Are golden retrievers good family pets?
Golden Retrievers are a versatile breed that will greet everyone with a smile and a wagging tail. This breed adores children and aims to please its family and most people it meets. The down side of this characteristic is that Golden Retrievers require lots of companionship to be happy. If you are looking for a dog to leave at home by itself while you and your family go on outings then a Golden Retriever is probably not the right breed of dog for you. On the other hand, it is easy to spend time with Golden Retrievers because they are active dogs: they love to retrieve anything you throw and can spend hours at the park or beach bringing back tennis balls, frisbees and sticks. Golden Retrievers love to be with people and make excellent companions.
