This litter was bred by Djanick Michaud of Zomarick golden retrievers in Quebec.
You can really see the intelligence in their eyes!

Don’t allow any of them to be sold to a Guardian reader!
More evidence that the left is in need of a Stalin to carry out a purge:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2012/feb/01/what-is-an-ethical-vegan
“I’m often asked about veganism. It’s simple, I believe discrimination against species is as distasteful as any other kind”
LOL
I think these people came from the moon!
I’ve never met anyone like this in real life– except on university campuses!
Check this out: http://hoof-and-paw.blogspot.com/2012/01/what-about-roadkill.html
Don’t worry, they wouldn’t want one anyway… !
There are more ‘former’ vegans than practicing ones. Most people grow out of it.
“I went vegan for ethical, not dietary reasons. I do not think humans have the right to oppress or abuse other species simply because they are intellectually weaker.”
Then you should starve, you stupid bint. Plants communicate.
Cute pups.
LOL at “bint.” Your comment made my day. =D
Nice looking pups. But then, most golden pups are. Congrats to the owners.
Scotty, any comments on the NYT article about dogs (especially Goldens, labs, and GSDs) as service dogs for children with behavioral disabilities?
Is this an alternate future for working breeds?
Goldens, Labs, and GSD’s are going to be very common for the foreseeable future because they have a lot of different uses. They are not specialized dog breeds at all.
Didn’t see the article, but I just finished reading the book “The Golden Bridge”, which was written by a woman who raises Goldens specifically to be paired with children (mostly autistic). Very good read; she spells out clearly what her criteria are and what makes or does not make a good candidate for that specific job.
I respect Vegans in the same way I respect Teetotalers, Evangelicals, Seventh-Day-Adventists, Mormons and Creationists–I have friends of all 6 persuasions. If a Vegan chooses not to eat animal products then (s)he should be allowed to do so, w/o undue criticism. My attitude has always been live and let live.
But, unless you’re my doctor, don’t tell me what I should or shouldn’t eat! I eat meat: game; grass-feed beef, bison, lamb & elk; free range chicken & turkey; & farmed & wild-caught sea-food, as well as eggs, cheese and yoghurt.
Our domesticated critters have been developed over centuries, by people, for people to consume. Our dentition and digestive tracts have evolved to include a significant amount of animal protein–not soy beans (which are toxic in their raw state & retain hard to digest proteins, as do most legumes, even after processing), and not grains–in addition to fruit (including fermented fruit), tree nuts, green veggies, and tubers. If we were meant to be strictly herbivorous we’d look–and probably think and act–like gorillas. (BTW: gorillas have little time to contemplate the morality of being Vegan, as they’re much too busy ingesting huge quantities of low-nutrition vegetation to fuel their metabolisms.)
The problem is not that we eat meat, but rather that there’s just too many of us to be able to indefinitely sustain a meat-eating regimen. The answer lies not in changing to a vegetarian regimen, nor in converting all our remaining wild lands into dirt farms, but rather in curbing our own runaway fecundity.
(Damn, I’m venting again.)
Humans evolved to eat meat (or in other words, eating meat let us evolve): http://berkeley.edu/news/media/releases/99legacy/6-14-1999a.html
And not only that, but humans evolved to eat COOKED food instead of raw, in particular: http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/crux/2011/12/08/why-calorie-counts-are-wrong-cooked-food-provides-a-lot-more-energy/
Biological facts.
Yep, that big brain requires a lot of calories, thus requiring fuel-efficient food sources.
Those are some really adorable puppies. Such lovely colouration.
