Golden Retriever Puppy's Precious 'Egg Head' Has People Completely in Their Feelings
Raising a puppy can be a real challenge, but there's so much to love about this chaotic stage of your dog's life. Experiencing the world through a new puppy's eyes is so much fun. And then, there's the most obvious reason: They're so tiny and adorable!

On June 15, proud mom Kenzie Berger on TikTok showed off her "egg head baby" in a video while smoothing her puppy's ears down to show the size and shape of that tiny skull.
She might have an egg-shaped head, but that doesn't make this gal any less beautiful - or any less loved by the people who can't help but gush over how cute she is.
"That's her smart knot," one person wrote, offering a different description of her head shape. It's not just this baby who looks like this - it's all Golden puppies at this age when they put their ears down, and it is precious.
This puppy is obviously young, and it seems like she only recently joined her family. Even so, she's fitting right in. Look at this adorable video of her hiding from her dad:

Raising a puppy this young can definitely be a wild ride as they learn how to be a dog in this world, but it comes with so many sweet moments along the way that it really does make it all worth it.

What to Expect As Your Golden Puppy Grows
According to the American Kennel Club (AKC), there are a few milestones your Golden Retriever will reach during the first two years of their lives. Their bodies and brains are growing so quickly early on!
In the first six months of life, your Golden will:
- have a short attention span but a lot of energy
- attempting to chew everything in sight
- develop sudden fears they have to work through
From six to 18 months old, they're in their "teenager" phase, which means they'll:
- reach 80% of their growth
- become a bit moody (it's the hormones, just like in human teenagers)
By the time they reach 24 months old, your Golden will:
- finish growing and reach their full adult size
- need plenty of exercise
- begin showing you their true, settled personality
Your dog may lose their puppy face, but they will always be adorable, especially in your eyes as their favorite human. But things will continue to be fun in a different way as they grow. If you're a new parent to a Golden, there are so many great adventures in your future.
