Would golden retrievers be so loved if not for Air Bud?

Why do people like these dogs so much? They usually have a blank stare like they have the mental capacity of a goldfish. I dont think they should be as hated as the pit bull, but to me they bring nothing to the table as a pet. Air Bud was propaganda to make these dogs more popular IMO. Agree or disagree?

Have you ever heard of a Golden Retriever who ripped a child’s throat out?

beautiful dogs but I feel like only people who live in 600 Sqft apartments own them.

Highly intelligent and easily trainable... But whatever.

Easily one of the sweetest, most loving, and smartest breeds of dog.

I'd like to see a study that backs that up. Seems to me like they'd be towards the bottom of the dog IQ scale. Dumb fricks

We have a 5 year old



You’d have to be a terrible person not to like Golden Retrievers

No. Air bud was made BECAUSE golden retriever's are so popular. You got it the wrong way around.

Air Bud was made b/c a dog named Air Buddy got famous on America’s Funniest Home Videos and David Letterman’s Stupid Pet Tricks segments for being able to shoot hoops by bouncing a basketball off his nose. The original Buddy also played Comet on Full House. He died from cancer after the first Air Bud came out.

They're probably the most beloved suburban family pet of all time

You can do your own research, but you probably won't

Golden's are routinely used as service animals, hunting, search and rescue, etc...

The average golden retriever is probably smarter than you are...and if you even had the intelligence to google this topic, you would have figured that out.

I didn't know who Air Bud was until I read this thread.

Their only downside is the shedding. Other than that, a perfect family/protection dog.

They have been known slobber the hell out of people while wagging their tail incessantly.

You are either a complete idiot, or have never actually been around a Golden.

They are ranked as one do the smartest breeds. Any interaction with one would quickly show you that.

I bet you own a pitbull don't you?
