About the Golden Retriever

The Golden Retriever was developed in the Scottish Highlands during the mid-1800s by Lord Tweedmouth, who sought to create the ideal gundog for retrieving waterfowl in the rugged terrain and wet climate of Scotland. He crossed a Yellow Retriever with the now-extinct Tweed Water Spaniel, and subsequent crosses included Irish Setters, Bloodhounds, and more Tweed Water Spaniels. The result was a powerful, enthusiastic retriever with a soft mouth and a water-resistant coat.
