Could this be the perfect family pet? Well, considering that they are one of the lowest ranking barkers, and they don't have bad breath. That's a pretty good start. And what's this about an egg?
這是完美的家庭寵物嗎？嗯，考慮到它們是最少叫的狗狗之一，而且沒有口臭，那是很好的開始。那麼這個蛋怎麼了？
Amy Shojai: They have what's called a soft mouth. I've actually seen these dogs pick up two or three raw eggs in their mouth at a time without breaking them.

And there happens to be a guy you can thank for this happy beautiful pooch, and he's got a funny name: Lord Tweedmouth, or if you prefer his given name, Sir. Dudley Marjoribanks. An avid hunter, Lord Tweedmouth lived near the banks of Loch Ness, and it was there, where he developed the dog in the 1860s with the love for the water and the desire to retrieve. Well, the Tweedsters knock this one out of the park.
對於這隻漂亮的混種狗狗，你剛好可以感謝一個人，而他有個好笑的名字（姓）：Lord Tweedmouth，或是你喜歡他的本名（名），Sir Dudley Marjoribanks。身為一個熱衷的獵人，Lord Tweedmouth住在Loch Ness湖的岸旁，就在那邊，他在1860年代培育了這種愛水且喜愛銜回獵物的狗狗。嗯，這些黃金獵犬做得很好。
The American Kennel Club registered The Golden in 1925 and the breed flourished to the 30s and 40s, and has never lost its popularity. And if forbidding is your thing, look no further. They are rocking the good behavior hardwire.

Goldens are a big dog, measuring around twenty-two inches in height and an average weight of sixty-five pounds. They sport a dense water-repellent coat with a good undercoat and a rich shades of golden coloring. A puppy's coat is almost always lighter than what it will be when it's an adult. Looking at a puppy's ears is a good indication of what color it will be when it grows up.
黃金獵犬是一種大型狗，身高二十二英吋(約五十六公分)，平均體重六十五英磅(約三十公斤)。它們炫耀著濃密有下層絨毛的防水外套毛皮，以及濃密的金色。小狗的毛色幾乎總是要比成犬來得淡一些。檢視小狗的耳朵是它長大時將成為什麼毛色，很好的指標。
These dogs love to chew. Yup, it's that soft mouth again, bred to carry water fowl during the hunt. But sometimes it goes a little too far. Some bad reviews are taking a bite out of their reputation.
這些狗狗很愛咀嚼。是的，又談到那軟嘴巴，它生來就是為了在狩獵中銜回水禽的。但是有時候有點太超過了。一些不好的評論影響到它們的名聲。
Dr. Nicholas Dodman: Aggression is now a feature in some lines, not the whole breed, but you gotta watch out for it. And golden's actually number three on the National Bite Parade, and what is an epidemic of bites these days.
Dr. Nicholas Dodman:現在某些品種的特色是其攻擊性，不是全部的品種，但是你必須要小心。黃金獵犬實際上是在全國狗咬人排行榜上排名第三，這些日子狗咬人是一種流行時疫。
Who is number one and number two? The German Shepherd's at one, the Chow Chow at two. And like its retrieve along the Labrador, it has wet feet to aide in all that pedaling it loves to do. But with all that fetching and running, the golden retriever is prone to hip displeasure, a joint disorder common to many large breeds. It's caused by a loss of cartilage due to an abnormal formation in the hip. It can be quite painful and requires proper medical attention. Consult with your vet, if your golden shows signs of discomfort.
誰是第一和第二名呢？德國牧羊犬位居第一，鬆獅犬排名第二。拾物本能像拉不拉多犬一樣，它有潮濕的腳來幫助其所愛的划水動作。但是由於黃金獵犬的撿拾和跑步動作，它很容易罹患臀關節不適，一種大型狗間常見的關節疾病，此乃由臀部異常結構所致軟骨流失而引起的。這會非常痛且需要適當的醫療照顧。如果你的黃金獵犬表現出不適的樣子，諮詢你的獸醫吧。

There's probably not a better pet for the entire family. But remember, it can be mouthy and a biter. So train them early to not bite. This is not a guard dog, unless the intruder hates getting licked. Every golden has its own unique personality and traits. But in general, goldens are born to run and are generally quite healthy. Keep that brush handy and don't slack with the training and you've got a great family dog.
對全家人來說，可能沒有更好的寵物了。但是記得，它可能會流口水，可能會咬人。所以及早訓練它們不要咬人。除非侵入者討厭被舔，這不是一隻看門狗。每隻黃金獵犬有他自己獨特的個性和特徵。但是一般來說，黃金獵犬生來就是要奔跑的，而且通常非常健康。常常刷理，不要懶於訓練，你已經有一隻很棒的居家狗狗了。
