The Golden Retriever is a breed that often is billed as a family friendly dog. While a grown up Golden is usually an excellent family dog, I don’t recommend getting a puppy if you have an infant or toddler. Older puppies are bubbly, clumsy critters and will bowl children over on a regular basis when they get carried away with their joy at being alive.
