Start your golden's rug here.

Nuniq got the Classic Frame, hat included. Seventeen's family asked for the name all around the border, which is a custom request we are happy to do. Two goldens, two very different rugs.

This is Banks: the photo the family sent, the design we made from it, with "Our Golden Banks" running around the border, and the finished rug. Same puppy, start to finish. Puppies grow fast, so a portrait of the fluffy early months is a nice thing to keep on the floor while the real dog doubles in size.

What makes a golden look like your golden

Every golden retriever is "golden", and no two are the same. A custom golden retriever rug should get the details right, and the preview is where you check them.

The shade of gold

From pale cream to deep red, goldens cover a wide range. Daylight photos show the true color; warm indoor bulbs can make a cream dog look orange. Tell us in the note if the photo is off.

The feathering

Fluffy ears, a ruff on the chest and that soft fringe. The portrait keeps the fluff that makes a golden look like a golden, not a short-haired lab.

The grey muzzle

Senior goldens go white around the face, and their families love it. We keep it, unless you would rather see the younger face.

Which size for a golden retriever?

24 in (61 cm)

For a puppy, a reading corner or a spot by the door. A grown golden will hang off the edges, happily.

32 in (81 cm)

The everyday size for most adult goldens. Room to curl up with the face still showing.

40 in (102 cm)

For big goldens who sprawl, or for two dogs sharing one rug.

Measurements and care tips are on our size and care page.

about the shedding

Yes, a golden will cover the rug in gold hair. The soft pile is easy to vacuum, so regular vacuuming keeps it looking fresh. For spots, use cool water and mild soap and let it air-dry flat.

A gift for golden retriever people

Golden retriever gifts tend to be mugs and socks. A rug with their own dog's face is more personal, and it is something the dog uses too.

Questions

Can you get my golden's exact color?

That is what the preview is for. Send a photo taken in daylight if you can, and mention the real shade in the special request note. If the color looks off, we revise it.

My golden has a grey face now. Can you show him younger?

Yes. Send an older photo from when his face was still gold, or keep the grey muzzle. Both are fine; just tell us which you prefer.

How do I get golden retriever hair off the rug?

Vacuum it regularly. For spots, use cool water and mild soap, gently hand-wash the surface and air-dry flat. No bleach, no ironing, no hot dryer.

Can you write the name all around the border, like Seventeen's?

Yes. Ask for it in the special request note when you order, and you will see it in your free preview.

Can I order a rug from a puppy photo?

Of course. Banks's rug started from a puppy photo. A clear face matters more than age.
