#13 In the late 19th century, Lord Tweedmouth in Scotland bred a blond, long-haired retriever, later known as the Golden Retriever, from a yellow Labrador Retriever, Irish Setter and the now extinct Tweed Water Spaniel.
#14 The reliable retriever with a soft mouth is primarily a valued family dog today, but it can also be used for hunting.
The calm, relaxed, yet the attentive and never boring dog is intelligent and eager to learn. In addition to hunting training, it is suitable as a guide dog for the blind, for obedience training, for tournament dog sport, etc.
#15 The Golden Retriever is an outspoken friend of children, patient and never aggressive.
It is not a protection dog but is quite ready to defend itself in an emergency. The medium-length, straight hair needs regular brushing.
The Golden Retriever, which is easy to train with love, hardly causes any problems even for the inexperienced dog owner. Since he is not one of the hunting dogs but retrieves game birds or rabbits shot on command, he does not tend to poach or stray.
