History
The golden retriever is a breed of hunting dog that was developed in Scotland during the 19th century. The breed has its roots in the St. John’s water dog and other crossbreeds from setters, spaniels, and retrievers. Golden retrievers have been used to hunt birds for centuries and are also popular family pets due to their gentle and affectionate personalities.

A golden retriever is a medium-large sized breed with a sturdy build and silky coat. The most common colors for a golden retriever’s fur are shades of gold, cream, or red. They have long legs, a broad chest, and floppy ears that can be either black or brown. On average, a golden retriever will weigh between 55 and 75 pounds when fully grown.
