That's interesting. Near the end of Waldo's life, when he was incredibly snarky and hated pretty much everyone, the goldens in our neighborhood were the only dogs that could get within 10 feet of him without him trying to bite their heads off.<div>
<br></div><div>Can I ask what kind of air purifiers you use? Basil also has a chronic cough (he's been checked for every possible cause, and there's nothing - the vet says it's just an "old man" cough.) If an air purifier would help, I'm willing to try one.</div>

<div><div dir="ltr">Oh, Marlene, I appreciate you so much for your efforts despite your own personal health issues. Funny thing about Golden's, while they are supposed to be a great social breed, there was one at doggie school where I took Pierre Jr., and that dog stared at Jr. all the time, and Jr. actually got worse in social behavior because of that dog. He now has issues with all Goldens, and most of the owners are clueless because they have a "reputable" breed, but Jr. has been lunged at by more Goldens than any other breed.<div>
<br></div><div><br></div><div>I don't know if I mentioned this, but JP has a chronic cough, just one of his health issues. I restarted using the air purifiers I bought when Pierre Sr. was here (for his allergies), and I run them (2 - on two levels of the house) 12 hrs. each, at medium strength, and I see a big improvement in his cough. He has been so cute lately, still has a lot of issues, but at almost 12 yrs. old, and way past his initial expiration date, I love on him as much as I can.</div>
