According to the Golden Retriever Club of America, the Golden Retriever breed originated in Great Britain with its roots in the Scottish country. Lord Tweedmouth cross bred a yellow retriever to a Tweed Water Spaniel. This breeding produced the original stock from which our present day golden retrievers descended. Goldens are one of the most popular breeds in America today. They are known for being loving, loyal, intelligent, and a great all-round family dog. They are adaptable and easily trainable. They like to be with their family. Whether you want an English Creme or American Golden Retriever, all Golden Meadows Farm dogs are family-raised and family-friendly. Our retrievers have the qualities that breeders and families are looking for - - lush coats, intelligence, and personality!
