Do golden retrievers get along with macaws?
This is a question more of raising the animals together and training, than a breed issue. It is possible to have a golden retriever that is totally tolerant of other animals, just like it is possible to have a golden retriever that has no "social skills" at all. When introducing the animals, be sure to have a calm and controlled situation. It is best to have extra sets of hands on deck. Keep a close eye on things because a macaw can hurt the dog as easily as the dog can hurt the macaw.

Which is better Labrador Retriever or Golden Retriever?
Personal opinion -
1. they are both hunting/sporting dogs with a similar specialty.
2. it depends on your intended use - sport, protection, working dog, or just family.
I find the Labrador to be easier to manage and train all the way around and less of a mess to groom and clean (short hair vs long hair). I love golden's they are great dogs with generally a great disposition. However I find them to not be the most intelligent dogs I have ever worked with. training can be a bit of a challenge. Your results may vary !

MOST LIKELY, your golden retriever is NOT a purebred golden retriever, then. because, all golden retrievers (100% purebred golden-retriever, with no other breed in them) have webbed feet, they are instinctively and historically-speaking SWIMMERS and hunters...
SO,
if you want, you can check with the person or organization from whom you obtained the dog, and inquire into the background of the dog (ie. purebred golden retriever? are there other breeds mixed in with golden retriever in my dog?, etc)
