ah your so lucky!! nothing better than a squishable, loveable lab..but then again i am a little partial...I have worked with both golden's and labs..i find them easy to train, quick to make you laugh, worthy of your trust..as puppies they are great chewers, and need loads of exercise..for about the first two years they are very very active, then they settle down and you will wonder how u ever lived without them. They steal your heart and you don't mind a bit!
