yours also??
same lor..
really a pig sleeping..
i keep wandering is she a pig before reborn into a dog??

When i first got him even worst, he would play for 20 mins then go sleep, when he sleep i can turn him around, play with his paws, mouth and etc without him waking up
I havent seen dogs sleep like that no wonder ppl says GR are no good as a guard dog

mayb when small la..
goldie ok la..
able to guard the house..
but i scare 1 thing only..
stranger with bread she do not bark at all..
sit some more..

i test her.. my cousin.. she never see before wan..
1st time see goldie..
take out a piece of bread in front of goldie..
straight away stop barking and sit in front of her waiting for the bread..
scare real thief she also allow to come in..

My barney is friendly with everyone he'll wag his tail with whoever he sees and gets overly excited when he sees children
GRs are not suppose to be guard dogs, just let him be la after all if we want guard dogs we wouldnt even consider a GR

My GR at hometown has got the same name as your GR
My goldie at hometown also same, got stranger come he'll lie down and ask for a belly scratch
Imagine if a thief comes in, he'll be asking the thief to give him belly scratch

wow.. that is too friendly..
hmm.. i know GR can be a police dog..
it duty is to find privated cd..

but goldie just sleep eat.. barks at dog.. not strangers..

Shushu is same as keithkeat one - I seldom see him sleep when there is anybody around. He will be busy trying to follow and keep a eye on everybody.
Even if he is sleeping, the moment he hears a sound he will open his eyes. It is very very hard to catch him sleeping. Everytime we come down from upstairs, he is already at the bottom of the stairs waiting for you. Don't know why but he has been very alert since his puppy days.
As such, he is actually a good guard dog.

If on rare occasion that i find him sleeping, he didn't snore so far.

Compare with kero, kero can sleep anytime and everywhere. And he snores very loudly for such a small size dog!

Yeah he is overly friendly, but then i really dont mind, cuz if i wanted a good guard dog it'll be a rott, shepard or chow.

Err sniff vcd is lab ?
Havent seen any GR in porn dvd sniffing operations woh

My dog dont even bark at dogs
Other dogs bark at him he just ignores them
Strangers he will wag his tail
Sometimes i wonder whether barney consider himself a dog or a human

Added on March 28, 2008, 5:01 pmMebbe your Shushu is play deprived ?
He gets his morning and evening walk everyday and most of the time he'll be tired, he'll sit like a roast pig watching me doing my stuff but as a puppy he does have his fair share of playfulness and naugtiness e.g nipping, jumping and i'd correct him straight away
As he is a large breed dog, its not fun to see a large breed overly excited dog jumping on some small kid or nipping away at them

hahaha......that a lot of interesting sleeping story........

my gr seldom bark on incoming person, but he will follow the lab when, she is bark.......and both start busy at the door step liao........the lab cont bark, and the gr jump here & there, even to people body

no cert. a gift from my brother's friend telling us it's a GR. wow free GR of course quickly maulah but now don't mau also cannot already

mine when saw any strangers especially the mr sampah man he'll jump on one spot & bark like hell very good guard dog it seems but when someone wear a motor helmet came into my house he terkencing pulak

erm.. i saw once..
really GR, smell where is the vcd..
forget when liou.. but is a police dog demo..
can smell vcd, drug..

Ahh no wonder, cant complain much since its free
If its with MKA cert and all then its a problem already, still its hard for an owner to let go of their dog once they bonded with the dog

emm.....too be honest..........lab is slightly smarted than golden........
correct me if wrong.......

Yes i can say Lab is Smarter than GR..
like Ben now almost 15 month still running hooping play like a small puppy and he cannot stand in 3 leg to urine... if he do 3 leg stand he will like falling tower..
Ben good guard dog barking when ppls outside when the person enter the gate he will stand up 2 led grab you very happy greeting you like dancing... hahahahah

I think so too saw in some poll some where saying labs are slightly smarter than GRs

Ben's color is really nice
I was at MV today and saw a few GRs as well

bigben.........how many year for ur's gr????

I've posted some pictures a while back. I'm a big fan of golden retrievers. Here are mine (refer to first picture) - from left, Hunter the gentleman (6 yrs +), Muffin the princess (3 yrs +) and Sheriff the brat (2 yrs +). My friends say it's crazy to tell them apart, but I'm sure the retriever lovers here can easily tell who's who from the picture!

Sure miss them a lot since I left Malaysia.

PS: Muffin is a retriever mix.

Wow, you have got some nice looking GRs

Btw are they all neutrered?
How do you keep males and females together?

Ben is a smart dog quick learner but abit lazy...... He just 15 month.
Tot of bring Ben to MV for a walk last week... but is troublesome because cannot bring him to shopping area to have lunch together so didn't bring him along.
Saw a nice GR name Raphal if i not mistake the name.. wonder he on this GR thread.

I bring shushu for morning walk everyday, but he still has tons of energy left.
There is one time we brought him go swimming in KKB, he did sleep in the car on the journey back but the moment he reach home, he is already recharged. I really don't know where he got all his energy from.
My vet said shushu is one of the most playful dog he has ever seen. I hope his playfulness will tone down when he gets older.

hehe...actually golden still tops lab.

Per poll,
1st = border collie
2nd = poodle
3rd = german shepherd
4th = golden retriever
5th = doberman
6th = shetland sheepdog
7th = labrador retriever
8th = papillon
9th = rottweiler
10th = australian cattle dog

Thanks for sharing the pictures! Hunter has more whitish fur on his head and big twinkling eyes. Muffin size is the smallest and slighty shorter fur and sheriff has darker fur, correct?
I really love Hunter's eyes!! It twinkles and look very kind and gentle.
Btw, muffin doesn't look like a retriever mix though.

You must be missing them a lot now.

ok ben, the signature pic is bigben???LOL.......just curious........

wah wah wah......there's a nice pet......
