When your Service Dog isn't vested, and allowed to be a 'dog' at a dog friendly event, but people still ask if she's a Service Dog based off of how she behaves.

A field line Golden Retriever is a working-bred dog selected for high athleticism, intense bird-retrieving drive, and stamina rather than appearance in the conformation show ring.

Key Characteristics

• Physical Build: Leaner, more athletic, and smaller than show lines—typically weighing 55 to 70 pounds and standing 20 to 24 inches tall.
• Coat: Shorter, thinner coats with less feathering and a lower grooming requirement; colors often range from dark gold to deep red (though color alone does not define a field line).
• Energy Level: Very high; they generally require 1.5 to 3 hours of daily vigorous exercise, running, or swimming, plus mental stimulation.
• Temperament: Eager to please, highly trainable, and driven in the field, yet they possess a natural "off-switch" that allows them to settle quietly inside the house.
• Lifespan: Average of 12 to 14 years. by @dragontaming

We constantly get thanks and compliments when we're off leash.
Why? Because everyone deserves to feel comfortable in public!

It's funny how Cash (retriever) could care less about the stranger and only watched me the entire time. by @dragontaming

I always say, take your dog everywhere you can!
Within their ability to be successful, of course.
Just taking your pups once a week when you get groceries is a fantastic way to get some more socialization time in. by @dragontaming

Just waiting for the opportunity..
Cats will absolutely self handicap and provide 'opportunities' to one another to facilitate play.
This does require a bit of boundary testing initially, but is absolutely fantastic for creating bonds within a cat household. by @dragontaming

You will NEVER achieve this level of trust, training etc with an Akita using punitive methods.
See the hundreds of 'professional' trainers that show their worst abuse with this breed.
If you see a trainer that ONLY shows and owns biddable breeds - breeds bred to work for a handler like Retrievers and Shepherds; they can easily get away with outdated and punitive methods.
Find a trainer that works with true guardian breeds and you will see real skill and education! by @dragontaming
