Golden Retievers were developed in the 1800’s by a British aristocrat, Lord Tweedmouth. The goal was to create a hunting dog, which doesn’t only work well, but looks beautiful too. For the crossing they used Tweed Water Spaniel, Newfoundland, Irish Setters and different kinds of water Spaniels. The result speaks for itself: a highly intelligent, wonderful companion was born, which became one of the most popular dogs all over the world.
The first Golden Retriever Club was formed in 1908 and they were brought to America in the 1920’s and the first one was registered in AKC in 1925.
