Good dogs mate......obviously i'm a Lab' man and would always choose one over a Golden. Think they take a bit longer to train than a Lab.....well so someone i know who has had them tells me...

I've owned working lines, show lines and a mix of the two, the gap between work and show is massive, the only thing they have in common is the fact they are all labelled golden retrievers.

HiLost 32 Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 saw a nice one working at an AV Retreiver trial last year, it was a very nice dog and nothing like the show types at all, thats the type you should go for if you want one for working and not just a pet. at the beer drinking thing though Quote Link to post
