Anyone who has spent even a moment around Golden Retrievers knows the instant warmth they bring. Golden Retrievers manage to be both majestic and utterly goofy. They originated in Scotland, where breeders developed them as energetic, dependable gundogs. Today, they rank among America’s most popular breeds thanks to their versatility and warm personalities.
Physically, Golden Retrievers are strong, well-built, medium-sized dogs known for their signature golden coats, thick, shiny, and water-repellent. Their broad heads, intelligent eyes, neatly folded ears, and straight muzzles create the adorable look that defines the breed.
