Description:
Morgan is a precious little Retriever puppy, with a touch of, hmmm, Shepherd? What ever the mix, she has come together beautifully. She has all the love and enthusiasm you would expect in a pup. Such fun!!!

These little angels are terrific and love playing with each other all day. A word of advice ~ if you are considering adopting a puppy and don't already have a dog, please consider two. They don't have to both be puppies; you just really want to have another dog for a puppy to play with. If you saw how they romp all day, no way would you take one home and leave it there alone all day long while you were at work. The best dogs are those that have canine companionship and some training. OK, I'm off my soap box, but please consider it.

Foster update 11/17: Morgan is a ball of energy and very sweet! She does great with other dogs and kids! We are working on housetraining at the moment!

According to www.dogbreedinfo.com, the Golden Retriever was first developed in the British Isles, probably from crosses between a yellow Flat-Coated Retriever, light-coated Tweed Water Spaniels, other spaniels, setters and even the Newfoundland and possibly the Bloodhound. In fact the breed was first shown as a Golden Flat-Coat. The Golden is one of the world's foremost family companion dogs. Many of the top obedience competition dogs in the country are Golden retrievers. The Golden is also a fine bird dog on both land and in the water. He has an excellent nose and has been used not only for hunting and tracking, but also for narcotics detection. Because of his great desire to please and capacity for love and learning, the Golden Retriever is also used as a guide for the blind, therapy dog, and service dog for the disabled.
These are lovable, well-mannered, intelligent dogs with a great charm. They are easily trained, and always patient and gentle with children. Loyal, confident, sweet and eager to please. It is active, loving and an outstanding family dog. Golden Retrievers enjoy pleasing their masters, so obedience training can be fun. They excel in obedience competitions. Friendly with everyone, including other dogs, the Golden Retriever has very little, if any, guarding instincts. While unlikely to attack, Goldens make good watchdogs, loudly signaling a stranger's approach. This breed needs to be around people to be happy. If isolated from human contact, or left alone for long periods of time, the Golden Retriever may become mischievous. They can be over-exuberant and distractible. Some of the Golden's talents are hunting, tracking, retrieving, narcotics detection, agility, competitive obedience, and performing tricks. These dogs also love to swim. They have a life expectancy of 10-12 years.
