History of the golden retriever dog

The breed of this dog was developed in 1800 by the British Lord Tweedmouth, descended from the Scottish Highlands and was developed with the aim of making it a hunting game dog widespread in England and Scotland at the time, it was hunting then hobby and game and a way to bring food at the same time, this dog is one of the most famous breeds in the world to date for families and for hunting.

The golden retriever was originally born in Scotland in the middle of the XIX century.
At the time, bird hunting was a popular sport for the Scottish people,   

but the list of dog breeds was insufficient to retrieve a bird that had fallen on land or in water. 

Recovery from land and water was necessary because the fishing grounds at the time were in marshy ponds and rivers. 

Thus, crossing in the water was done better with existing Retrievers, creating today's breed known as the golden retriever. 

The first golden retriever was placed near Glen Afrique in Scotland. It is believed that the breed originated from the now extinct Russian tracking dogs. 

Improvements in hunting weapons during the nineteenth century resulted in more birds being shot down during hunting operations at greater distances and on increasingly rough terrain, resulting in the loss of more birds in this area. 

Because of this improvement in firearms, a need arose for a specialized retriever, as the training mode and breeds then present in bird Retrievers were found to be ineffective. 

Thus, work began on the breeding of the retriever dog to fill this role that they most needed.
