I’ve never met a Goldie that wasn’t friendly.

Their performance as ‘watch dogs’ is limited to watching the burglar take everything out of the house.

They can’t help themselves… they really can’t.

I knew a guy who had one that was so friendly, she'd probably help the burglar carry out the looted goods. But he'd be stuck there until she was done with him throwing her ball.

Not if they are taught to bark. Not attack, just wake up Mom&Dad about the guy breaking in.
A watch dog is just that: WATCH. The job description says nothing about repel. Quit buying a doggo for protection if you are unwilling to work as a team: you let me know, I handle the problem. Oh, and then, you don’t dig him up.

I was walking through the parking lot of a supermarket, a while back, and I passed in between cars. I saw a golden retriever in the back of a car, eyeing me with a baleful look.

I am unable to pass a golden retriever without admiring the furry golden bundle of love, so I paused ever so slightly as I looked at the dog… And it launched itself at the window snarling at me!

I have to tell you, I was so utterly surprised and startled! It was absolutely the last thing I expected! Never had it happen to me before or since with a golden, but it was all teeth coming at me!

Mine would lead them to the pantry to where his treats are and once fed he would let them have want they want as well with a wagging tail before he falls asleep.
