Golden Retriever Dog Breed — 

I have only had golden retrievers. They are the absolute most adorable puppies. I saw one just yesterday that was 8 weeks old and the woman was holding him in his arms like the size of a baby. When they are puppies they are adorable. With any dog you need to make sure you give them proper training from the get go but they are comparably easily trained dogs. They are generally great around kids. They can become.. curious with cats but in our household they have coexisted with no problem. Dogs are mostly how you train them. As a breed they have very low tendencies of agression but with bad training it is possible.

When they are full grown they very loyal. They love the chance to run and play with one another outdoors, but they are very happy indoors. Since they are larger dogs though make sure they have enough space in the house to roam because they can get restless if confined.

We have always had two dogs it gives them someone to socialize with and bond to, and of course get into trouble with. If it is your first dog I would recommend staggering them getting one and then wait like two years... kind of like children because well it would be a little stressful haveing twins if you get my drift.
