I don't have a Golden, but a have a few Skye Terriers who are big dogs on short legs
They love my Yorkies to bits, have done from them being tiny puppies. They all play together, which can get quite boisterous, but it's always the Yorkies who are the ringleaders.
If you know Skyes, you'll know they're very long & low so they often sleep curled round. When they do, there'll usually be one of my Yorkies snuggled down in the middle of the hairy circle made by their body.
