The Golden Retriever is an excellent companion and best friend of a hunter. He is good-natured, calm, excellent at serving upshot game.
The noble golden retriever has truly aristocratic roots, being the brainchild of Dudley Coutts Marjoribanks, 1st Baron Tweedmouth, aka the Lord Tweedmouth. Lord Tweedmouth developed the breed in his native Scotland during the mid-to-late 19th century.
As their name suggests, golden retrievers were intended primarily as hunting dogs to retrieve felled game in the field.
Therefore, they were bred to possess an extremely powerful sense of smell, and indeed their olfactory skills are among the best of all dog breeds.
