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.
