I think I might be running into the same thing. After I lost my last beagle, I got a golden retriever, who is now 8 months old. I just found out from a friend that his daughter got a 6 month old golden, that wasn't her idea to get. Well, after one day, she want to get rid of him! All because he piddled once on her carpet! This week end I'm going to see him and see if he and my golden get along. If they do, he's comming home with me. Shoot I'll probably bring him home even if they don't see eye to eye right away!
