Each month Fit Pets and People will be featuring a pet of the month. We will be talking about the history, personality, if the breed is right for you and some things you should know about the breed.
Your comments are always welcome and encouraged. I would love to learn about your experiences with your Golden Retriever.
This months feature pet is the lovable Golden Retriever. Let's take a look back on the history of the Golden.
In the late 1800’s the Golden Retriever originated
in the Scottish Highlands. At that time,
they were used predominantly hunting dogs.
Lord Tweedmouth developed the breed.
His goal was to create a superb retriever suited to the Scottish
climate, terrain and available game.
Lord Tweedmouth crossed his original “Yellow Retriever” with the Tweed
Water Spaniel. The Tweed Water Spaniel
is now extinct. Later breeding with the
Irish Setter, Bloodhound, and more Tweed Water Spaniels produced the retriever that
we know today.
