Golden Retriever breed review: Lucy and her Golden Retriever Martin

What can be said about this breed? I think I understand why this is one of the most popular breeds in the world, especially ever since we adopted Martin. This is truly a wonderful dog, and yes, probably the best in the world. They are very outgoing and sociable, but very patient and calm at the same time. Aggression is just something that you can’t see in a Golden, they are the very opposite of “aggressive”. This is the sweetest dog out there.

Of course, they are not entirely easy when they are puppies. Martin was a spoiled child, and very unruly during his first months with us. He would chew everything in sight, ruin things, bark a lot, pee in inappropriate places, and was very afraid of a lot of things including loud sounds and other dogs. We tried to teach him good behavior and explain to him what was allowed and what wasn’t. He got a few things and ignored most, so at times I got pretty desperate and wondered if I was able to keep him and my sanity. But then, with time, he just began to “mellow” out and mature, and all the annoying and difficult issues were becoming less and less common. It’s really like he was slowly beginning to understand his place and what was expected of him, and he did more and more of the things I liked and not the opposite.

Now he is, for the most part, a wonderful dog. He sheds lots and is sometimes a little aggressive towards other male dogs but that’s something we learned to handle. Otherwise, he is a treat to be around and I couldn’t imagine my life without him. He is very obedient and very smart. He knows lots of commands and most of the time he is happy to do as asked. He loves learning new commands (mostly because he loves the treats he gets) and he is very smart. I know he would be an ideal therapy dog or seeing-eye dog if we taught him that, he is just so eager to help and to please.

One thing is, a Golden probably wouldn’t be a good guard dog, as they are just too friendly for that.
