Golden Retrievers were developed in the Scottish Highlands during the reign of Victoria by Dudley Marjoribanks, the first Lord Tweedmouth. He spent 50 years, between 1840 and 1890, perfecting the ideal breed – a gun dog suited to the rainy climate and rugged terrain. It was a cross between the Yellow Terrier and the now extinct Tweed Water Spaniel.
In 1908, the Golden Retriever was introduced to the world at a British Dog Show, and was brought to America and Canada, but it wasn’t until 1970 that the popularity of the beautiful and sweet tempered breed took off.
Some interesting facts about Golden Retrievers:
