The second installment in our new series, Carlos & Brian discuss the Labrador Retriever and the Golden Retriever — happy and easy-going. The American Kennel Club describes the Lab as "friendly, active and outgoing" and the Golden as "friendly, intelligent and devoted". Both the Lab and the Golden are two of the easiest breeds to own; that's why they are always at the top of the list of Most Popular in the United States. If you're a first-time dog owner, either of these is a great choice!
