What does it mean that Golden Retrievers have a "soft mouth"?

“Golden Retrievers are known for a "soft mouth," meaning they can carry things gently without damaging them. That trait was bred in so they could retrieve birds for hunters without crushing them, and some Goldens can even carry a raw egg without cracking it.”
