I did not know that until an American with a black Golden Retriever told me in my holidays. I was really surprised.

Might you be thinking (or, perhaps, was the American person you mention!) thinking of a Flatcoated Retriever? They look very similar to Golden Retrievers (and I think Golden Retrievers were originally bred from a similar dog to the Flatcoated), but are a separate breed :smile:

That was the breed I have seen. Very similar, and look as cute as a Golden Retriever. :h:

My lively Australian Shepherd keeps me on my toes with boundless energy. Chose this breed for their intelligence and agility. 🐾 What about your furry sidekick?

My family’s thinking of getting a god and don’t know what dog breed we should get. Any suggestions?

Don’t know if I’m too late for this, but I’d totally recommend getting a poochon. We have 3 in the family and they are all absolutely beautiful. They don’t shed, they love cuddles, are really friendly and love to play and go for walks as well.

I had Cane Corso. Unfortunately, she passed away a year ago. But it was a perfect dog for a family.

I know because I see an owner with this breed who takes a dog for walkies. I like the curly hair of this dog.

My family has a tradition of getting them! Had three so far, 2 still here with us, absolutely lovely dogs. But whenever someone asks what dog breed they are they have never heard of it, refreshing to see them recommended!

I thought that it is one of the most popular breed in Britain, but obviously I was wrong, if so many people don't even know the name.

When I was younger with my first Welshie they were on the watch list, luckily been moved off that now but the numbers are still so low despite being the oldest breed here
