Goldens and Labs are both very trainable dogs.  These two breeds are
perpetually among the top 3 or 4 breeds at obedience trials.  However,
if you want a noisy dog, you're out of luck.  They are usually very
quiet.  I dont think they have been grossly overbred, even though they
are both very popular.  They are good with kids.
As sporting dogs, they do need room.  A large yard and frequent field
trips are necessary.  If yard space is limited, perhaps a hound is
better.  Even the large ones don't need much space.
