A golden retriever is a medium-sized breed of retriever dog that originated from Scotland. It has a gentle and affectionate nature and a striking golden coat, as its name suggests. It is one of the most popular dog breeds in several Western countries, and it is commonly kept as a pet.

The golden retriever was developed in the 19th century by Sir Dudley Marjoribanks, who cross-bred flat-coated retrievers with tweed water spaniels and some other British dog breeds. The breed was created to be an ideal hunting dog that could retrieve birds from water or land, as the Scottish hunting grounds had many ponds and marshes.

The golden retriever is very intelligent, friendly, and loyal. It gets along well with people and other animals, and it is easy to train. The golden retriever also loves to swim and play, and it needs plenty of exercise to stay healthy and happy. The golden retriever has been used as a service dog for various purposes, such as guide dog, assistance dog, and search and rescue dog.

The golden retriever has a medium-length double coat that can be light or dark gold in color. It sheds a lot, especially during seasonal changes, and it needs regular grooming and brushing. The golden retriever’s height is usually between 51 to 61 centimeters, and its weight is usually between 25 to 34 kilograms. Its life span is about 10 to 12 years.
