Golden Retrievers: Feared or Loved?

[CagneyDog]

I like them but I've met many that have had some dog agression issues. I think i recall reading somewhere that this is common in female Golden, though?

I can easily see how they, like labs, could be feared. They are being bred by people who just don't care and/or just don't know what they are doing too much nowadays

I didn't vote as I don't love or fear them. I like them, but I'd never own one for various reasons. I can see why some people fear them aswell, and it all goes back to puppy mills and BYBs. I've met so many aggressive Goldens & Labs and they were most likely all from places like those.

They aren't my favorite breeder, nor do I fear them.


They, like every other dog in the world, have ever tendency to be aggressive.

umh... breeder Kay?
I quite like Golden Retrievers... eventhough I know it's not always the case, all of the golden I've met are quite nice and friendly
