Tell me about golden retrievers

[Takingontheworld]

We have a terrier. Kids were scared of dogs before so we went for small breed. Now they're fully fledged dog lovers, and I still would love a bigger breed and have a real soft spot for retrievers.

Bit worried about the malting.... not an issue with current doggo.

Fudging cute!

I wonder how my terrier would take to a puppy that gets 5 times his size so quickly 🤣

Oh Joey 🤩

Not seen for a while but last one I seen was aggressive. When I was younger I didn't know their was such a thing as a aggressive dog(retrievers are portrayed as such fun sweet dogs) so I can only think it's down to bad breeding and puppy farmed dogs.

This is Joey, he's nearly 8 months & gets absolutely filthy at every given opportunity

[Takingontheworld]

I can't stop thinking about your gorgeous doggos!

[ThePawtriarchy]

You definitely need one @purpleme12

Oh my god I really want a golden retriever now
I used to have a German shepherd she shed lots they can't shed more than that surely
They sound amazing

Have had Retrievers for the last 20 years....our current id our 3rd. Not a negative to be said. They are loyal, loving to the point of adoration, playful, fun, gentle...i could go on and on. Hairy yes, and have one of the loudest barks! Ours actually smiles at you.....the corners of her mouth crinkle up when yiu talk to her! Live oozes out of them in spades. We also have a lop rabbit who she adores.. so gentle and kind natured with him

Very lazy docile

Our golden took a piece of my heart with him when he died. The best kind of dog. I thought he shed a lot, but compared to our lab he was a amateur

[Smallsteps88]

Best dogs in the world ever. You’ll learn to tolerate, If not enjoy, the dog hair seasoning in all your meals.

I dont own a retriever but a couple of people I know do. They are beautiful friendly dogs.

[SirSamuelVimesBlackboardMonito]

They're great with kids & babies too.

[SirSamuelVimesBlackboardMonito]

They are the best dogs. Get one and just buy clothes and furniture to match its coat to save yourself a lot of grief.

Our carpet choices are largely driven by dog hair camouflage ability.

We had a lovely male goldie when I was young, he was gorgeous & so sweet natured. He lived til he was 16 - he loved life so much! Yes there was muck & fur but it comes with the territory.
I just remember on winter afternoons, after we'd walked for hours in crappy weather across muddy but glorious countryside, we'd come home, the dog would be hosed off & he'd fall asleep in front of the fire. Our evenings viewings would be punctuated by gentle snores (& occasional farts!).

I knew a pair who chewed right through a wall once...

I mean, they were being left alone all day, so not exactly for no reason - but still, pretty impressive.

[Takingontheworld]

Stop it with the photos I'm dying from all the cuteness!

[AriettyHomily]

Hairy. Everywhere. In places you couldn't imagine hair to get. But bloody lovely

[Collidascope]

If we're doing photos...

[SirSamuelVimesBlackboardMonito]

Lovely dogs, crazy shedding. But we don't brush her much so maybe our own fault?

Keen on water (and mud).
