He's about a year and a half old. A friend who's a dog breeder recommended that we get a Golden because they are supposed to be low maintenance rugs for the most part. We got him when he was about 6 months old and assumed that when he hit a year he would start to mellow out a little. Found out later that Goldens stay "puppy like" for 2 to 3 years and then mellow. Another year and a half and he should be fine. We needed a bigger dog cuz the two cats (brothers) hate dogs and will actually work as a team to get him. Dog is scared to death of the cats! The cats will hide at doorways and wait for the dog to walk through and then jump on him from both sides or one will stand just past the doorway and coax the dog through and the other will be waiting and jump on him. It's funny and sad at the same time. I wish they would just get along.
