I have two golden retrievers now, couldn't recommend the breed more. I looked a while before I picked each one as I wanted and do hunt them. They are past their prime as hunting dogs but are the very best family dogs I've ever had. My daughter was born after we had these dogs, I watched her literally poke one of my dogs in the eye when she was crawling on top of him. He just moved his head away, I got her off so she didn't do that again.
As far as a hunting dog goes, my female in her prime had the best nose I've ever hunted over. My buddies field trial shorthairs (which he could have bought a nice atv for what he paid for them) she would embarrass every time we hunted together. My buddy named her wonder dog.
Good luck!
