No, it’s not just you…
Everybody has embarrassing nicknames for their golden retrievers.
Some are sweet (like Angel Face), while other people channeled their inner third-grader to come up with their pup’s nickname (like Marty McFarty).
In the 2021 Golden Retriever Owners Report we asked people to share what nicknames they call their golden retrievers.
And I’ve got to say — the golden retrieer parents delivered!
Some of these nicknames will crack you up, while others will make you want to grab your golden and snuggle them right away.
