder if their docile temperament makes them easy to abduct.

Anybody successfully toilet train their GR pup... been training for 3 weeks, but sill not successful...

Finally done with the Xray and the Vet are recommended to have a surgery name call "Canine Excisional Arthroplasty" Anyone here have done it before?

Just came back from Xray to my GR... get confirmaion from Vet, my GR are suffering with HIP dysplasia

Owh...which Doc/Vet did you see?

I went to Hope @ Penang but he recommended having this surgery with another Vet @ Ipoh.

How bad is the HD in your dog? Have you tried less invasive methods of controlling the condition before opting straight for the operation? Especially in young dogs where the HD is not yet very severe, it is often a better idea to try and minimize the condition as much as possible with appropriate exercise and supplements in order to give the dog the longest period of normal life as possible.

I am not a vet and (more importantly) i haven't seen your dogs condition or the x-ray, however in less severe cases of HD especially if it is in a younger dog that may have suffered a lack of appropriate exercise or vitamins/minerals during part of their growth, an operation isn't always necessarily the best solution and (assuming your dog is not in debilitating pain) it would be worth exploring other options first.

By the way, how old is your dog?

yes, in fact i am here to seek for some advice. but base on vet said .. seems the condition are doing bad.. especial right leg seems the socket will be flat soon. if still ignoring. i have not really have experience on such thing... hopefully as you mention some solution can help instead of surgery..
well, Vet are not encourage me bring him to exercise and not allow to jump. in fact, my GR was super active, specially he is happy,, keep on jump here and there...

btw.. mind to share with me more about how " less invasive methods of controlling". or any vitamins / supplements u guys have try before?

He is 20 months

This past Sunday I drove over to G-Pet, a pet boarding house in Bukit Rimau, to adopt a Portuguese Water Dog. I had initially wanted a Labrador, and am supposed to drive down to Ipoh this weekend to pick up a 8-week old Labrador pup, but a Portuguese made so much more sense. It is medium sized. It doesn't shed. It kept fishermen company on small boats, so functions well in confined areas. Obama has one.

But when I got there and talked to the proprietor, a Spaniard, he recommended I adopt a Golden Retriever there instead. I thought about it for a bit and went with the Goldie. He took him out, and his instant friendliness sealed the deal. He jumped all over me and covered me in saliva, tail wagging non-stop.

It's about one year old. Intact/unneutered. It's previous owner, "an elderly lady" put him up for adoption because he is hyperactive.

It has been two days now that I've spent with my Goldie, whose name from the previous owner is Brownee. (I find the name undignified, but the dog responds to his name, so I am keeping it.)

He learns very quickly. He was afraid to climb stairs on the first day, but mastered it within a few hours of coaxing. Though he would ascend stairs on his own, he was absolutely terrified of descending them. I would have to carry his 15kg down stairs. I tried tempting him to come down steps with treats (cat kibbles). I worked on it for hours (in sum; there were lots of breaks between sessions) but he refuses to go down stairs even when pulled on a choke collar. When I carry him down, he would be terrified, with his legs stiffly holding on to me as if his life depended on it.

Until today. All of a sudden, he started going down stairs. He would need some coaxing, but once he goes down one flight of stairs, the rest is automatic.

I pass by this waterfall several times a week but never had any reason to wade in it. Now with a dog, I have a reason to explore it, and the nature around where I live (I live in the country).

GR loves water but need to dry them thoroughly else they might smell is the undercoat is wet
