I have a 5 year old golden retriever.
Oh I love Golden Retrievers!!!  Do you take it in the water?  They have an instinctive love of water and are east to train!
Yeah. She likes to catch frisbees I throw to her.
How fun!  I bet she's good at it.  And they are well suited in suburbia or country environments.  Do you have a lot of land for her?
No. I live in a townhome. But my family has a cabin on the lake I take her to about once a month.
Do you brush her a lot? They have long coats and that dense inner coat keeps them warm and helps repel water.  But are a lot to brush!
