ISO Golden retriever or other quiet, gentle, hiking dog

Pittsburgh PA

Description

I'm looking to add a doggy companion to my household. I am single, no kids, but I do have a cat, and I live in an apartment (hence why I need a relatively quiet dog). I have a veterinarian and a dog park in walking distance, and I like to go for long, 2-hour hikes with a group every so often. I only work part time, so I am home a lot. An adult dog would be preferred, but I will consider a puppy.
