Goldens make great family dogs and tend to love kids (Goldens act like kids themselves).
To use a Golden as a grouse dog, training will need to be top notch -- particularly OBedience and especially the ability to keep the dog within gun range.
Grooming all the seeds and burrs out of all that hair can be a chore.
Get on a good training program and go have fun.
