I love dogs... my favorite is the Golden Retriever!
Goldies are easy to train and love water.
Do you know how smart they are compared to other breeds?
I assume they are quite smart as they are trained to be search and rescue, hunting dogs and guides for the blind.
Wow, so theyre working dogs.. Are they good with families?
Their gentle temperament makes them the third-most popular family dog breed.
The third most popular, do you know what any other popular family breeds are? I'm trying to keep an open mind.
The beagle is a nice family dog.  It's a small hound.
Goldens are much bigger than beagles though. Do Goldens have any medical issues seeing as theyre bigger?
I've heard Golden Retrievers have some problems due to inbreeding with hip dysplasia.
