Looking for suggestions on a dog for a female relative in her 70s who recently lost her golden retriever. No small pocket dogs. Must have similar temperament (or better?) than golden. Preferably sheds less. Should get along with cats. No price limit for purchase.
can go golden again but curious what other options are out there

Ok. I’ll need to train it myself as this person is too old to do it. Thanks

That was actually my next question. My time is a little tight and hands down I’d rather have someone do it. I’ve never really trained a dog myself. Thanks a ton

You can get started dogs of many breeds that would need little training they'd just be a more expensive. Be honest, if she can't undertake training herself how will she be in two years when it is near finished.
Started dogs are usually very well trained but just didn't pan out for their intended purpose for one reason or another. I've never looked for one from companion training but they aren't rare in hunting breeds.

Miniature (not toy) poodles are great old lady dogs. Super smart, don't shed at all, hypoallergenic, won't knock her over like a lab/golden/German Shepard puppy might. Very athletic and can be taught to do anything. Very nice companion dogs.

My neighbors have one and she is dumb as fuck. We take her to our house a lot to play with our dogs and love her to death but she’s flat out dumb.Miniature (not toy) poodles are great old lady dogs.

Don't know about your neighbor's dog but...
You don't look that intimidating walking them, but my grandparents had one and she was an awesome dog.What a manly dog you have their Brutal. I especially dig the pink leash.

Just had to put my Dachshund Heidi down a few hours ago. Day started normal and then she started wandering around the house constantly and wouldn't respond when called or even acknowledge me. Vet tech said she had gone blind and her kidneys and liver were shutting down. She was diagnosed with stage one kidney disease last year but bloodwork showed she was stable not even a week ago. She would've been 16 in Aug. Going to miss her. Been working from home ever since the lockdowns and she was my shadow. Best dog I ever owned.
