History of Golden Retriever

Golden retrievers originated in Scotland during the 1800s. It was primarily developed by one man: Sir Dudley Marjoribanks, who was later known as Lord Tweedmouth. Tweedmouth, like many others during the time, was interested in breeding different types of dogs, with the goal of perfecting different breeds. With the Golden Retriever, Tweedmouth was aiming to develop a superior dog for hunting waterfowl with an even temper. To achieve this, he bred flat- and wavy-coated retrievers with Tweed Water Spaniels. The resulting breed quickly drew attention for its excellent hunting skills, and became officially known as the Golden Retriever in 1920. Five years later, the Golden Retriever was recognized by the American Kennel Club (AKC). Since then, the breed has established itself as a wonderful companion and working dog alike, making it one of the most popular breeds of all time.
