Greetings from Polly
Golden Retriever, 11 years old
Polly
was adopted!
My favourite thing about Polly is...
She’s kind, gentle and funny.
The biggest challenge with Polly is...
She’s stubborn; if she doesn’t want to do something, she turns her back on me and pretends she hasn’t heard the command.
The most surprising thing about owning a Golden Retriever is...
She has an amazing sense of smell. She doesn’t shed half as much as I thought she would.
What I wish I’d known about Golden Retrievers is...
They are worriers, sometimes it’s mistaken for nervousness, but she is not nervous, but uncertain. Having had Labs for the last forty years, Polly is my first Goldie and I am converted!
Did you know?
The Golden Retriever is one of the most versatile breeds and they can be found doing all kinds of jobs including, disability assistance, guiding, search and rescue, working trials, obedience and agility.
