re: Best dog to get?

I’ve got a 5 and 1 year old and we got a golden retriever that was 9 months old (rehomed). She has been a fantastic dog and the kids love her (she is now 1.5). The only thing with her is that she has extremely strong exercise and activity needs…this varies amongst goldens but we have to play a shite ton of fetch and run her a lot or she chews up stuff. She is a good family dog though.
