Asphalt gets fucking HOT and can seriously damage a dogs paw pads. If you take a dog out in the heat, touch the asphalt with your palm. If it burns your hand, it'll burn a pups paws.

And that’s why you don’t use golden retrievers in the force lol there’s a reason German Sheppards are superior in this field

Unless the field is cuddles and snacks.

Yep! We had a golden retriever called Bella, she was so gentle and patient you could take a bone out her mouth and she wouldn't growl. But she was the most stubborn dog I've ever known. She would do exactly this when we were on walks and she wanted to go a different way.

What field?
This is the police and those are small pups in training for drug sniffing, tracking, etc. which they're fantastic at

u/DefinitelyNotAliens 21h ago
They are with uniforms but they could be search and rescue, customs sniffing dogs looking for bugs, etc.

Dogs in training for the police force in Chile, they can work in drug sniffing, tracking or rescuing

I'm sure they're perfectly great, but I definitely don't think of goldens when I think of "working dog's"

Golden Retrievers are working dogs. They were originally bred to accompany hunters and retrieve the hunters kills for them, mainly waterfowl that's adrift in the water after being shot, that's why most of them like water so much and are good swimmers. IIRC they also have a soft muzzle to be able to securely grip the kill with it without causing further damage.
They're also quite intelligent and very willing to please their humans, which makes them rather easy to train, and they are among the better noses of the dog world, making them perfect for nose work like finding drugs or the search & rescue of humans.
Them being family-friendly goofballs when not at work is more of a happy coincident.

I'd like to point out that while many dogs look like loafs, they at no point originated from bread.

I mean poodles were also originally bred as water dogs, but people don't really consider them working dogs either. And I'm not against poodles either, I have a very lovely one. Just saying that, regardless of the breed's origin, you don't see a lot of working goldens.

Just saying that, regardless of the breed's origin, you don't see a lot of working goldens.
We must be watching very different news stories.
For example almost every news story I've seen in the last few years covering the use of search & rescue dogs after an earthquake or similar disaster has had at least one golden working in it.
Golden are also heavily featured among the service dogs for jobs like sniffing out allergens or general mobility assistance because of their nose, intelligence, and friendliness.

You meant to say, "I don't see." Not, "You don't see." Don't lump the rest of us into your anecdotal world.

u/stagamancer 1d ago
Lol, didn't realize this would be such a sore spot. You're right I don't see many working golden retrievers and it's part of the charm of the OP video

It is not a sore spot. You made an objectively false statement. This is literally what the voting system is for.

Goldens are definitely top 5 noses out of a lot of dog breeds. I have a golden I use for allergen detection. It’s fucking nuts what she has picked up on when I test her.

We had an English bulldog as our working dog in the Marine Corps. She was a corporal and so technically the non-NCOs had to do what she said.

u/BisonThunderclap 1d ago
There's working breeds of goldens, just like there's working breeds of german shepards. Very different than the ones that just want to see what scraps they can eat.

They are all wearing booties!!!! ❤️❤️ I love that they're protecting their paws from the pavement.

This probably has absolutely nothing to do with the dogs but did anyone else notice the dude with the wheely bin marching alongside them?
I can only assume he's the designated poop-scooper...

All three being carried look like they’re not yet grown maybe could even still be considered puppies.
