Kunombono oyiphutha wokuthi i-Labrador Retriever kanye ne-Golden Retriever banobudlelwane - kodwa lokhu akuyona into engaphezu kwenkohliso. USir Dudley Majorbanks, kamuva owaziwa ngokuthi yi-Lord Tweedmouth, ngomqondo ongokomfanekiso, uyise wohlobo lwe-Golden Retriever. Kuthiwa inja yokuqala okuthiwa uNous, ayisebenzisa njengesisekelo sohlelo lokuzalanisa, wayithola esekisini, futhi kwakuyinja yaseRussia engumalusi.

Inja kufanele ithembeke futhi ilinganisele. ”
Ukuze afeze lokho ayekufuna, wawela owesilisa osevele eshiwo ogama lakhe linguNoos, ene-female tweed spaniel (manje lezi spaniels ziphelile). I-tweed spaniel yayihlukaniswa ngomlingiswa ovumelana ngendlela emangalisayo nomusa emalungwini omndeni futhi yayingumzingeli ophambili. Imidlwane eyaba umphumela yabe isiphambaniswa nolunye uhlobo lwe-tweed spaniel, kanye nesetter yejinja, lapho uSir Dudley egcine kuphela imidlwane yejinja ne-ginger yegolide ohlelweni lwakhe lokuzalanisa, futhi abanye basabalalisa abangani nomndeni.
