Why do you like Golden Retrievers?

I love our golden retriever. he can be such a baby. golden retrievers are beautiful dogs.

I "rescued" a golden from a family that wasn't exactly taking care of her. She is WONDERFUL with my 2 kids (a 1 yr. and a 2 yr. old). Although, she can forget what she's doing and sometimes she steps on my 1 year old (she gets too excited.. lol) So far I've had a Dalmatian, a JRT and Sable, my golden. Out of all of them I would def. say I'd get another golden retriever.

Well ya know.. if they're blonde they're supposed to be ditzy! lol I think they have an aloofness that makes them appear sort of ditzy, while they secretly are very intelligent. You cannot look into a retrievers eyes and not fall in love. If I could harness that power... wow.. I could be married to Marty Brodeur right now! LOL

I own a beautiful Golden Retriever named Lucy. We bought her from an amazing breeder in June and I am SO amazed at what a great dog she is. We have a nine month old son and she absolutely adores him. Every time he's on the floor, she'll lay next to him and put her head by his. It's so precious! I highly recommend Golden Retrievers to anyone. They are an amazing family dog and wonderful for children!

I totally agree. I have a five year old, female Golden Retriever named Katie. She's something else. She's like, no is, a member of our family. She's very smart, loyal, and very loving. We had a horrible scare when she was young. Mind you, she had all her shots up to date so I was thrown when she sick and was diagnosed with Parvo. She had to have blood tranfusions and everything. When we first took her in the vet told me that it was gong to cost a lot of money and I had to pay a huge amount up front to start treatment and the remainder of the amount once she was better, and the vet also said that even though we spend all this money and treat her she could still die. She said it was my choice, to have her humanely uthinized or to treat her, she would be hospitalized for several days if not longer and need a transfusion.... I looked down at my dog and her sad eyes looked up at me, almost knowing her life hung in the balance. My husband said we couldn't afford treatment...and was avid about it...but I stood my ground...and when she looked up at us...he also agreed to go ahead and treat her. But truthfully, I would have argued and paid the amount anyway! She was in the hospital for 8 days. When we went back to visit her, they had her walking down the hallway with an IV stand being pulled behind her...it was like a human being in the hospital...walking with their IV for daily exercise! She lived through it and survived! And has paid me back a hundred times over with loyalty, love, and companionship! She thinks she's human anyway! She's one of my children....and she's my girl!

I like Golden Retrievers and the main reason is they are considered non-biting dogs. As a father my first concern is my child's safety, so i really prefer gentle and loving dogs.

Golden Retrievers are supposed to make great family dogs. My sister and her family have one, and she's very good with my 4 year old nephew..

because for me golden ret. is a very lovely, good looking, funny and nice dog.you would never feel boring to be with them and also they are smart and pretty, they have lot of expression look on their face that enable uss to know how they feel:)

They are super furry and cute! I love them! Too bad I don't have 1.. and yah, I prefer the blond and brownish ones.

I don't like golden retrievers. I don't like dogs at all.

i agree with you..they're lovely dog and my Peggy is very sweetie and lovable.She isn't a pure golden because was borned from a retriever and a setter :)

I like them ok (One of our 5 dogs is a rescued F1 Golden/Aussie mix!) but I think they are much more hyper and much less easy to train than people think. Same with labs. I have worked with dogs for a long time and I prefer a smarter,less hyper breed, lol. :)

I really want to have a golden retriever! They are the most intelligent dog and they are very loyal. Golder Retrievers are the best dog!

I just love golden retreivers because they are such a good-looking dog, and they also look dominant. If I were to ever get a dog someday, it would definately be a Golden Retriever.
