@Natalie no way. A non retrieving Golden. My Buddy is 2 now and lives to retrieve. I have taught him to stay on the garden paths, that being said if a ball should happen to fly over the daylily beds it game on. Take no prisoners. If I am weeding from a chair he is usually under it waiting for playtime.
@floota yes yes Julie to garden maps! I only keep them for the daylilies but they have proven invaluable.
Dorothy good luck, this too shall pass.
PS yes to pup pictures!
