I love dogs and think Golden Retrievers are amazing. Their natural instincts around water and the ease with which they can be trained is quite something.
They seem to be a very popular dog, do you know if they're the most popular in the US?
They are the third most popular family dog in the US, compared with the eighth most popular in the UK.
Interesting, do you know what breeds of dogs are one and/or two?
The labrador retriever is the most popular, followed by the German Shepherd. The Golden comes 3rd and is also the 5th most popular breed in Australia.
Oh that makes sense, labradors are so common, I wonder why?
Their temperament and intelligence are important factors. That's why they are popular disability dogs, frequently being trained to assist people with disabilities.
Thanks for explaining, that makes complete sense!
