What is life with Golden Retrievers like? Because of their personalities, quite good if you are willing and able to properly care for your Golden Retriever. The puppies are notorious for being hyperactive and more than a handful so don’t get a puppy if you can’t handle the mess and the time needed to properly train them. This is one breed where it is definitely an advantage to adopt an adult from a rescue center rather than get a puppy.
This shows the big contrast between Golden Retriever temperaments and the temperaments of most other dog breeds. Although every dog is an individual, for the most part Golden Retrievers are calm, trainable and submissive.
