Golden Retriever

Golden Retrievers are the classic American family dogs. They are known for their warm and loving natures, and for having patience with children. The breed is also eager to please, which makes them a snap to train (an attribute that should be attractive for families with kids).

One caveat: Golden Retrievers’ famously beautiful coats do require vigilant grooming, but they are not actually difficult to groom. Frequent combing and brushing should do the trick.
