Golden Retrievers gradually became among the most popular dog breeds around. The reasons are not far to seek: they're intelligent, friendly, eager to please and beautiful to look at.

But Goldens do require a bit more care and attention than some other breeds. Anyone considering one of these magnificent animals should think carefully. When I got Sally, I thought housebreaking her would be easy. WRONG!

IT was a pain in the butt. She almost went back to the PetSmart. But looking back, I am so glad that I kept her. She has been my companion for over 2 years and you couldn't buy her from me.

Owning a Golden Retriever can be tough but the rewards are immense. These beautiful, loving animals will give back tenfold all the attention they receive. That unique Golden Retriever look as they face you smiling tells the whole story.
