Deciding whether a Labrador Retriever or a Golden Retriever is better is subjective and depends on individual preferences. Both breeds are known for their friendly and tolerant attitudes. They are also both high-energy dogs who need lots of exercise and play time. Ultimately the decision would come down to personal preference and lifestyle compatibility.

Golden Retrievers are considered moderate to high maintenance dogs. They require regular exercise and mental stimulation, as well as regular grooming due to their long, thick coat that sheds heavily. They also need a balanced diet, regular vet checkups, and lots of interaction and attention from their human companions.

Golden Retrievers are not known for excessive barking. However, like any dog, they may bark if they are bored, anxious, or if something is out of the ordinary in their environment. It largely depends on their training and individual personality.
