More Than 1,000 Golden Retrievers Gather For Canine Celebration In Golden, Colorado

If you’re like me, getting to spend a day surrounded by golden retriever pups is a dream. Growing up, my cousins always had several golden retriever dogs and they were so much fun to be around, their joy and love for life are simply contagious.

Personally, I’d love to spend a day just hanging out with a bunch of golden retrievers and now that dream is a possibility thanks to a celebration in Golden, Colorado.
