  Always great showmen and competitors, Goldens trip the light fantastic in the conformation ring, beguiling the judges and the spectators with their beauty and performance.

  Hot spots—inflamed areas of skin that often become open sores—are common in Goldens and can have a variety of causes, including chemicals found in lawn and garden products, flea or tick medications, shampoos and other coat products, and some housecleaning products.
