Hunting Dog

Is a Golden Retriever an acceptable hunting dog?

My mom is thinking about getting a golden retriever. I am a hunter and would be willing to train it if it would be a at least fairly good hunting dog. please tell me if it would be, and what it would take for me to train it to be able to pheasant hunt.

Yeah they are good listeners and great retrievers (hence the name). Females are easier to train than males. Not sure why though =^(
They are bred for upland game like pheasants, ruffed grouse, and waterfowl.
