Goldens have a dense, water-repellent double coat with heavy feathering on the legs, tail, and britches. They shed a lot and blow undercoat seasonally, so an undercoat rake and a thorough blowout are essential. Mats form behind the ears, in the britches, and in the leg feathering; thinning shears neaten the coat and feet, but never shave the body.
