Golden Retriever was developed in Britain in the 1800’s like many sporting dog breeds. It was originally bred in Guisachan Estate in Scottland, owned by Lord Tweedmouth. Here, the Golden Retriever originally developed from crossing a yellow Retriever with a local and now extinct breed known as Tweed Water Spaniel. His goal was to breed a hunting dog that would be more active and stronger than the existing Retrievers.
Golden Retrievers were first accepted for registration by the Kennel Club of England in 1903 as Flat Coats- Golden. In 1908, they were exhibited and were recognized as a breed in 1908 described as Retriever (Golden and Yellow). The Golden Retriever Club was founded in 1913 and the breed was officially changed to Golden Retriever in 1920.
