Say Hi to Marty
Golden Retriever, 9 Months old
My favourite thing about Marty is...
His huge smile when he's happy. How he uses his paw to hold my hand when he's getting fuss and how he vocalises his happiness when we come downstairs in the mornings.
The biggest challenge with Marty is...
How much he pulls on his lead to try desperately to say hello to everyone he meets on his daily walks.
The most surprising thing about owning a Golden Retriever is...
How loving they are, for a large dog he loves cuddles and falls asleep on my lap. How he follows us room to room as he loves company so much.
What I wish I’d known about Golden Retrievers is...
How much hair they shred, and how often I would have to hoover!!!! Oh and how motivated by the smallest bit of food they are.
