golden retrievers fetching a stick in the San Francisco Bay, California


The Golden Retriever is a large breed of dog, historically developed as a gundog to retrieve shot waterfowl and upland game during hunting.[1] As such they were bred to have a soft mouth to retrieve game undamaged and an instinctive love of water.[2] Their versatility sees them employed in a variety of roles including illegal drug detection, search and rescue, as hunting dogs and as guide dogs. [3] Its friendly, biddable nature and patient demeanor has also made it one of the most popular family dogs (by registration) in the world today.[4] -Wikipedia
