Characteristics Of The Golden Retriever

Over years of breeding, however, Golden Retrievers have been adapted to interact more with people. Perfectly suitable as guide dogs they are also able assistants for those who like to hunt and as companions for younger children. Interaction with people is important to them as a consequence of their breeding.

The first three recipients of the Obedience Trial Championships, a test of manageability, were Golden Retrievers, further evidence of their will to please. Living with their owners and being involved in all family pastimes is crucial to Golden Retrievers as they are so oriented towards people. Although they don't usually bark they will do if they desire attention or get bored. A golden Retriever needs regular exercise and will involve himself in any activity that you are embroiled in such as hunting, hiking and ball games.
