I love dogs and by far my favorite breed has to be Golden Retrievers. Owned any before?
I haven't, I've only owned small dogs like dachshunds and miniature pinschers. I know retrievers are very popular, probably partly because they're so easy to train.
I've heard that too, isn't it because they're one of the most intelligent breeds of dogs?
I would assume that's also part of it, but I'm not sure. Their friendly, gentle temperament is also a big plus for families.
