The Golden Temperament
Golden Retrievers are a beautiful animal--confident and intelligent, moderate in size and activity. They are easily trained and cared for, with a strong desire to please. At the same time, they are quite powerful with a natural affinity for retrieving and swimming. They are very social and require companionship, especially human; they are happiest as an integral member of a family. Physically, goldens are medium-sized dogs with flowing golden coats that can range from very light to red-gold.

The History of the Golden
The golden retriever is a relatively young breed. It originated in Scotland during the late 1800s where it was developed by a British aristocrat, Lord Tweedmouth. Since hunting provided both sport and sustenance on Scottish estates, Tweedmouth and other British lords sought to develop effective hunting dogs for upland game. However, because the original breeders were gentlemen, they demanded more than just practicality in their dogs. They also sought to create handsome animals who were a pleasure to watch work. The result was the golden retriever, a breed with both hunting skill and beauty.

The
foundation of the golden retriever was the now-extinct Tweed water
spaniel. Over the years, crosses were made to numerous other breeds,
most of which differ significantly from the dogs we know today by the
same names:
Red setter, Labrador Retrievers, Newfoundlands.
By the early 1900s, the golden retriever had developed into a superb hunting retriever. Its most distinguishing features were its luxurious golden coat and sweet disposition.
