I was reading an article the other day on the effects of neutering early and it linked to an older article on the Golden Retriever Lifetime Study. I thought this bit was pretty funny and very true:
"But that is not the only reason the bouncy, amiable breed is the study’s focus. Goldens are the third-most popular dogs in the United States, which made it easier for researchers to find 3,000 subjects; they also tend to have besotted owners who pay close attention to their health — an important criteria for a project that demands years of owner commitment."
Glad to know it's normal to think your Golden is the best thing that ever happened. :grin2:
