Golden Retriever- Golden Retrievers came from the late 1800s when Sir Dudley Majoribanks (Lord Tweedmouth) started breeding a new type of retriever. They were first called Golden Flat Coats. It wasn’t until 1920 that they were called Golden Retriever’s. They are one of the best-loved dogs in the world. A Golden Retriever’s personality is lovable, easygoing, pleasant companions. They are always up for an adventure, or maybe a snooze. It is said they are smart and sociable. They are rambunctious because they have a great passion for life- a passion that lives on well into their senior years. Golden Retrievers are wonderful companions, friends, and pets.
