History and Basic Info

The Golden Retriever is a medium sized dog which was historically used to retrieve animals for hunting parties. Their name was instilled by their love of water and ability to retrieve animals undamaged.

Golden Retrievers have a dense inner coat providing them with warmth and a way to repel water off their body. They are intelligent, and playful thus making them the 5th most popular dog in the United States and 8th in the UK. Source
