Excellent commentary about the scenting abilities of golden retrievers. (Skip to 5 mins 21 secs if the Youtube embed didn’t work.)
Goldens are great air scenting dogs.
They are also 20 times smarter than Labradors, but I’m a wee bit biased there.
I don’t have an empirical, peer-reviewed study that says that.
I don’t know what they mean that they aren’t very good at taking orders.
I’ve never met one that didn’t love to take orders and show off!
If you can’t get it to skip to 5 minutes and 21, there is a nice lurcher race at the beginning. Some of these lurchers look like golden retriever crosses. Golden retriever/greyhounds are the lurcher of choice in some areas.
