#10 As a specialist for small game and water hunting, he has long since made a very good name for himself with us.
#11 He is in no case suitable for a pure or predominantly kennel attitude, his sensitive character would suffer through the isolation from his family, behavioral disorders would be inevitable.
If you work full-time, a Golden Retriever is not for you.
#12 The Golden Retriever loves water in every form, no puddle is too dirty for him.
Although he is a very active dog, he quickly gets bored of monotonous, routine walks without variety. His intelligence also wants to be challenged. A retriever owner can easily escape the daily routine by "incorporating" small retrieval exercises or search games into the daily hikes.
