Golden Retriever
friendly, responsible, and mild mannered, the Golden Retriever has become one of the most recognized, versatile, and popular breeds in history. It is a relatively young breed, developed in the mid-nineteenth century on the border between England and Scotland. The foundation for the breeding stock was light-coloured Tweed Water Spaniel, known for its intelligence, courage, and sporting ability. Later the blood of Irish Setter, Bloodhound, and more Tweed Water Spaniel was added, resulting in the Golden Retriever of today. Intelligent and easily trained, they were used primarily as hunters, although they also proved to be strong in the show ring. An all-around breed, Golden Retrievers are very adaptable, and they were widely used in many roles including guide dogs for the blind, drug and explosives dogs, hunters, and companions. A devoted breed with a generous, loving nature, the Golden Retriever is a favored household dog and family pet with immense patience, making it particularly suited to families with children.
