The Golden Retriever is a large breed of dog,
historically developed as a gundog to retrieve shot waterfowl and upland game during hunting.
As such they were bred to have a soft mouth to retrieve game undamaged and an instinctive love of water.
Their versatility sees them employed in a variety of roles
including narcotics detection, search and rescue, as hunting dogs and as guide dogs.
The Golden Retriever's friendly, biddable nature and patient demeanor
has also made it one of the most popular family dogs (by registration) in the world today.
