I have had dogs most of my life. Two Goldens presently and my last was a German short-haired pointer. He was with us for 16 years. Great dogs. The Goldens are well trained excellent dogs. Lots of fur but lots of love. If your dogs love walks great. If they love swimming great. We can do that too. Or if the owner just wants their dog to have some company for a bit, that's great too.
