I've never encountered a golden retriever that wasn't gentle and sweet. They really are probably the best and most loyal pet.

I've encountered a few Labradors and golden doodles that are more "protective" over their families and not as accepting around other dogs.

a golden doodle is also too yuppy of a dog.

Yep-Go for the Yorkie if you want an indoor dog. Great personalities-no shedding and great with the kids.

I googled this question years ago. The first article that came up said Boykin Spaniel. So I went to South Carolina and bought one. Best pet decision ever!

When I see these threads I always see a decent amount more votes for golden retrievers than labs.

I was always genuinely curious as to what the reason is for that?

I have 2 labs and I'd think goldens are virtually the same in many ways, so I always wondered what set them apart.

I love my Great Dane. Sure, she is huge, but she is so chill. She could be an apartment dog, doesn't bark and so calm. A lot of people are intimidated due to her size, but she is the sweetest/best dog I have ever had.

I grew up with labs, and they are great dogs. They just require too much exercise and their energy level is too high for me.

Dunno but I hate fricking ankle biters of any breed. Everytime someone is walking their ankle biter and it bows up and barks at me, I want to kick the little bastards across the street.

Brittany is always up in the rankings of best breed for a pet. They are easily trained and very low maintenance.

Where are you located? Ive got this beauty for sale on Craigslists right now. I just saw a $1000 offer, but I'd rather not deal with that buyer.

I have a Chihuahua, he's a great dog...for the family, hates everyone he doesn't know. Isn't interested in getting to know them.

My folks have a Jack Russell. Great dog for the family, a lot more willing to give someone they don't know a chance after a little while to get used to them.
