We, the owners of 8 beautiful  Golden Retrievers, Kobus en Louwra van der Linde are extremely proud of our four legged family members. <\/p>\n<p>Friend:  \u201cSky (Golden Retriever) where is the perfect place to live for a Golden Retriever?\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Sky:  \u201cWoof \u2013 Children, children, children, woof.  If I can have a friend to play with, it would be like, the best thing ever.  Woof. I wouldn\u2019t ever need a big area, just a small place where me and my friend can play.  It would be super cool if there is some water and toys like a ball in the game.  Off course, afterwards, when I am tired and hungry, some proper dog food with a treat afterwards would be appreciated.  Woof.  At night my friends bed will be the best place, so I can look after him, of course, and although fighting is not in my nature, nobody, and I mean nobody, will come near my friend without my approval, because you see \u2013 I am a Golden Retriever.  I am a child\u2019s best friend.<\/p>\n<p>Working with children and dogs for the last twenty years, we can say without doubt that we have never come across a more child-friendly dog than the Golden Retriever.  If you put together the charming personality, superior intelligence and playful nature, you are looking at the perfect trustworthy and devoted companion.<\/p>\n<p>This excellent temperament is also the reason why the Golden Retrievers are the top selling dog and  are widely used as therapy dogs.  Louwra deals with troubled children on a daily basis, and incorporates Sky extensively in play therapy classes.  Children has a tendency to open up towards the dogs a lot easier than towards humans, because there is no judgement involved from the dog. <\/p>\n<p>Please, have a look through our photo gallery and see for yourself the story the pictures tell of the joys we derive from our beautiful family members.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_eb_attr":"","site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}}},"categories":[10],"class_list":["post-2184","writeup","type-writeup","status-publish","hentry","category-golden-retriever","writeup_category-golden-retriever"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.petssouthafrica.co.za\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/writeup\/2184","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.petssouthafrica.co.za\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/writeup"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.petssouthafrica.co.za\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/writeup"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.petssouthafrica.co.za\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.petssouthafrica.co.za\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2184"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.petssouthafrica.co.za\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2184"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
