The goods and bads of a Golden

Good Points:

Goldens are intelligent( generally), happy-go-lucky, pleasant, train easily, will be a wonderful friend.



Goldens have wonderful personalities, great dispositions, they are irresistable, extremely smart,
very perceptive, lovable, and they can make you laugh more than any dog you've ever known.




Bad Points:

Goldens don't live long enough



You have to change your lifestyle around for up to 15 years



They SHED, and I mean shed



They will drool, though not at bad as some



They never grow up.



They steal, they think that they are people and can test your patience.



A good breeder is hard to find, when you find one they are hard to convince that you are good enough.
You'll be tempted to go to a Back Yard Breeder, but should not since this breed has been bred thin on health.
In other words it doesn't take much to destroy a healthy line.



You'll be tempted to breed your dog because you will be so far in love...but never breed for that reason
you could wind up with a broken heart as well as wallet.



You'll spend a small fortune on toys, film, doggy beds, cute pet photos with santa.



You can't let them run loose, all it takes is one odd scent and they will be gone, so you'll have to buy
a leash to match every outfit, every occasion, every holiday, and one of those really fancy, expensive
braided ones just to show off.



You'll start making excuses for the stupid things your dog does, you'll try to laugh it off for friends,



Friends who will stop coming to see you cause they can't wear anything but kaki colored clothes.



You won't miss the friends long...the dog will see to that.



You'll be worry...you think kids are bad to give you grey hairs.....



And the worst point is that one is never enough.
