[NAGDU] Golden Retriever Question

[Cindy Ray]

Golden Retrievers tend to have a lot of skin and allergy issues. They often
develop these hot spots which are systemic. I think they may be ear
infection prone, too. They are wonderful guides though; I think my really
best dog was a Golden Retriever, but I retired him too late. He would get to
panting even just walking down a hall. I didn't listen to him and he  (and
I) paid dearly for it.

I don't know about personality comparison, but my understanding of why more
Goldens aren't used as guides has to do with health issues.

I have a sort of random question, I don't know if anyone will have time to
answer!

I'm wondering what the traits are in purebred (versus Golden/Lab mixes)
Golden Retrievers that cause them to make up such a relatively small
percentage of the total number of working guide dogs?

Thank you!
