Wow... The amount of misinformation in this thread is unbelievable. People will just spout out anything regardless if they know what they're talking about or not. This forum seems to be a horrible place for information.

This thread is 5 years old and has been dead and buried in the archives for just as long. And no, this forum is far from a horrible place for information. I have been a member of this forum for nearly a decade and there are many wonderful, knowledgeable breeders and owners on here, all of whom possess an extensive wealth of knowledge. I cannot even begin to tell you how much I have learned on this forum over the years. The amount of knowledge I have gained is more than I could have ever hoped for.

Of course, because like many here, you believe anything you read on the internet if it sounds good to you.

Just curious about why you keep coming on the forum if you feel that way?

No it is not. There is a Breed Standard for Golden Retrievers- a male in good working condition should weigh between 65-75. Much over that is too much. That's not internet, it is the document that governs correct conformation.
I'm guessing your dog is one of those 100 pounders since you seem defensive. If so, your dog is outside the standard and not correct. If I recall, your dog was one so out of control at a young age that you wanted to ship him off to someone to train for you because OB training was a waste of your time. How's that going?

Excuse me??? Why are you even still here if you feel that this forum is such a horrible place filled with erroneous information??? You are judging this forum based on JUST ONE out of the MILLIONS of threads on here, which is quite pathetic and exceedingly close-minded. You clearly are brand new here and have not even perused through a fraction of the threads on here that offer a plethora of excellent information. I am starting to think that you are just a troll with nothing better to do, especially considering the fact that you resurrected a thread from 5 years ago.

Just as a little FYI since you think you know me, I do NOT believe everything on the internet just because it "sounds good." You do not know anything about me or my level of experience with this breed or dogs in general, nor do you know anyone else on here. I have met so many wonderful, KNOWLEDGABLE people, including many very well-respected breeders, on this forum throughout my 10 years on here and have learned FAR more than I ever would have had I not discovered this forum 10 years ago when were getting ready to bring our first Golden home. We have many longtime members on this forum, some who have been here for well over a decade. Do you think any of us would have stuck around all these years if this forum was useless? I highly suggest that you take the time to browse through some of the topics and threads on here and you will very quickly find what a great wealth of information this place offers.

Ugh...I just saw that thread. Yeah, obedience training is a real waste. What a piece of work! :uhoh:

He's trolling.

Just in general based on this person's repeated comments on people offering misinformation and repeating stuff they've heard online, just throwing this out there:

There's a lot of us who are not just involved with dogs online. We live/breathe dogs in real life too. What we own, believe, do, love in "real life" is what leaks over into what we share or comment on online. It is not just a matter of people echoing things they've heard online. Many of us really do know and love this breed through a lifetime of experience and care ourselves. We are committed to standing up for the breed, proper care of the breed, getting people to take better care of their dogs, and encouraging people to be better owners.
