Notes from RAS (EN)

" Hunting traits
The Golden Retriever is, as the name indicates, a retriever and therefore the hunting traits are an important area. Some achievements have been made, but there is still a lot to do. The goals are therefore the same in this version of RAS (2012-2016) as in the previous. Overall we need to improve working ability, will to please and water passion and to decrease stress and lack of concentration in the working dog.
Mentality
We have several issues regarding mentality in our breed. Statistics from dog mentality assessments has shown that we need to increase curiosity and decrease fear. Many Goldens are tested, and one of the goals is to further increase the the number of tested dogs. Evaluation of statistics has shown small improvements towards our goal."
