Yes yes yes! I had a sweet and very funny Golden on loan from GOD-D for fourteen years. She was just as you described your Lab. LOL.
Not as birdy or as persistent in the field as Labs, but wonderful "gentleman's gun dogs".
Have you seen the thing going around the internet about the difference between Goldens and Labs?
And she and the Evil World of Squirrs (we dropped the last syllable for speed in shouting it out for squirrel “alert” purposes,) were ALWAYS doing battle and pranking each other and providing entertainment.
