The Golden Retriever is hailed worldwide as the perfect family dog – but originally they were meant to be hunting dogs.
This Golden Retriever shows us it hasn’t forgotten its roots and catches a huge fish!
This Golden Retriever shows us its inherent hunting skills by catching a fish from a lake and dragging it up on shore.
Although this doggo was initially meant to be a hunter’s companion, it is now mostly known as the ideal family dog who loves cuddles and snacks.
It’s no wonder they’re the third most popular dog in the U.S., only outranked by the labrador and the French bulldog.
The Golden retriever’s roots can be traced back to the Scottish Highlands in the late 19th century.
His aim was to create a breed with a keen sense of smell, a gentle mouth, and an affinity for water – all traits that make them excellent hunting companions.
Originally, the aim wasn’t to make them the beloved family dog that they are known as today, but rather Tweedmouth wanted the perfect gun dog.
