This is my dog Annie. My friends own her mother. She is supposed to be pure Golden Retriever but I am not sure. I think her mother looks especially funny for a Golden Retriever.I think she might have a little Hovawart in her. She has some Hovawart characteristics, according to what I have read. She holds her tail high and loosely curled when excited. When she was younger it looked a little like an Afghan Hound's tail when she held it up. Also she is not very friendly with strangers. She is not mean, but she tends to be reserved. I think her mom looks like a hovawart from the side, more than she looks like a Golden.
Also she runs differently than most Golden Retrievers. I noticed it when she and another Golden were running together. She tends to lift her feet more, to look a little more dainty, when she runs. Something about her face also soesn't strike me as Golden-like. She might be pure Golden, just a poor example, but there are a lot of Golden Retrievers around where I live and none of them except her family look like this. They all look very much more Golden-ish. What do you think?
