Yay! lol
*ahem*
I have a 1 year and 8 month old Golden Retriever named Daisy.
She is GREAT with my Cockatiel, Piper. We introduced him into the family a few months ago, and so far everythings gone well!
Daisy is VERY mellow. When it comes to playing outside, or inside. I guess she's not your typical Golden Retriever.
I personally, prefer the lighter ones. Daisy is right in the middle, and I'm happy with that. It depends on the breeders. Some like them really red, and some like them very light.
I payed $600 for Daisy. Reasonable price, I think. Just don't EVER buy from a pet store. Those dogs are horribly priced, and come from puppy mills. (VERY bad places.) The reason RESPONSIBLE breeders charge that much for one of their pups, is that want to make you can financially provide for the dog. Make sure both parents are vet checked, and have certain health clearences. ESSPECIALLY for their hips, as they are prone to hip dysplasia.
I think with enough attention and exercise, apartment life would be fine. I live in a house with a good size backyard, but I'm sure that would be exceptable.
Daisy is my baby, always has been, always will be. She bonded to all my family members but we have a stronger bond.I saw her first, and was the one who brought her home. (along with my dad.) They most definatley are family dogs!
Also, you can always rescue a golden! They make EXCELLENT pets too, plus you save a life. They are also generally out of that "puppy stage", and let me tell you....Golden Retriever pups are VERY destructive.
Doggy stories?? Hmm...just tell me what you would like to know.
