Golden Retriever

The Golden Retriever is a large and friendly breed that was originally developed in Scotland in the late 19th century for retrieving game. This breed is well-known for its friendly and affectionate personality, making it a popular choice for families and as a companion dog. Golden Retrievers are also highly intelligent and trainable, making them well-suited for a variety of roles, including search and rescue, as therapy dogs, and as assistance dogs for people with disabilities.

The Golden Retriever is a medium to large-sized breed, with males typically weighing between 55-75 pounds (25-34 kg) and females weighing between 50-65 pounds (23-29 kg). They have a dense, water-resistant coat that is typically golden in color, which helps to protect them from the elements when retrieving game. This breed is also known for their athletic ability and enjoy physical activity, making them well-suited for a variety of activities, such as hiking, swimming, and agility trials. The Golden Retriever is recognized by several registries, including the American Kennel Club, the United Kennel Club, and the Canadian Kennel Club.
