Lichaam en bouw

Golden Retriever is a large dog with retriever background whose build should be read beside high movement demand, high trainability, and a grooming load of 2/5.

The Golden Retriever was developed in Scotland as a capable retrieving dog for field work, especially where a biddable dog with a gentle mouth and steady cooperation was useful. Modern Goldens often keep that people-oriented, object-carrying, water-friendly history.
