Golden Retriever

The Golden Retriever is a breed of dog. They were originally developed as gun dogs to retrieve shot waterfowl like ducks and upland game birds during shooting and hunting parties. As such, Golden Retriever dog was bred to have a soft mouth to retrieve game undamaged and have an instinctive love of water. Golden Retrievers have a dense inner coat that provides them with enough warmth. The outer coat is sleek and water repellent, and lays flat against the body. The official color of the breed is the varying shades of gold that are most often seen. The breed's intelligence and versatility suit the dogs well for a variety of roles including guide dog for the blind, hearing dog for deaf people, hunting dog, illegal drug detector, and search and rescue participant. Because of their loyal and gentle temperament, golden retrievers are also popular family pets. Golden Retrievers possess a friendly, eager-to-please demeanour, and are the 4th most popular family dog breeds (by registration) in the United States, the 5th most popular in Australia, and the 8th most popular in the United Kingdom.
