Wishing an incredible 9th birthday to Roxy! (Floden's A Night at the Roxbury) 🎉🎂💕

Here are some AKC FastCAT photos of Journey from May! Cindy wrote it’s super fun to have a variety of photographers as they each get different types of photos.

Journey, being super friendly, ran right towards the photographer and she got some amazing photos. On his first run of the weekend his owner saw him heading for the photographer and called out that he is friendly and no sooner had those words left her mouth, but Journey was in her lap!

On subsequent runs she got some amazing photos that she had not seen before. 🐾🐾🐾

Journey is a Bella x T-Rex son and will turn 8 years young this October! ♥️

Male Golden Retrievers

Pros
• Size & look: Larger, 65-75 lbs, fuller coat. That classic "fluffy bear" vibe • Personality: Usually goofy, extroverted, and openly affectionate • Training: Very food & praise motivated as puppies • Puppy stage: Stays playful and silly longer, often 3-4 years • Bonding: Tends to be a full-body "velcro dog" with the whole family

Cons
• Size & strength: Can accidentally knock over kids when excited • Marking: More likely to urine mark territory if not neutered • Maturity: Takes longer to mentally mature; adolescent phase lasts longer • Attention needs: Can be needier and less independent • Hu***ng: More prone to hu***ng behavior as adolescents

Female Golden Retrievers

Pros
• Size & manageability: Smaller, 55-65 lbs. Easier to handle and travel with • Maturity: Usually reaches emotional maturity faster, around age 2 • Training focus: Once past puppy stage, often less distractible during training • Independence: More content to entertain herself for short periods • Cleanliness: Rarely marks territory indoors

Cons
• Spay cost: Spay surgery is more expensive and invasive than neutering (recent studies now suggest never spaying golden retriever females due to health benefits of keeping hormones) • Heat cycles: If not spayed, has twice-yearly heat cycles with bleeding & mood changes • Temperament: Can be moodier or more selective with affection • Stubbornness: Sometimes called "queen bee" — may challenge you more during training • Resource guarding: Slightly higher tendency to guard toys/food

Big reminder: These are just averages. Your dog’s parents, socialization, and daily training impact temperament more than gender. Pick the puppy whose energy matches yours, not just the s*x.

My Google pics labeled this video wrong. None are Marley, but rather a prior Roxy litter! Loved the video though:

I think our grandson was more excited about the puppy toys than the pups! 🐾
