Culture is the spice in all our lives
Who are we without culture? I mean seriously, my Golden Retrievers even have culture. I mean when you think Golden Retriever, you think fluffy, smiley, kid-friendly dogs who should have shares in Meta pro-rata to their reels on Instagram. What doesn’t come to mind when you think of this breed is equally as important. You don’t think, yeah “I need tough looking Golden Retriever to protect my property!” The only thing a Goldie is guarding is they’re collection of smelly socks. I mean, of course I don’t want to stereotype any Golden Retrievers out there that may have German Shepherd like aspirations…..
