[nagdu] Male goldens

[Tracy Carcione]

You know Raven, you might have something there, though one has to be careful 
with sweeping generalizations.  But I've known a few male goldens, and most 
of them have been calm, serious, and very conscientious in their work.  I've 
only met a couple wild male goldens.  I wouldn't mind a bit having one of 
the calm ones.
I couldn't say if male labs are quieter than females.  I've had quiet and 
energetic in both sexes.
