Both Labs and Golden Retrievers are gentle, friendly, and people pleasers– which makes them a great choice for first-time dog owners. But Labs are generally more energetic, excited, and playful as compared to Golden Retrievers, as the latter are more sensitive, affectionate, and calm. And so, if you want a more easier-to-handle companion then Golden Retrievers are better suited for you. On the contrary, if you have an active lifestyle or kids who want companions to play– then Labrador Retrievers are a better choice for you.
