Picture of Golden Retriever Dog



The Golden Retriever was developed as a retrieving dog to use while
hunting wild fowl. Today the Golden Retriver is one of the most
common family dogs as it is easy to handle, very tolerant and does
not require very much of the owners, other than regular exercise,
food and veterinary check-ups. It is often affectionately known as
Golden, or Goldie.


What makes the Golden Retriever unique is its pleasing personality.
This breed gets along well with people and other dogs. It will bark
when startled but other than that, makes a poor watchdog due to it's
friendly nature. It is also easily trained because of the natural drive
to please the master. Golden Retrievers love to be with people.
Goldens are most happy in the presence of people without
being annoying or demanding.
