Golden Retriever's Stuffie-Muffled ‘Awoo' Is Still So Crisp and Clean
Golden Retrievers are very dramatic dogs. They're considered one of the best dog breeds ever, basically, but they're not easy by any means. To love one, you have to love drama and a little bit of an attitude problem.
There are moments that make it all worthwhile, though. For example, one Golden Retriever decided she needed to howl along with a fire truck... But she didn't want to drop her favorite stuffie. What ensued was just about the cutest thing you'll ever see in your life:

Millie the Red Golden Retriever is perfect in every way. Her red fur basically matches the firetruck she's howling after, so it makes sense that her strong howl blends in so well! Her mom couldn't have been prouder. She did so well at not dropping her stuffie!
Having a stuffed animal in her mouth might seem like it would muffle the sound of her howl, but it doesn't. Not at all! In fact, it almost sounds like it's much cleaner and louder than when she howls without it.

When Millie and her sibling aren't busy howling with the firetrucks, they're typically causing chaos elsewhere. Millie just recently learned that she can blow bubbles, and she's taking full advantage of her new knowledge:

This is what life with two Golden Retrievers is really like. I can't stop laughing. It's just total chaos: snout fully under the water, another dog rolling around in the dirt. Giving a Golden Retriever a bath is not an easy task!
Golden Retrievers Can Be Loud
Golden Retrievers are awesome, super trainable dogs. However, they're also still dogs, and they're very expressive ones at that. These pups are notorious for their goofy personalities.
Golden Retrievers have several main vocalizations. If you want one, you'll need to familiarize yourself with them:
- Barking.
- Howling.
- Whining.
- Grumbling.
Most of the time, if your Golden is barking (especially if you've trained them in that area) or vocalizing, it's because they're trying to get your attention. Or, in Millie's case, she really wants to be a firetruck!
