Lovely Goldens---5 Reason Why It's Easy To Love A Golden Retriever

Golden Retrievers are properly named because
their personalities are like gold. So it's no
surprise that they are chosen so frequently to
be the family dog. Here are 5 reasons they will
steal your heart.

Loyal---When you look up the definition of this
word in the dictionary, there is a picture of a
Golden. (Sorry did you think this was going to
be an objective article about this breed?) They
may be friendly but they know who their hearts
belong to. Their devotion to their people is
steadfast and true.

Intelligent---You have only to take them to an
obedience or agility class to really appreciate
their ability to learn. Of course, a large part
of their success will depend on the human who is
teaching them. But with consistent, patient, and
loving training you will find that others in the
class will groan with regret when they see you
and your Golden coming because they know it is
near perfection that they will encounter.

Beautifully Elegant---The feathering on the tail
and stomach make them absolutely stunning when
they move. Their posture is so erect and proud,
it's almost as if they realize how gorgeous they
are, and think "Since I've got it, I'll flaunt
it".

But that doesn't mean that they aren't willing
to let their hair down and roll in the mud (or
other less attractive things), or jump in the
lake or river with zero encouragement. The most
amazing part is that unless they've gotten
totally trashed, they can stand, shake, and
they're beautiful again. How do they do that?

Owning one of these dogs takes a strong ego
because when someone says "Hello Beautiful"
there is never a question in their mind about
who is being greeted. However, I did have a man
call me beautiful once, but my Golden wasn't
with me!

Empathetic---They are masters at sensing your
mood. Just because they may be napping on the
floor doesn't mean they won't jump up and be
exuberant with you if you are celebrating.
Likewise, they are more than willing to lay
their head in your lap, lie on your foot, and
even lick away tears when you are sad.

Friendly---Even when they are deathly ill, they
are up for greeting their public. And though
they may hardly have enough strength to lift
their head, the tail will start to wag and they
will make their way to a friendly voice and
encouraging words.

Spencer was a Golden that lived a happy life. He
was healthy and had owners who would do anything
for him. Of course they took him on vacation to
a lake each year---there was no happier dog. One
day, at 5 years old, he swam down the channel and
back and for no apparent reason went into shock.

Even as his systems were shutting down, when he
was taken to the vet's office to get help, the
first thing he did was to wag his tail at a lady
who told him he was beautiful. He died about 10
minutes later. No matter how bad they feel their
tail always seems to be able to wag in
friendship.

People who love Goldens (okay, any dog) are a
breed unto themselves. But I know the owners of
this breed will all join me in saying, Goldens
are the best!
