I hope there is some future in this dog! And she is only 10 months old!

What does your behaviorist say? You should be listening to them and not getting advice off the net. This will help you prevent conflicting advice. The behaviorist should be able to help this dog, especially since she is still a puppy. Work with them.

DO NOT BREED THIS DOG! I have bred my Golden and can tell you the amount of time it takes to research lines and getting health clearances is very time consuming and costly. You don't just have to search your dogs lines, but you need to check the other dogs lines too. All that is considering your dog has all the genetic making to be a contribution to the breed. From everything you have posted about this particular dog, the temperament is not what you would want to pass along to off spring. That may be a disappointment to you but it is a reality you should face.

I wanted to use my male as a stud dog and he has everything to make a great contribution to the Golden breed but he has allergies so I won't even consider it. Allergies are something that can be controlled with medications but why would I want someone to deal with that when it isn't necessary. There are many other dogs out there who don't need meds. Disappointing? Yes, but I'll get over it. It is the right thing to do as a responsible dog owner and breeder.
