Luds in the last 27 1/2 years we have had two goldens. Both were left home during the day for 8 to ten hours. Both were smart enough not to drink too much water and never tore anything up. Secret was having a ton of dog toys laying around for them. I just had to euthanize the best friend I have ever had, Minnie. Minnie the most recent Golden was 11 1/2. I would not have traded her for anything and I wouldn't get any other kind of dog for the question you posed. Wife and I gave her a tremendous amount of attention we we got home from work. We just started talking about getting another one. Probably before springtime.
