About six years ago I decided I wanted a Golden Retriever. Wanting to do the socially responsible thing, I contacted every rescue operation within a few hours drive of me. A couple of the things I found out -- Goldens are very popular AND they had a significant "return rate." Goldens are in the list of top 10 shedding dog breeds. People see these beautiful animals and say "yes." A few weeks later when their house is completely covered in "golden fibers" they have a change of heart. What the rescue groups now do is make any potential adopter sign a detailed statement that they fully understand and ACCEPT that Goldens shed a lot. It cut down on the return rate.

Maybe Ford should require a similar signed statement from those buying soft or hard tops. It might say, "Understanding that the top on my Bronco is removable, my expectations regarding rattles, water leaks, snow incursion, etc will be realistic. I will not hold my Bronco's removable top to sedan standards."

Oh, and Dusty and I are starting the fifth year of sharing a house. The sign on our door says, "Caution, Golden Retriever lives here -- bring your own lint roller."

Some folks on B6G have proven that they don’t have enough common sense to own a Bronco or a Golden Retriever

This post is wonderful!! Fellow golden owner. And yes, she sheds A LOT! We have a Dyson vacuum and use it almost every day and of course you could make a few dogs from all the fur we suck up. That’s part of the joy of having a golden!

Here’s our 3 year pup, Luna.

I’m sorry I forgot the point of this post about halfway in talking about our golden.

bonus, her bronco shades

With twins, the fur tumbleweeds in the house after two days is impressive. Our dyson vac gets a heck of a workout every other day. We've had goldens for 28 years and they are the best dogs ever. They are looking forward to top off cruising.

I have a golden retriever and a pug, that pug hair is sooo much worse lol.
Also this might be my favorite thread so far! I went with a badlands so the dog hair wouldn't be an issue lol

Stick your face out the window at your own peril!

Here my miniature golden retriever. Doesn't really look like a retriever and doesn't act like one. But I'm sure he will enjoy the Bronco. He's going on 13 years in April.

I’ll have to agree with you! Definitely the best thread so far. It’s great seeing that people take their dogs everywhere just my wife and I do. Plus I always enjoy seeing a golden. Makes me think of this meme with Chris Pratt seeing a golden for the first time and the 12537th time and it’s his same surprised face.

Your golden looks identical to one my Mom had that passed away last year from old age. She was a good girl, her name was Dixie. We all LOVED her.

The Bronco, like everything in my life, belongs to the dogs. They occasionally have me chauffeur them around in it.

Thank you for adopting instead of buying from a breeder. So many dogs cats need good homes (I host an annual charity event to help place shelter animals).
