Would a male or female golden retriever make a better spoiled rotten companion for a disabled woman?

A male might be the best choice because he would get along with you better,and he should be able to help you around better. Males dogs can be more territorial and sometimes aggressive, but there are some fine and gentle male dogs out there. I prefer female dogs because they seem to have a more nurturing side to them. The dog being spoiled isn't helping the disabled person. If the dog has bad habits they could easily accidentally trip the disabled person. Any dog should listen to commands. Before giving the dog to this lady please take the time to get the dog some training. This lady should be able to give a command and the dog should react to it. == == I have always had male dogs. They are every bit as caring and gentle as the females. It all has to do with the individual dog and their upbringing. Each one has their own unique personality. Just take the time to know the animals before making your choice. Read a couple of books on how to read doggie behavior. Make a checklist of good and bad behavior signs. Go somewhere that will let you take the dogs to a play area or yard. It is hard, but try not to look at things like which one is the prettiest, the best color, the nicest build, and so on. Play with each one and go down your checklist. If they tug at your heart, and they are putting off good checklist signs, then you know the right one, male or female. Depending on the owner's disabilty, it would be a good idea for the dog to go through some professional training. If it all possible, it would be preferable for the future owner to attend some of the training as well.

What is the phylum class order and family genus and species of the labrador Retriever?

All dogs are Canis lupus familiaris (Canis is the genus, lupus is the species, and familiaris is the subspecies). This classification has been used since the 1990s.

Kingdom: Animalae

Phylum: Chordata

Class: Mammalia

Order: Carnivora

Family: Canidae

Genus: Canus

Species: lupus

Subspecies: familiaris

Because purebred dogs come in breeds, you can note the breed at the end, "Breed: Labrador retriever (black)" or "(chocolate)" or "(yellow)." No other colors are possible in Labs.

Before the 1990s, the dog was classified as "Canis domesticus" or "Canis familiaris." The new classification is a scientific acknowledgment that dogs and wolves are actually the same species (Canis lupus), but the dog is a subspecies (familiaris).

What is the difference between the Rosicrucians and the golden dawn?

The Rosicrucians and the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn are both mystical organizations, but they differ in their origins and focus. The Rosicrucians emerged in the early 17th century, emphasizing esoteric wisdom, spiritual enlightenment, and the integration of science and spirituality. In contrast, the Golden Dawn, founded in the late 19th century, focused more on ceremonial magic, Kabbalah, and the practical application of occult knowledge. While both groups share an interest in esoteric traditions, their practices and teachings reflect different historical contexts and philosophical orientations.

How much does a female golden lab puppy cost?

It depends. A "Golden Lab" is actually a mix between a goldren retreiver and a labrador retreiver. Prices for them can vary, as anything, but between 400-600 is average. As far as "Yellow Lab", which is a labrador retreiver, that dog is a pure bread and could go for 400-800.

I would recommend going on petfinder.com It has dogs all over the country, including puppies!, that need good homes. We are in the process of getting a golden/lab mix 8 week-old puppy from there for $400 in adoption fees - definitely worth it! Good luck!
