Andy - I also have a golden retriever.... could you be any more American than that????

My wife has literally ALWAYS wanted one of these. Our head of animal control at work has a friend that had 2 female puppies left from purebred parents. They were $600 each or free for law enforcement. Hard to pass up that kinda deal when I get it for free.

The female we picked is the bigger of the two. Her paws are huge. She's got a more mild demeanor than the other also, so hopefully she won't tear up too much in the house.

Should make a great family dog and companion for the retriever.

I didn't realize it was a breed of dog. I was afraid you were going to tell us your wife had some incurable disease, or worse, describe--in detail--some sexual position the two of you had invented.

Good luck Tbro........

I hope someone in your family stays home all day to watch him.

My friend had one and it was NUTS and ate EVERY(and I mean EVERY) piece of furniture to shreds while he was away at work during the day. He would crap fabric and foam stuffing.

He really liked drapery the best.

These dogs are cool but are known to trash houses when unattended.

I have had 2 Rhoadies

Great Dogs.

Take a lot of time when young. Faithful, Protective, and very smart. And when I say protective, they can and will take it to extreme. Better get control when young, or you will have legal problems. They hate raised voices.

#16 HEY DAVE, WHAT ARE THEIR NAMES???

Oops...sorry. My bad. Spray a little Bactine on those puncture wounds so they don't get infected.
