Golden Retrievers
Ever since I can remember goldens have been my favorite dogs. Their temperament is perfect for families and kids, and they make excellent companions in the outdoors. My Daisy comes on almost every hike with me, and I’m pretty sure she enjoys it even more than I do - she’s definitely quicker than I am! I’m a firm believer in adopting not shopping, and that every pet owner needs to spay and neuter their animals; there are too many good dogs and cats in the world that need homes. I also believe that one of the most important aspects of dog owning is exercise. Dogs are animals that are built for high intensity work, and so many behavioral problems can be fixed by daily, rigorous exercise! I’ve put some links on here to useful websites related to dogs & golden retrievers.
