[nagdu] Male goldens

[Danielle Burton]

I have a yellow lab and she has a wild streak in her. She's calm in harness but when the harness goes off she is a pure bundle of energy. She also is a little impulsive too but I can't say much because I am that way a bit myself. I have found it amazing how they pick the dogs for us to match our personalities. My friends all say that Willa is me in dog form.

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.
