Golden Retrievers
The Golden retriever is a breed of dog used for hunting and “retrieving” game, specifically small game. Golden retrievers were originally trained to retrieve downed fowl, but they now are used for most small game hunting due to their great scent and retrieval skills. Originally, Golden retriever dogs were yellow and the result of Golden retriever breeders crossing them with black hunting dogs is the Golden retriever we know today. The hope of the Golden retriever breeders was to have a good hunting dog that was loyal, loving and easy to train.
