10 Reasons Why Golden Retrievers are Such Awesome Pets

1. They’re Simply Beautiful!

One of the top reasons for anybody choosing a particular breed of dog over others for a pet is their looks. And Golden Retrievers score very highly in the beauty stakes!
From their soulful, piercing brown eyes, to their wise looking but always friendly face. But of course more than anything, their flowing, strikingly golden coat.
Nobody can deny the stand out beauty of golden retrievers. They look good on the arm of any human suitor!

2. They Love Us No Matter What

Golden retrievers seem to have an almost infinite capacity for love. There’s no doubt that your dog loves you, as they show it in everything they do, from greeting you at the door to sitting at your feet to cheering you up when you feel sad. But, goldens don’t just show love for their own families, they’re happy to share out the love to anyone and everyone they meet.

3. They Give Us Comfort

Having a golden retriever is like having your own personal therapist on call 24 hours a day. These intuitive dogs seem to know when you’re upset and need a hairy hug. They’re even better to talk to than a human friend (unless you need advice), because they won’t mind if you talk about your problems for hours on end. There’s nothing more comforting than knowing that you’ve got a wonderful fourlegged friend to come home to and share your troubles with.

4. They Make Us Laugh

Nondog people might think it strange when you say your dog is funny, but golden retrievers really do make their people laugh, and isn’t that the definition of being funny? Of course, they’re not cracking jokes or making witty and astute political commentaries, but they bring fun and laughter into our lives, whether they’re zooming around the house like nobody’s business or trying desperately to fit five toys in their mouth in one go.

5. They’re Brave

While goldens aren’t usually the top of the list when you think of brave dog breeds, they’re so loyal and loving to their humans they’ll go the extra mile to protect them from harm.

6. They’re The Most Enthusiastic People We Know

If humans acted like golden retrievers do, it would be a strange world indeed! Members of this breed are so enthusiastic about everyone they meet, everywhere they go, and everything they see and do that it would almost be annoying if it wasn’t so endearing. In fact, their enthusiasm for life, the universe and everything is contagious, so spend time with a golden and you’ll soon start to become one of those cheery glasshalffull people!

7. They Exude Confidence

Confidence can be a hard trait for humans to come by, but you can’t say the same for golden retrievers! In fact, these dogs are famed for their friendliness and easygoing personalities, which means they tend to be calm and confident in all kinds of situations.

8. They’re Extremely Gentle

Golden retrievers are big dogs, and they’re certainly full of energy, but they also tend to be extremely gentle. These dogs are one of the few breeds to historically have been selectively bred for temperament over looks, and many breed standards include the fact that goldens should have a sweet and gentle temperament. As such, these pups are among the best family pets around.

9. They Define Loyalty

Although golden retrievers are friends to everyone (and, let’s face it, you wouldn’t have it any other way), they’re still amazingly loyal to their families, and will always put you first. There’s nothing that your fourlegged friend wouldn’t do for you. You just can’t buy that kind of loyalty.

10. They’re Great as Friends

They say a man’s (or woman’s) best friend is their dog, and this is undoubtedly true with a golden retriever. No other friend is available to you whenever you want to hang out, always wants to do whatever you’re doing, never mocks you or tells you that thing you’re excited about is a bad idea. Who needs human friends when you’ve got a dog on your side?!
