History
The Golden Retrievers were first bred by Lord Tweedmouth in Scotland. From 1840 to 1890, he worked to create his ideal breed that could work as a hunting dog but also withstand the rainy weather and rugged terrain common in Scotland. After mixing Yellow Retrievers, Tweed Water Spaniels, Bloodhounds, and Irish Setters, Lord Tweedmouth was able to create the Golden Retriever. In 1908 at a British dog show, others began to take notice of Lord Tweedmouth’s remarkable work. People were attracted to the Golden Retrievers’ impressive hunting skills, beauty, and friendly personality, so the breed quickly spread across the world.

Golden Retrievers are members of the Sporting Group, which means they require lots of exercise.

Be cautious though, if your Golden Retriever does not get enough exercise, they are known to misbehave. Golden Retrievers are relatively healthy dogs, but make sure you consult with your vet if your Golden frequently partakes in strenuous activities with you. Another popular way to keep Golden Retrievers healthy is to enroll them in canine sports.
Golden Retrievers’ gorgeous water repellent coat contributes to their moderate amount of shedding throughout the whole year. However, if you thoroughly brush your Golden Retriever once or twice a week, then it will keep the shedding under control. They only require occasional baths, but after a bath it is crucial to make sure the fur is completely dry before you brush out their hair. Golden Retrievers are known for their loyalty, so they are one of the easiest breeds to train. It’s important to note that the owner should play a central role in training the puppy because the Golden Retriever will form a strong bond with its trainer. Above all else, they are eager to please which contributes to their reputation for being friendly.
