[nagdu] Male goldens

[Tracy Carcione]

I have known any number of calm labs, both male and female.  Most guide labs 
are pretty mellow, in my experience, at least from TSE and GDB.  My Echo had 
a little wild streak in her, but it was easily damped down, and gave her a 
certain toughness to deal with the Big City.  But I used to call her my 
gold3en in disguise, as mostly she was very soft and sensitive.
