I've had 2 goldens before and am 4 days out from flying to pick up my golden puppy. Goldens are very interactive, what I mean by that is, my Doberman or my Border collie would be happy to sit across the room from me and watch what I'm doing, my goldens, are in the middle of what I'm doing, they want to do it with me, which makes them awesome in-home service dogs and which is why I'm getting another one.  They want to snuggle and for you to pet them and for everyone else to pet them and pleae tell them how stunning and smart and perfect they are.  A lot of people have had sound sensativity in their goldens but all of mine have come/are coming from pretty solid hunting field work lines so are pretty fearless.  And yes, their hair goes everywhere. Right now I have a lab and an amstaff mix and they shed but its short little hairs that stick everything.  Soon its going to be silky long hair added to the mix.
