Golden retrievers are wonderful dogs.....sometimes, you get lucky and get a really smart one...usually, they are great with children, very even tempered...
They need room to run or they need to be exercised daily...
Their health problems, depending on the breeder.....involve hip problems, dysplasias...and they tend to have an inordinately high rate of certain cancers.
They shed like hell....but, if given the opportunity, I would have one. I loved my Bentley, until someone stole him when he was 15 months...he was dumb as a rock...but, probably the most lovably, loyal dog I've ever had.
