And he is Just very typical of the breed Happy-go-lucky Active outgoing it’s not that you don’t Have to do any work with these dogs They often have a temperament that’s Very conducive to families now i’m gonna Tell you this guys this is based on my Experience as a trainer i’ve trained Thousand plus dogs by now and usually When i’m getting dogs i want you guys to Keep in mind That i’m getting the dogs in their work At their worst right most people don’t Say hey let’s spend lots of money on dog Training because my dog is so well Behaved usually we’re getting the dogs When either they have a behavioral Problem or they have you know uh Obedience problems we’re not usually Getting dogs at their best so i get to See dogs at their worst and i get to see Them on a regular basis and i’m going to Tell you if you want a dog if you want To stack the odds in your favor of Getting something super easy to deal With hey linky link God jumbo boy come here I like him too he’s such a nice dog Right if you want to stack the odds in Your favor of having a positive and Relatively easy experience as dog Ownership dose golden retrievers the Best
Yellow lab chocolate lab black lab labs Are really good too now look i know some People are going to get upset with this They’re going to say well i saw i’ve Seen a lot of golden retrievers that Have issues listen i see golden Retrievers almost exclusively that have Issues their issues in comparison to all The other breeds that we deal with and We’ve pretty much dealt with literally Every breed Including chihuahuas we’ve dealt with Everything from great danes to Chihuahuas okay For sure the golden retriever and the Labrador retrievers have the least Amount of issues oh look he’s chasing a Butterfly like this is what i’m talking About you guys missed it you’re chasing A little yellow butterfly Anyway This this is the whole point is that Even at their worst they’re better than The other dogs okay in terms of ease of Dealing with the problem it’s so funny Whenever someone’s like oh i’ve got a Golden retriever and he’s so bad and Yeah yeah yeah okay bring them bring Them bring them bring them right we’re All we were just like so excited Everyone’s like hey we got a golden Retriever coming right there’s a reason For that we got a lab coming right and The reality is they’re just easier dogs
To deal with they’re very trainable They’re very social they’re they’re Happy go lucky they’re the perfect dog In my opinion for a family dog if you’re Not after you know a bit more of a Utility now i’m not saying listen i Personally guys i’m talking myself out Of business here i sell german shepherds Okay i sell belgian malwa i sell working Breeds and now that the gold retriever In the labs aren’t a working breed you Can get them field bred and those dogs Tend to have a lot more intensity and a Lot more drive i’m pretty sure link is a Show dog like he’s from show lines i Could be wrong i have to ask stephen But Even still even the field bred labs and The field bread goldens even that they Have a higher level of energy and Intensity they’re still easier to deal With than On average than most other dogs so You know look i get it if you have your For me that wasn’t my like as much as i Love the breed i love the goldens i love The labs for me what i want out of a dog Can only be given to me by dogs like the German shepherd by dogs like the belgian Malwa and so on and so forth but i still Would as somebody that trains a lot of Family dogs or somebody that deals with A lot of families um For me these are the easiest if you want
To kind of rate dogs as as user friendly These are generally the most User-friendly dogs yeah kind Yes these are generally the most User-friendly dogs um that you can get So in my opinion from a tr a Professional trainer that’s been Training dogs for many years um you know If i had to pick between a bad golden Retriever a bad uh you know kenacore so A bad german shepherd a bad malinois bad You know uh pit bull i’m picking the Golden retriever every single time right It is going to be an easier deal so That’s my little spiel on the best Family dog in my opinion the best the Absolute Best dogs for the family and it’s not Again guys don’t get offended if you Have a pit bull if you have a german Shepherd I sell a lot of german shepherds Personally right i sell a lot of malwats And a lot of them are wonderful family Dogs but they take a little more work up Front right and there are things that Come with the breed because they’re bred A specific way to do specific jobs that Make them a little bit more um work in Terms of turning them into the fantastic Family dog that you want them to be Right on average again we’re speaking in Broad generalities there’s always Exceptions to the rule
You know i’m for sure i’ve met you know A golden retriever or two that are just Horrendous family dogs in fact we have One in there That was the owner the owner was going To put the dog down and we actually one Of our trainers um half actually decided To adopt the dog and this golden Retriever is an absolute Ass okay like he will take advantage of You and not just like ass like he’ll Jump on you like he’ll actually hurt Somebody but it’s very very rare on Average like this gold retriever is like Literally probably the only one i’ve Seen that’s that that bad right the most Of them compared to the other breeds a Lot easier to deal with so guys I hope i didn’t offend anybody i’m just Giving you guys the truth from a from a Professional dog trainer’s perspective From someone that sees Every breed and have has actually Trained them not just seeing them train Them spent you know a lot of time Working with them and dealing with their Behavioral issues so on and so forth Golden retriever yellow lab chocolate Lab black lab That’s the way you want to go of course Look if you’re going to look at these Puppies make sure you pick a braider That has a good reputation that has dogs That are healthy and you know when you
