Golden retriever dogs originally developed to retrieve downed fowl during hunting. Because of their friendly nature, they are popular as family dogs. They require attention, regular exercise, a balanced diet, and regular veterinary check-ups.
Golden Retrievers are particularly valued for their high level of sociability towards people and willingness to learn. Because of this, they are commonly used as guide dogs and search and rescue dogs. Golden retriever dogs fit well in active households in suburban or rural homes.
