I love Golden Retrievers and am considering buying one! I would love to go swimming with one since they love the water and are very obedient!

Yes they do!! I had a swamp by my house growing up and she always went in 
1_Wizard
Oh that is awesome! Did you have her fenced in? I would imagine she would have a tendency to roam around and maybe get lost.

We did, but, she always got out, It's okay we lived in a small town in the country so she ALWAYS came home
1_Wizard
Oh that sounds perfect since they are better suited for suburban or country life!

much better, but she did love the beach!! WE now live in the south and I see a lot of GR on the dog beach! They LOVE the ocean

Really? Did you notice she was helpful with daily activities? Golden Retrievers are usually used for assisting people with disabilities, such as blindness or deafness.

she was!! After my surgery she would help me pass notes back and forth to my mom in the other room! She would even bring me things I needed! I would say " Ginger get me my sweater" and she would!!

That is really sweet! They are such amazing companions. They also help in hunting, aiding people with hearing issues, and search and rescue efforts!
