Hi guys,
So my girlfriend has decided she wants to get a dog. We are outdoor people, she has horses and I enjoy mountain biking so we are looking for a relatively active dog. I quite like the sound of a golden retriever as I like the sound of there personality and they are stunning!
However, we have a small house and a small garden would this be ok? It would be regularly walked because me and my partner work opposite shifts and the maximum the dog would be left on its own would be maybe 3 hours. It would have the cat for company though! Lol. Any longer than 3 hours and I would take it to my parents or have my parents pop in.
Also we are the type who would take it everywhere we were going (within reason)
Basically my question is whether or a not a retriever would be suitable?
Cheers
Craig
