I agree. Golden Retrievers are a great choice for families with children. They are so laidback and patient. Plus all that you mentioned above.

Great lens - brings back memories. We had two Golden Retrievers and they were fantastic dogs - Bindy and her daughter Cindy (named by our young children). What can I say - intelligent, affectionate, loyal, great with kids, true companions for many years.
