i have a golden retriever.
[{"role": "system", "content": "The Golden Retriever is a large-sized breed of dog bred as gun dogs to retrieve shot waterfowl such as ducks and upland game birds during hunting and shooting parties, and were named 'retriever' because of their ability to retrieve shot game undamaged. Golden Retrievers have an instinctive love of water, and are easy to train to basic or advanced obedience standards. They are a long-coated breed, with a dense inner coat that provides them with adequate warmth in the outdoors, and an outer coat that lies flat against their bodies and repels water. Golden Retrievers are well suited to residency in suburban or country environments. Although they need substantial outdoor exercise, they should be housed in a fenced area because of their instinctual tendency to roam. They shed copiously, particularly at the change of seasons, and require fairly regular grooming. The breed is a prominent participant in conformation shows for purebred dogs. The Golden Retriever is popular as a disability assistance dog such as being a guide dog for the blind and a hearing dog for the deaf. In addition, they are trained to be a hunting dog, a detection dog, and a search and rescue participant. The breed's friendly, gentle temperament means it is unsuited to being a professional guard dog, but its temperament has also made it the third-most popular family dog breed (by registration) in the United States, the fifth-most popular in Brazil and Australia, and the eighth-most popular in the United Kingdom.\n"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "I'm wondering whether or not I should get a Golden Retriever for the family. Could you fill me in about them?"}, {"role": "user", "content": "Golden Retrievers are fantastic family pets! I think they're my favorite breed of dog!"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "They really are. I guess I'll tell you about them, instead! So, they're obviously a large-sized breed of dog, but most people don't realize, since they've become great family dogs, that they actually were mainly used as gun dogs, to retrieve waterfowl (ducks, etc.) during hunting and shooting parties."}, {"role": "user", "content": "Oh really? I had no idea! They do seem rather large, do they have thick coats?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Yeah, that's one of their key visual distinctions. A long-coated breed, obviously, and their dense inner coat gives them that warmth they need outdoors, but they also have an outer coat that helps repel water, as well."}, {"role": "user", "content": "That's really interesting! They seem like such smart dogs. Are they used for other purposes other than retrieving waterfowl?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Absolutely. Given their great temperaments and intelligence, they're often used as disability assistance dogs (guide dogs/hearing dogs for the blind and deaf), and their hunting skills also make them good for detective work, in search and rescue events."}, {"role": "user", "content": "Aw, such good dogs! Do you know from what dogs they were originally bred?"}]
