I have heard that a good hunting dog should be kept outside in a kennel or they aren t good for hunting, is this true?
This notion is an old and outdated myth. The best hunting dog you will ever get will be happiest when he has bonded closely to you and is living inside your home as a well loved pet. Again, Goldens are miserable when left alone for long periods of time. Goldens, when sharing the home with their family, will bond with their owners and work hard to please them in the home and the field.
