Golden Retrievers are gentle and loving dogs.
The Golden Retriever dog breed is a fun, loving and gentle dog when it's treated right but if you mistreat the Golden Retriever then they could be mean back to you.
However if you treat the Golden Retriever with love and respect and show them love then the Golden Retriever will show love and respect and fun back to you.
I've had Golden Retrievers as a kid for a pet and they were very good dogs.
The Golden Retriever also loves to sleep with you most times which is what mine did.
I had a Golden Retriever that loved to sleep in the bed next to me and when I went camping as a kid the Golden Retriever also slept next to me in the tent.
