The Golden Retriever is a breed of dog. They were historically developed as gundogs toretrieve shot waterfowl such as ducks and upland game birds during hunting and shooting parties.[1] As such they were bred to have a soft mouth to retrieve game undamaged and have an instinctive love of water.[2]
The breed's intelligence and versatility suit the dogs well for a variety of roles including guide dog, hunting dog, illegal drug detector, helping blind people, fire dogs, and search and rescueparticipant.[3]
Golden Retrievers possess a friendly, eager-to-please demeanor, and are the 4th most popular family dog breeds (by registration) in the United States.
