Goldens shed a LOT! But because they are such a special breed, we Golden owners overlook this "flaw" and just get used to sweeping every day. We've become experts on the best lint removers and vacuum cleaners on the market. However, their long flowing coat and tail make them the most beautiful dogs.
The golden retriever is a very social dog and needs interaction with people and other dogs. They need lot of exercise and love to walk, jog and swim. The upside is this activity keeps us in shape!"
Because of their pleasant demeanor, golden retrievers are the second most popular breed. They are also used as guide, therapy, police K9s and hunting dogs. Goldens are one of the most loyal and well-behaved dogs. They are intelligent, calm, loving, athletic and eager to please. They tend to be gentle towards kids and other animals and often are easy to train. They are generally nice to all people, even strangers.
Considering the size of their hearts and their irrepressible joy in life, nearly every human a golden retriever meets has the potential to be a companion who might, at any moment, cry "Let's go!" and lead them on a great adventure.
