Everybody’s friend, the golden retriever is known for its devoted and obedient nature as a family companion.
The Golden Retriever’s kindly expression says it all. This is one of the finest family dogs in the world: cheerful, demonstrative, trustworthy with everyone, and forgiving of any mistakes made by inexperienced owners.
The Golden Retriever lives to learn, to generate smiles, to romp with the children, and to please his owners. He’s a bundle of canine cheer without an unkind bone in his body.
Brains as well as beauty, along with an innate need to please his owners is the Golden trademark even above his handsome appearance.
While Golden Retrievers continue to be one of the most beloved dog breeds today, there are reasons to believe that Goldens are actually the worst dogs to live with… EVER!
