Golden retriever

Scottish retriever dogs of medium size include the Golden Retriever. Its gorgeous golden coat and kind, caring personality define it. It is one of the most frequently recognized breeds in a number of Western nations and is regularly kept as a pet. It frequently participates in dog competitions and obedience tests, is employed as a gundog, and can be trained to work as a guiding dog.

In the late nineteenth century, Sir Dudley Marjoribanks developed the breed at his Scottish farm Guisachan. He interbred Tweed Water Spaniels with Flat-Coated Retrievers, adding Bloodhound, Labrador Retriever, and Red Setter as further admixtures. After becoming recognized by the Kennel Club in 1913, the breed became popular throughout the world throughout the interwar years.

The Golden Retriever is regarded as a breed of dog that is clever, kindhearted, and extremely affectionate. The breed is often calm and biddable, very easy to teach, and incredibly eager to please its owner, as is common for retriever breeds. The breed is well-known for making wonderful companions and family dogs because they are typically very patient with children and eager to join any family member in a variety of activities. The breed frequently lacks any defending instincts altogether because of their friendly personalities.
