Thanks everyone for all the nice things that you've said about our little girl.  I love to post pics, especially so I can see everyone's avatars.  I love all your doggies, they're all great shots!

Here she is, almost 6 months old now.  I can't believe she's already been with us for 4 months, although it seems like she was always here...  anyway, this is the closest that she can get to Oscar, our little "scaredy-cat".  They are getting along much better now.  And the pics of Maggie on the couch is where she always goes- it's her spot!

Those are good ideas, thanks.

I grew up with Goldens, and our dogs were always very well-behaved, except for one female, Bailey.  She was just not a nice dog.  I rarely run into aggressive or badly behaved Goldens, but it does happen. Just like with any other breed, there are always those few that don't fit the norm.  Maybe you just see so many Goldens that it seems like they are all like this, but you see all different of other breeds, so you can't group them together.  Do you know what I mean?  But I do agree, it is mostly the owner's fault.  Oh, and just to add this in:  one of my friend's students got bitten by a Golden just a few months back... but you never really know what happened to provoke...

He's so cute!  Does Cody do it too?  Big Teddy Bear!

Those look really nice.  How much is she asking?  Does she have a website, or other pics?  In a few months when Maggie's bigger I want something like that.  Let me know.

Angus does love my little Maggs, but so does everyone.  Even he can't keep up the bully crap with her around!
They had a great time yesterday, and she slept all car-ride home and straight through until this morning.  Those boys wore her out. lol.

OK...so we got Maggie from a breeder in Atlanta.  I talked to her, got a feel for her, and felt that she was a good breeder and knew what the he** she was doing.  I posted a few months ago that she had bred a harle to harle after Maggie's litter (Maggie's litter was a harle to mantle), and only had a litter of 3 live pups: a merle; an almost totally white female(but she can hear and see); and a totally white male that is deaf.  She should never have bred harle to harle.  Well, she has decided to keep the white female, and I saw today (on her website) that she plans to breed her when she's old enough!!! WTF???  Is she a total idiot or what?  Am I right, that you should never breed a dog with genetic defects?  An all-white dane is not normal to begin with, but then to turn around and use her for breeding???  What is wrong with people???
