The golden retriever has experienced a meteoric rise in Europe in the last ten to fifteen years. This was not only to his advantage because the reputable, long-established breeders of the breed could not keep up with the supply of puppies.
Commercial dog breeders came into play, or simply well-meaning people who just let their bitch be mated without first joining a breed club with its relatively strict breeding selection criteria.
#1 The Golden Retriever is still a predominantly very friendly, stress-resistant dog that is ideal as a children’s dog.
However, there are a few aggressive and nervous specimens today. This used to be unthinkable with the Golden.
