[quote=Anonymous]We have a golden retriever. Got her at 9 weeks when my kids were 9, 7 and 5. She slept through the night (never barked in the middle of the night. She stayed in our mudroom (no crate… I know they are popular, but I hate animals in cages). Not much accidents, but she did (still does) chew on everything. My kids play with her a lot, but don’t walk her alone much. We hike with her a lot and she is fine alone for long stretches of time. I work from home though, so she is never really alone. She is wonderful. Except for the shedding and chewing on things, she does not have any other issue. She is amazing with other people and dogs. She has also always been healthy (6 years old now) so no big vet expenses. She travels with us almost everywhere and our old nanny/cleaning lady takes her when we absolutely can’t take her with us. She is a huge source of joy, but in my experience nowhere near the same amount of work of another kids (not even when she was a puppy).[/quote]
