The Golden Retriever, a very affectionate dog, is native to Great Britain. It appeared in the 19th century, as a result of crossings (as often), between the tweed water spaniel and the flat coated retriever with light dress. My dog had six puppies a few months ago; I wanted to keep them all but my new job does not leave me enough time to take care of them so I will like to donate to the interested people who will love them and take good care of them.xxx-xxx-xxxx
