@@anitas5817 I remember some incidents with golden retriever when they became so popular. But they happened because the owner didn't care about responsible dog ownership.

Just remember they still need exercise and to be socialized. Although they are less prone to reactivity then some dogs, they can still turn reactive,if not given the proper care, any dog can. So please make sure before you get a dog that you can provide proper care. Your fur baby is your literal child, if you wouldn't leave you two year old alone for 2 hours please don't leave your 6 month old puppy. And always make sure that you're getting the right dog for you and your family! Edit: there's a war in my comment section 👀 and no I'm not saying human and dogs are equal

Bro he's not lying one bit. I have a 6 month old golden retriever and seriously every bone in her body just wants to please us. I've seen a lot of dogs in my life. Never have a met a dog so good with kids. She snuggles them, follows them around, plays with them, not a growl, not an uncomfortable face ever! She just loves it all, I have very young kids so they are still learning how to correctly act around animals, even when they get rowdy she handles it great. I highly recommend for a family dog.

[@Oldconcreteguy]

My first and only dog was a golden . I had her for 18 years , took her everywhere and never a problem. Except when it came to a tennis or racquet ball , she was obsessed with only those two balls . A baseball, softball, golf ball , any other ball , forget it . I couldn't hide them , I could put a tennis ball in my attic and she sit in the hallway , looking up at the crawl space, and bark .

[@yellowlabrador4918]

They need a friend. I don't know if it's true but every golden that has another golden to keep itself active when the human(s) is busy is a happier boy/girl than those without. A cat or a dog of a different breed works too but they need company (and another golden (or 2) works perfectly).

[@lucianafrogcat3570]

But they have so much energy that when you get home from a 3 hour walk they want to play...

[@daytwaqua]

For anyone considering getting a Golden Retriever, if you're looking at the negatives that are sometimes alluded to, I assure you that their positives outweigh these negatives, to an exponential level. In fact, if you listed every single bad trait that any canine has, or has had throughout history, the positives still more than cancel out the negatives. Basically what I'm trying to say is, their positives are so overwhelming high that there simply aren't enough negatives to overcome them. They're the greatest pets in the multiverse, and everyone should own at least two.

I have my disabled brother watch them and they demand to go out 4 to 5 times a day for up to 2 hours at a time. They also go swimming almost every time they go outside which can lead to smelly yeast infections in their fur and once we even had a pair of hot spots on his cheeks. So keep them dry when not in the pool.

[@stephaniebrantlinger8602]

I have a Golden boy named Tucker. We adopted him at 10 weeks old and he turned 8 in May. He’s the best family dog. Before getting a Golden, be prepared for 24/7 shedding, constant grooming to maintain overcoat and undercoat. Long hairy grinch paws and paw pads and nail trim that need grooming for balance and walking. Skin allergies and sensitivity from long hairy coat. I’ve spent many $ at the Vet on allergy medicine and sometimes allergies that turn into skin infections which require antibiotics and steroids. My boy is very social. We go for daily walks to get his energy out and keep him active to prevent hip problems as he ages. He is a gentle giant (at a whopping 102 lbs) with all kids of any age. Some Goldens are in the x-large category because of their bone structure. On a rainy day I have toys for him to destroy. My boy loves swimming, snow, and rolling in dirt/mud. He’s so silly and we love him to death!! 😄

One of my friends had a golden lab, and for whatever reason, bro was *enormous.* Not like, fat, but like twice the size of a golden typically. Might've been a mix with a larger breed or something. But he *had* to sit in people's laps. They never broke him out of it when he was a puppy. I, of course, was fine with this. If I go out being suffocated by a 50 pound ball of fluff, then that's how I go out.

[@TerryProthero]

We had a black lab husky mix when I was a kid. Similar kind of dog, but black instead of golden and was a bit bigger. I think she got up to about 80 pounds. But all the same pluses mentioned here. Crazy smart. Great attitude. Perfect family pet. In most cases, she didn't even need to be trained. She picked up on things on her own or with very little effort on our part. She was really good around kids. One time my half brother and his wife were over. They had a toddler at the time, and she was scared about having the child around a huge dog. So, my brother is rough housing with the dog. She was biting him hard enough to leave red marks but not to break the skin. He grabs the kid's arm and sticks it in the dog's mouth. Princess stopped instantly with her mouth open. The kid's mother almost had a heart attack. But what she didn't know was the dog knew how rough she could get with a person based on their size. An adult, in my brother's case, vs a toddler. At that time, my niece was still little, and my mother saw her playing with the dog. Princess was barking and growling and biting her arm. It looked pretty scary, until my mother examined the child's arm. Keeping in mind that I have seen this dog bust a thick tree branch in half with one bite. The child didn't have a mark on her arm. It was all a big show. Another time, one of my sisters had a slumber party. One of the girls had been bitten by a big black dog. So, she was terrified of Princess. Well the dog wasn't having any of that. The girl ended up sleeping with her. And I guess she got over her fear of big black dogs.
