But after two weeks he was so friendly and smart. I didn't even take him to training school. If you want a AKC,OFA, or UKC there are rescues for them too. But when I went to the pound and asked for a Golden Retriever they had a 3 year old male, but he had hip displasia. That is common for Retrievers and Shepards.
Most purebreds get problems like loosing hair, itches, dieases, and more.
But a mixed breed from the pound is good. Don't support breeders. All they are doing is making money off their pets, like they are their laborers. I am not someone from the pound, I am really a 13 year old female who loves dogs. My brother and I begged our parents one day to take us to the local spca to look at the dogs.
