12 Reasons Why You Should Never Own Golden Retrievers

Published: Feb 11, 2022 by Karen Flores · This post may contain affiliate links

If you are planning to adopt a puppy, get any breed EXCEPT Golden Retrievers. We think they may very well be on the top list of the worst dogs ever.

This creature is a nightmare, they are terrifying, and we want to save you from making a horrific mistake.

To support this argument, we have decided to list 14 reasons why you should never own Golden Retrievers.

#1 From the moment they are born they are just terrifying…

#5 They’re a huge problem because they steal everything: your socks, your whole heart, etc.
