See the issue is that's considered a big strong masculine dog, so chuds self-identify with the strength part. if you're looking for puppyboys, you're looking for guys who self describe as like a corgi or a terrier.
big? well they're not small, i'll give this part a pass
strong? on account of not being small they're also not weak, but on the scale of dogs no they're not strong
masculine? yes, the good kind
Golden Retrievers aren't seen as big strong masculine dogs. Typically that would be dogs like German Shepherds, Rottweilers, Doberman Pinscher, etc. Golden Retrievers are seen more as a himbo type dog, for lack of a better term.
Whether people's self identification with dog breeds matches what they should be picking based on dog breed stereotypes is a different discussion. But yeah, I don't think people view Goldens as BIG, STRONG, MASCULINE dogs at all.

Golden Retrievers are seen as big, strong and masculine?
ExistingConsumingSpace@midwest.social · 28 pts · 341d
They aren't. They're considered to be affable goofballs, like Mr. Peanutbutter.

Look I don't wanna spend too long breaking this down but there's a reason Air Bud is a Golden Retriever and not a cute lil Dachshund.

Because he smiles a lot and looks cute in a jersey?

No way. If I've ever seen a "hold me back bro. I'm serious bro" dog breed, it'd be the chihuahia
edit: oh. I guess under the right circumstances those could be the same

That's the fun part of chihuahuas. They're both, like almost at the exact same time.

I cannot explain this further, but I am certain that boys who identify with chihuahuas are brats.

I've been called a golden retriever, and I'd absolutely bark!

I’d bark anyway but I would not be considered a golden retriever I’m far too unstable for that
JackbyDev@programming.dev · 2 pts · 340d
