I think my favorite breed of dog is the Golden Retriever! Have you ever known one?
My friend had one they're pretty awesome and soft!
They're great! I love that they're so easy to train! They love water, so I love to bring my Golden Retriever to the beach!
Labradors have a lot of those traits. If I'm not mistaken those 2 breeds are closely related, aren't they? 
I think so, since they're both retrievers! My Golden Retriever is trained as a search and rescue dog! He's retired now, though.
Oh wow, he must've had an interesting life. My big dog is a lab boxer mix. He is so sweet. Do you know where retrievers originated from?
I'm not sure were they originated, but they sure are popular! The Golden Retriever is the third most popular dog in the US and the eighth most popular dog in the UK!
I'm not surprised with their temperament and intelligence. Do you know any other interesting facts about the brred? 
Well, what I've learned is if you get a Golden Retriever, be ready for the shedding! They shed soooo much, especially at the change of seasons!
