I'm not sure what the congratulations are for. The dog isn't for us. I'd be going for a rescue dog too if I ever wanted one.

Were there no golden retrievers around them where they live? I cannot imagine how expensive that is.

@JudyEv Which is probably a common thing for a lot of young couple.

@AmbiePam True. Their grandparents had a tough battle but have done incredibly well. The three sons all work in the business and the grandkids have grown up quite privileged. They are lovely kids and work hard themselves but they haven't wanted for much growing up.

I really don't know but you'd think there would have to be. They're a young couple but perhaps already have a bit more money than sense.

I hope the puppy arrives safely and in good health. I guess the ultrasound can go in Denzil's baby book.

@JudyEv I didn't know about mares either. Makes sense thiug. Some horses are very expensive.

I used to have a golden retriever before. However, he only lived for 8 years. He was so big and adorable.

@JudyEv I agree. Some people claimed that half breed dogs can live longer than the pure ones.

You are right Golden retrievers are lovely dogs, my niece had one, a female, named Winnie. She was a lovely but a bit dumb girl (the dog, not the niece).

They are really not smart, my husband used to look at Winnie and to tell her "you are really a dumb blonde".

@LadyDuck That was a clever comment. I think I saw one at dog trials once on YouTube but it might have been a Labrador. It was certainly a blonde! Anyway it wandered here and there on the course just trying to find something to eat!! It took absolutely no notice of its owner.

@JudyEv too expensive for my blood. Even if I have the cash to spare, I'd go the route of adopting strays. I mean, if someone wants to purchase from a breeder, by all means go. Just my personal preference.

Do you think so? They aren't seen as intelligent here but maybe they are so intelligent they know to pretend to be dumb.

They bought Denzil from a quality breeder, one day Denzil could be a stud unless they neuter him. I had a Golden once, she was awesome and I still think of her.

I should think they would neuter the dog. I'm actually not sure it's a male. Silly me! With a name like Denzil of course it's a male!!

@JudyEv Yes but the dogs are eating organic food from her garden and I think cooked chicken meat. No dog food that are bought in the store. Yes, they are lovely dogs.

My oldest son has a lovely Golden Retriever. She is well mannered and smart…honestly a person can get purebreds from a rescue, they get relinquished constantly, just like other dogs. The thing he most regrets is that Goldens often don’t live a long life,and they have a tendency towards hip displacement. His girl is 8 years now and gets shots monthly for her hips. She is doing a lot better. I hope your son’s new dog will be a part of his family. I’ve done a lot of rescue work over the years, there are often Goldens and all kinds of purebreds.

I would go for a rescue dog too. We don't know the couple that well and certainly didn't have any input into their choice but it's a shame they didn't check out the shelters.

@JudyEv I do prefer to raise from a puppy because of all the other critters I have here. But for many people the shelter is a great place

My daughter and son in law had a Golden Retriever when they got married and that dog was the most docile, loving dog, When they started their family and the babies were learning to crawl Charlie (thats the dog) accepted them climbing on him and then as they got older trying to ride him like a pony. He lived a long time and we all cried the day he went over the rainbow bridge. I hope your friends granddaughter gets a pup as loving as Charlie was. I hope he arrives safely after his flight from the states.

That's what I've heard about retrievers too. They are also really good with other animals and often 'mother' little orphans.

Being acquainted to a dog with any breed is always lovely to really pet them and have a playful bond. Hoping you soon meet the golden retriever, Indeed! It is really lovely and friendly.
