PLEASE NOTE: A Golden Retriever's nature is that of very high energy and they require a great deal of exercise, especially under the age of 3. If you do not have another dog, are not highly active, and do not have a lot of time to spend training and caring for the dog, you will have an unhappy dog and you will not be happy either. Please DO NOT check age 0-6mo, 7-23mo, or 2-3yr if you do not want a high energy dog. There is no such thing as a mellow Golden puppy so don't believe it! Call any organization that uses Goldens to help the blind or disabled and ask them if you need confirmation!
