Hi GoldenAngel,

You said that you were "about to get a Golden Retriever puppy." Can I ask where you are getting your puppy from? Please, at ALL COSTS, avoid buying from pet stores and from people who advertise selling dogs in the newspaper. Instead, I'd highly suggest either finding a responsible Golden Retriever breeder or adopting from a rescue or a shelter.

I hope you have researched the Golden Retriever breed to a full degree.. they are great dogs, but they are not for everyone.
