I think this is the same at our side of the pond too. Unfortunately many Goldens suffer from what I call the colour TV syndrome. In early seventies when the children where nagging their parent's to buy a colour TV, the answer was home breeding using the neighbour dog. The result was often an odd mix of genes.
This has happened to a lot of the popular breeds. So if you want a child safe dog, then stay away from the popular breeds.

How about a Golden Retriever. The number 1 biter in North America? The new health disaster looking for a place to happen? Sorry, not for me. Goldens aren't dogs they used to be.
