Koa the Golden Retriever
Golden Retrievers are the sporting group - the water dogs, they have webbed feet and a double water repellent coat, having a lake or beach or pool is a good idea if you plan on having a Golden Retriever as water keeps them happy and fit - also they have no problems taking walks in the rain with you! Water is one of their favorite pastimes besides tennis balls that is! This beautiful breed of dog has a coat that comes a variety of colors, some creamy almost white and some almost as red as an Irish Setter and then the truly Golden honey color or orange marmalade color. This breed makes a loyal companion and family pet and will give you many comical scenes throughout their lifetime. This breed is extremely intelligent and also known as the velcro dog cause they want to be around you all the time and shadow you from room to room just to get a chance to lay at your feet and be with you. They enjoy and must have daily walks/hikes as most all dogs require mental and psychical stimulation to keep from having boredom and bad behavior issues. Want a friendly social butterfly, want an easy to train dog, thinking of Search and Rescue or Therapy work with your dog? Get a Golden Retriever as part of your world!
