With their bright and bouncy demeanor, it’s hard to believe that the Golden Retriever was originally bred as a finely-honed gun dog. Today, they are rather better known for their loyal and faithful temperament, that lovely lolloping stride, and their glorious golden coat. The Golden Retriever also has a playful, puppyish side to their personality, even as an adult.

That said, they do retain some of the qualities from their former hunting days. Known for their great sporting and working prowess, Golden Retrievers have excellent tracking abilities. As such, they are often utilized by search-and-rescue teams in the hunt for missing people. At the same time, their gentle temperament makes them ideal as guide dogs for blind or visually impaired persons. They make good therapy dogs too.
