Golden Retrievers gather in Scotland for family reunion


Did you know it's the 155th anniversary of Golden Retriever breed? I didn't. The Golden Retriever Club of Scotland threw a family reunion for the breed to celebrate its 155th anniversary. The doggie party took place where the first litter of the puppies was born: Guisachan House in Glen Affric, Scotland. Owners and their pooches came from over 12 countries to lift their leg to mark the occasion. No word if the dogs dug up family grudges, had pissing matches to settle old scores, or if arguments took place over chew toys.

The first litter of the adorable breed was born on the grounds in 1868. Golden Retrievers were created by crossing a Yellow Retriever and Tweed Water Retriever (both now extinct), adding some Irish Setter, and a dash of Bloodhound for giggles and grins. Voila! Golden Retrievers. The breed was recognized by the Britain Kennel Club in 1913 and the American Kennel Club in 1925. BTW, did you know a Golden Retriever has never won Best in Show at the Westminster Kennel Club? That's shocking.

 Anyway, these lovable furballs are the 3rd most popular dog breed in the USA. Look at these faces. So cute!
