Physical Characteristics

Balance and symmetry are the words that best describe his conformation, and when he moves with long effortless strides, he is a joy to behold

Temperament
The Golden Retriever has an outstanding temperament which makes him the ideal working dog and the perfect companion. He is intelligent and can think for himself, but he remains biddable so he will take direction. He is exceptionally sweet-natured and relates well to people of all ages. He loves children, combing the roles of nanny and playmate with kindly ease.
