It is characterised by a gentle and affectionate nature and a striking golden coat.

It is commonly kept as a pet and is among the most frequently registered breeds in several Western countries. The breed was created by Sir Dudley Marjoribanks at his Scottish estate Guisachan in the late nineteenth century. In the 1860s Marjoribanks set out to create what to his mind was the ultimate breed of retriever at his Scottish estate Guisachan. In 1868 Nous was mated to a Tweed Water Spaniel bitch named Belle, who is recorded in the stud book as being whelped in 1863 and being of “Ladykirk breeding”. The litter from this mating consisted of four yellow pups, Primrose, Ada, Cowslip and Crocus. In 1952 Marjoribanks’s great-nephew, Giles Fox-Strangways, 6th Earl of Ilchester, teamed up with Elma Stonex and together they studied Marjoribanks’s stud book. In the early days Golden Retrievers were called the ‘Flat-coated Retriever, Golden’, Initially the Golden Retriever was considered a colour variety of the former breed.

In 1903 the Kennel Club recorded the first examples, listing them in the same register as Flat-coats. One early twentieth century enthusiast of the breed, Winifred Charlesworth, was instrumental in the establishment of the breed club as well as its separate Kennel Club recognition. It was she who drew up the first breed standard, which was adopted by the Kennel Club and with only minor amendments and remains largely unchanged. In the years after the First World War its popularity increased markedly and in the 1920s and 1930s it spread through much of the Western world.
