A lot of families tend to like this breed because they are known for being a dog that loves to be around family and children. Not known for biting, not known for aggressiveness, just known as a good dog. And part of the, part of the dog's name, the breeds name tells you what that dog was designed for and that was to retrieve, to bring things back which does make them you know, tend to make them more of a playful fun breed you know as opposed to a dog that takes the ball and runs the other way with it. so Retrievers are initially good at that right off the bat which does make them you know fun and you know family oriented. And they are a very popular breed. You know and that sometimes can get people into problems thinking that every Golden Retriever is the same. Well they're not. There's different energy levels so it's good to try and match your family's energy level with the dog that you are considering adopting.
