The Golden Retriever is a large breed of dog, historically developed as a gundog to retrieve shot waterfowl and up land game during hunting. As such they were bred to have a soft mouth to retrieve game undamaged and an instinctive love of water.Their versatility sees them employed in a variety of roles including illegal dragdetection, search and rescue, as hunting dogs and as guide dogs.Its friendly, biddable nature and patient demeanor has also made it one of the most popular family dogs (by registration) in the world today.

Golden Retrievers are moderately active dogs, and require a reasonable amount of exercise each day, although exercise needs may vary depending on the individual dog and its age. They are a breed that is prone to obesity, even more so than the Labrador Retriever and as such the average Golden Retriever should never be treated like a small dog, or sedentary house pet. Some dogs may be too active to be easily exercised by elderly owners.
