Where the Golden Retriever came from? This fairly new breed has a fantastic history. The origin of the breed can be examined back to the 1800s in Scotland. The breed was improved by Lord Tweedmouth, a British noble who wished for an agile hunting dog that was equally good to look at. probably from crosses between a yellow Flat-Coat Retriever, light-coated Tweed Water Spaniels, other spaniels, setters and even the Newfoundland. The Golden is one of the world's foremost family companion dogs. Many of the top obedience competition dogs in the country are Golden Retrievers. The golden retriever was exhibited for the first time by Lord Harcourt in a Kennel Club show in 1908. Though Lord Harcourt gave named it the golden retriever, the Kennel Club registered it as the golden variety of the Flat Coat Retriever. The greatest enthusiast of the breed was Mrs. Charlesworth, who made sure that the golden retriever was preserved as a dual purpose dog - a hunting dog that was a wonderful family companion. She also innovated the opening of The Golden Retriever Club with her fellow enthusiasts in 1911. It was because of her efforts that the Kennel Club registered it as a distinct breed in 1913. The breed was brought to North America, and later to many other parts of the world.

Golden Retrievers are highly concentrated. This can be a good trait but it can also be something owners must watch out for. Golden Retrievers will focus on work so much that they wear themselves out or focus on food so much that they become obese. Owners must be careful of the activities of Golden Retrievers and monitor their food intake and activity level closely.
