Goldens can be very energetic so kids will enjoy playing with them and vice versa. They can also be calm at times where they need to be while using their intelligence to solve problems.
Although they are the most popular dog breed, they can tend to make not smart coices when growing up. Also, they also eat a lot of food because they are relatively big dogs. They can also take up alot of space and be hard to transport.
A golden retriever may just be the best dog for you if you can get over the downsides. They are overall a good helper, a good friend, and a good sized dog for most people. Overall the golden retriever is a very solid dog choice.
