Golden Retrievers is a Human & Animal Loving Working Dog Breed

Ideally, the Golden has a peaceful and calm attitude when with other animals and human beings. A service dog has to have good relations with others. They often work in groups, and a working dog can not attack on two fronts when trying to trap his prey. But "always loving" also means that the Golden shows too much cheerfulness, that he wants to go up to everybody and that he may encourages complete strangers to pet him. The Golden does not have guard or protective attitudes. A desirable characteristic in his personality is the amiability towards his relatives. But there are also some who don't always get along well with others, who growl or who get into fights.… cordial and self-confident

Golden Retrievers often react cordially and confidently in friendly approaches and enjoy moments of affection with humans. But you can't tell a Golden who he should love and trust; you have to give him freedom to avoid the people he doesn't like. Breeders tend to have different priorities in their upbringing. If they give more importance to work aptitudes, it usually results in them not having such a nice appearance. Usually, Golden Retrievers of a working lineage have a lighter build and are thinner; they don't always correspond to the line of beauty, but they are quick and agile and have a lot of temperament. They are very attentive and react faster than other Golden Retrievers to the slightest indication or expression. Work dogs are usually dedicated to hunters. To entertain them according to their conditions, you can give them a rag doll; as pure family dogs, their aptitudes are limited. You mustn't mistake Golden Retrievers of a working lineage for those who have once in their life passed a "work test". Currently many Golden Retrievers, especially foreigners, come from lineages that are called "Show". Many of these dogs are very close to the ideal image of a Golden according to the Breeds Standard, but they are usually heavier, quieter and of a calmer temperament. Quickness and agility are not their strong point and, therefore, are more apt to be family dogs; however, they also have conditions to work in a lesser degree, and that way they are kept busy. There are many dog kennels for Golden Retrievers who combine the aptitudes for chores and beauty. They appear in canine shows in the category of service dogs and deserve a special attention because they come very close to the ideal of that canine breed.
