We are a family with 2 boys age 7 & 5 who are looking to have a Labrador or Golden Retriever. I have been told that Goldens are calmer than Lab's. Can anyone offer any advice on differences between these two breeds? We hear such good things about both breeds that we are finding it difficult to choose!
