Senior Goldens usually get along well with other dogs. A senior can be a nice addition to a multi-dog household. Because they are gentle and tolerant, older Goldens provide an excellent introduction to the world of dogs for children. They often have experience in coping with crawling or tumbling children.
Seniors are a lot less work than puppies or young dogs.
These calm, dignified Goldens will not jump up on Great Aunt Ethel or topple an unsteady toddler. Vigorous exercise is not required, sedate walks will do just fine. And when you take a senior Golden for a walk, you will not feel as though you were shot out of a cannon each time you leave your house. While senior Goldens enjoy outings, they are equally content to stay home curled up near a family member. They are happy to do anything, go anywhere, as long as it's with their special someone.
