This applies to any breed of dog.
Proper socialization from a young age is essential for any dog breed, including Golden Retrievers, to ensure they are comfortable and well-behaved around babies and other people. That being said, early exposure to different situations, people, and environments can help develop their social skills.
While Golden Retrievers are generally good around babies, it's crucial to watch for signs of stress, anxiety, or discomfort in the dog and always supervise their interactions to ensure the safety of both the baby and the dog.
That's why it's so important to never leave a dog and a baby alone together, even if the dog has a history of being well-behaved around children. Babies can be unpredictable, and it's essential to prioritize safety.
