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.

He is still very wild to this day. Lol he still acts like a puppy and rolls around on his back and wants to give you his paws to play with. So I can attest to those few wild ones.
