| "So you can compare!" |
You should also consider the five other retrievers. They all make great companions -- but they're all different!
For example:
If you're considering a Golden Retriever...
The Labrador is often more conservative with strangers, and a bit more stubborn.
The Nova Scotia Duck Toller is more energetic and inquisitive, and can be demanding.
The Flat-Coat is more of a working dog and needs more exercise.
The Chesapeake Bay is more dominant and serious, and "tougher-minded".
The Curly-Coat is more discriminating with strangers and needs more socialization.
