A cheerful golden retriever sitting with its tongue out — a classic friendly dog with big simple shapes that suit the youngest colourers.
Everyone knows and loves a golden retriever, and this one is drawn to be as approachable as the breed itself: a rounded sitting body, floppy ears, and a happy open mouth with the tongue out. It is an Easy page for ages three to six, with large areas — the body, head, and ears — that fill quickly and keep young children motivated. Golden and tan are the natural choices, but this friendly dog works in any colour a child likes. There is just enough shape in the ears and face to give it character without becoming fussy. The bold, closed outlines keep colours neat, and the whole page comes together fast. Download it free as a PDF and a PNG, with no sign-up needed.
Coloring idea: Blend a little brown into the golden fur to give the coat some depth.
