I must have been sleeping when I started this thread, that thought never even entered my mind, lol.

All of your (& your sisters') dogs are great, they're all such beautiful dogs - although I must say that my brother-in-law's Golden is the dumbest dog I've ever encountered

I didn't really mean to be discouraging, I was just trying to share some personal experience. I'm sorry if my post seemed too negative. Some people decide on a breed for the wrong reasons or get them without doing any research, and then can't handle what they get...which leads to the sad stories we hear too often. So it's great that you are NOT doing that!!

I've heard people say that Goldens can be dumb. We're lucky: ours is the smartest dog in the universe.

No, I don't think you were being negative at all - just realistic!

PS - congrats on getting a smart Golden!
