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.
