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.

I’m going to try to post a daily dog photo for 2010. (Umm. I know I’m about 18 days late starting. Somehow, the month got away from me!) Today’s photo of Betsy and her boy shows the curious and energetic nature of the Boston Terrier. In my experience, these dogs are quite rambunctious and may knock small children over in their excitement, but have sweet dispositions.
