The development of
Golden Retrievers began about 150 years
ago in Scotland and England. Hunters of
the day recognized them as an excellent
water and land retriever. Originally
known as Yellow Wavy-Coat
Retriever, they made their way to
America about 75 years ago.
Today, Goldens are
beautiful, effective, kind, and popular.
However, Golden Retrievers are not for
everyone. Goldens are large, muscular,
extremely active, social animals;
requiring daily exercise, attention,
love, and care. You can expect to spend
$300-$400 a year in food and $150 a year
in veterinary care. Also, if you require
an immaculate house or yard a smaller and
less active dog would better suit you.
