Golden Retriever

Dogs are our link to paradise. They don't know evil or jealousy or discontent. To sit with a dog on a hillside on a glorious afternoon is to be back in Eden, where doing nothing was not boring - it was peace.

The Golden Retriever was developed in the mid-1800s by a Scotsman, Lord Tweedmouth. The Golden Retriever is a result of selective breeding of retrievers, spaniels, setters, and, some believe, bloodhound.  Originally kept and bred as gundogs, today Golden Retrievers continue to work in the field and as guide dogs and service dogs to physically challenged people. In fact, Golden Retrievers are the most successful guide dogs of any other breed.

Considered the most beautiful of the retriever family, the Golden Retriever is known for his gentle expression, soft eyes, and flowing coat. He stands up to 24 inches at the shoulder, and has a dense, water-repellent coat with feathering on the legs and tail. The coat comes in all shades of gold and may be flat or wavy.
The Golden Retriever is affectionate, loyal, and good natured. A superb family pet, the friendly Golden is eager, alert, responsive, playful, and self-confident. He is gentle with children and has a high tolerance for their endless attentions. As a devoted family member, the Golden Retriever is not happy when left alone for long periods. He requires a lot of attention and love from his owners.
This dog is extremely active and has a high energy level. He needs lots of exercise and is particularly fond of swimming. A Golden Retriever will retrieve sticks from the water all day long!
