About Golden Retriever

The Golden Retriever is a medium-large gun dog bred to retrieve shot upland game birds, such as grouse and partridge, during hunting and shooting parties. The name "retriever" refers to the breed's ability to retrieve hit games undamaged due to their soft mouth. Golden retrievers have an instinctive love of water and are easy to train to basic or advanced obedience standards. They are a long-coated breed, with a dense inner coat that provides them with adequate warmth outdoors and an outer coat that lies flat against their bodies and repels water. Golden retrievers are well suited to residency in suburban or country environments. They shed copiously, particularly at the change of seasons, and require fairly regular grooming. The Golden Retriever was originally bred in Scotland in the mid-19th century.

The breed is a prominent participant in conformation shows for purebred dogs. The Golden Retriever is famous as a disability assistance dog, such as a guide dog for the blind and a hearing dog for the deaf. In addition, they are trained to be hunting dogs, detection dogs, and search and rescue participants. The breed's friendly, gentle temperament means it is unsuited to being a professional guard dog. Still, its temperament has also made it the third-most-popular family dog breed in the United States and Canada, the fifth-most popular in Brazil and Australia, and the tenth-most popular in the United Kingdom. Golden Retrievers are rarely choosy eaters but require extended (two or more hours a day) exercise. The breed is fond of play but also highly trainable.

The Golden Retriever is a medium-large, strongly built breed with a dense, water-repellant wavy coat. As a dog with origins in pedigree breeding, and owing to its widespread historical popularity, some regional variations have emerged in the breed; therefore, the three subtypes of the Golden Retriever reflect the typical variations in dimensions and coat. However, all Golden Retrievers are blonde, yellow, or gold, and all subtypes are susceptible to the same health problems.

The temperament of the Golden Retriever is a hallmark of the breed and is described in the standard as "kindly, friendly and confident."
