Aww i love Goldens!When I was young my family raised Springers. They were sweet, wonderful dogs but pulling burs out of those ears was not fun. My first dog, as an adult, was an English Cocker. She was the perfect size for an apartment. I loved her dearly but she wasn't very bright. Then, I got married and we got our first Golden Retriever. My children are now grown and we are on our third Golden. I can't imagine a better dog, smart, easy to train, and so loving. So, as much as I like Spaniels, I had to vote for the Retrievers. Yes, we live with lots of dog hair (we call it golden glitter) but it is a small price to pay for all that love!
