10 Common Things About Golden Retrievers 1

Golden Retrievers have their roots in Scotland.

For quite a long time, spurious stories were drifting around that the Golden Retriever was descended from Russian circus dogs. This hypothesis was exposed when the records of Lord Tweedmouth of Inverness, Scotland were published. In 1864, Lord Tweedmouth bought a “yellow retriever” named Nous and bred him with a liver-shaded Tweed Water Spaniel named Belle. The Golden Retrievers of today are likely the descendants of Nous and Belle. Much obliged to you, Lord Tweedmouth! As sporting canines, Golden Retrievers need loads of activity. These dynamic members from the Sporting Group are not good for laying around. They’re always on the go, regardless of whether it’s a round of catch, long walks, swimming, or other exercise. They’re naturally athletic and they are talented for a variety of sports.
