Topic: Golden Retriever is the best dog.
Specific Purpose: To persuade my audience that the Golden Retriever are the best dog for a family to own.
Central Idea: There are three primary reasons that Golden Retrievers make excellent family pets.
Main Points: 1. Friendly with kids, elderly, athletes, sick people and all persons.
This breed of dogs is highlighted as one of the most conducive for families because they are sweet and protective, taking very well both with adults and with children, other dogs and with cats and any living creature. Its greatest value is due to its sweet temperament, intelligence and willingness to learn.

2. Golden Retrievers are used successfully in field trials, hunting, obedience, and as guide dogs for the blind.
The Golden Retriever, with its intelligence and eager to please attitude, is one of the most popular breeds in the United States. The working ability that has made the Golden Retriever such a useful hunting companion also makes him an ideal guide, assistance and search and rescue dog. The golden-colored coat is the hallmark of this versatile breed, and can range from light to dark gold. They are used for many important jobs, such as guide dogs for blind people, drug or bomb sniffing at airports, or helping to rescuing people from earthquakes and other natural disasters. This breed is also used in water rescue/lifesaving.

3. Grooming is not too difficult.
The smooth, medium-haired double coat is easy to groom. Comb and brush with a firm bristle brush, paying particular attention to the dense undercoat. Dry shampoo regularly, but bathe only when necessary. This breed is an average shedder

    “A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself.” By Josh Billings. This quote is the reason I chose this topic, animals are very important among humans and especially to me.

    When I was looking on the computer for a nice-looking breed of dog to have for a pet, I immediately fell in love with the American Pit Bull Terrier. They are absolutely adorable. I went to pick up two puppies that same day. When I got there, I was a little hesitant to enter the house. There was about huge blue pit-bull who weighed about a hundred and twenty pounds staring right at me. They assured me that it was fine to come in and as soon as I did, the big blue ox jumped right up on my chest and started to lick me. That is when I knew I had to have one. They are intimidating to people who don't know much about them, but are loyal to their owners. I bought two of them and loved them to death. They were the perfect pets. They make excellent guard dogs and know who is supposed to be on your property and who is not. I think that the…
