Lab vs Golden?

[leighdu]

I grew up with a Lab, and now own a Golden. In my experience, both are extremely smart and loyal family dogs. However, I prefer the Goldens because as mentioned a few times before, the hair shedding is not quite as bad as the Labs. Also, I love their golden curls and long hair. Either way though, both are wonderful and you can't really go wrong with either.

Actually,I do not own any of the two breeds,but I can only see my neighbors dog.My best friend has a lab but bars very exessively.If i will compare the two,I will give two paws up for the Golden!

My brother in law has owned 4 labs, 2 are still with him. The other two both died of heart attacks in old age (R.I.P. Jigs & Skittles) so I am thinking the breed may be more prone to heart problems than other breeds. They are indeed very active dogs & are extremely energetic. They seem to mellow out a bit around 4 yrs old or so. They are smart but require a lot of exercise & obedience training to keep them busy & out of trouble.
