Golden Retriever





To Christy, Chris, and Savannah




This beautiful and kind gundog is everywhere, a great working dog and a wonderful family pet, also used as a guide dog, service dog, therapy dog, and a sniffer dog. Intelligent, friendly, and cheerful, he is perfect for anyone who enjoys long walks and wants a loving companion to share in activities. He needs a lot of exercise. Owners should be prepared for an ecstatic dog with a sense of humour who loves retrieving, can't resist splashing about in water, and covers the house with mud and hairs.

The Goldie originated in Britain in the 1860s from yellow pups that cropped up accidentally in black retriever strains, receiving a breed standard in 1931. Since than he has become very popular.
