Golden Retrievers have webbed toes. These webbed paws don’t have a lot of everyday uses, but they can be beneficial in the water.
Golden Retrievers are known for their smarts, and in fact according to one study are the fourth most intelligent breed of dog, with just the Border Collie, Poodle, and German Shepherd beating them to the top spots.
Goldens help children with additional needs to cope with their daily life, from support for kids with autism to helping anxious children stay calm when learning to read.
