Why are Golden Retrievers so vulnerable to cancer?

Golden Retrievers are one of the world's most beloved dog breeds, but they also face unusually high rates of cancer. This documentary explores the history, genetics, breeding practices, and scientific research behind the problem.

From hemangiosarcoma and lymphoma to the genetic bottleneck created by generations of selective breeding, we examine how the breed's past may have shaped its health today.

The story is not simply about dogs. It is about what happens when humans select for appearance, popularity, and specific traits without fully understanding the long-term genetic consequences.

We explore the Golden Retriever Lifetime Study, the role of genetics, the history of the breed, and what breeders and researchers are doing to improve the health of future generations.

If you love Golden Retrievers, this is a story worth knowing.
