i live in london, and don't have a very big garden although i live about 1 minute walk away from one, would i be able to get a golden retriever, and also, how much exercise do they need? please help!

Welcome to the forum.
Take a look at our Golden Retriever Information,it includes a breed guide. I think you will find answers to some of your questions. You could also contact one of the breed clubs as I am sure that they will be able to advise you too :-)
