Strange thing. Just today Gypsy suggested that I get another dog. Those goldens are a good choice. My chocolate has shorter, easier to care for fur though. Out here in the boonies, I refuse to have another long-haired dog.
Burdocks and sticky weed seeds were constant visitors to the house with my springer spaniel (mix) and Irish Setters. I didn't appreciate short hair until Cee Cee came to stay.
