I love golden retrievers, especially when they are puppies! They are so darn cute! 
I agree, in my experience they are very nice looking dogs. I heard they were bred as gun dogs to retrieve shot ducks and game birds.
Really? That is interesting! I know they are great with kids! 
Yes, I believe even the name retriever stems from them retrieving shot game undamaged. Still, I agree they do well with children.
That's neat. What else do you know about golden retrievers?
I'm told that like myself they have an instinctive love for water. They are also said to be easy to train to either basic or advanced obedience standards.
Oh, I love water too. I should really look into getting one or two. Are their any special things I should know before getting one?
You should be aware that they are suitable to live in suburban or country environments.
