Golden Retrievers began in the mid-1800's as the ideal hunting and companion dog. They began as a 'specialist' retriever, good swimmer, very obedient, strong athletic type, good nose and a soft mouth but with less interest in ranging far afield to hunt on its own.
Lord Tweedmouth of Scotland (Dudley Coutts Marjoribanks), an avid sportsman, worked to breed such a dog which would meet this criteria and thus emerged the Golden Retriever. The beginnings combined a golden-coated retriever and Tweed Water Spaniel initially. Later, a Red Setter and a Bloodhound were added to satisfy the affluential sportsmen. With it's easy temperament for the family, natural ability and desire to help the 'master' return with the bounty of birds-- whether field or fowl, the Golden Retriever was confident and capable in either arena.
Today the Golden Retriever is one of the most favorite dogs for ownership.
