Golden retriever's are such friendly, gentle dogs!  They're the third most popular breed for families in the US.
I love them too! They are so cuddly, Ive always wanted to get one, are they hard to take care of? 
They are very easy to obedience train to basic or even advanced standards!  
Oh cool! I would love to train mine if I had one, How many years do they live? do you know? 
They live 10-12 years.  I wish it was longer!  They can also be trained to be hunting dogs, or search and rescue dogs.
That seems like a rather short lifespan. Id feel sad to lose it if I had one, but thats life. I never knew they can be used as hunting dogs though. 
Yes, they are also really popular to use as assistance dogs for the blind or deaf.
Yea because they are so docile and calm dog breeds, I know they get rather large, how much does a retreiver usually weigh? 
Around 50-75 lbs, depending on gender.  They also have an instinctive love of water, I bet it would be fun to take a golden to a lake or beach.
Haha yes that sounds like fun, I know they really like to play, ive seen my cousins retriever in the pool.
