Yep, goldens r definatly on that list! Just by Labs! But, its so sad, Goldens and Labs are being s overbred these days, and hurting the breeds we love

BORDER COLLIES ARE THE BEST!!!

I'm glad to see that Rottweiler isn't on that list anymore.

There is always a downside to popularity. The labs and goldens are being so overbred and inbred that the gene pool is being weakened. I would rather have a dog that is NOT on that list. Although, I'm most partial to the Heinz 57 anyway.
