We have a 18 month old female golden. She is our first purebred. She is a character. When anyone comes she grabs the nearest toy and starts jumping, crying and wagging from nose to tail. This can be a bit annoying at times. Very smart. We raised chicks and turkeys this year and she thinks they are her babies. She packed the chicks around if they got out and washed them thoroughly. The turkeys, she would try to get them to play ball/ Needless to say they are all grown but remain hers.
