True.  They are so popular these days.  They are the third most popular family dog breed in the US because of their friendly nature.
I love golden retrievers. I think they are such loving and loyal dogs. I can see why, they are not hard to train and love water Yes. I think they are just about the best dog breed. They also love to play. Yeah, and they actually have a coat thar repels water and also provides adequate warmth to them I think it's neat how their special coat helps them to stay cool in the summer and warm in the winter.
The breed's friendly, gentle temperament means it is unsuited to being a professional guard dog, but its temperament has also made it the third-most popular family dog breed (by registration) in the United States, the fifth-most popular in Brazil and Australia, and the eighth-most popular in the United Kingdom.
