The name "retriever" refers to the breed's
ability to retrieve shot game undamaged due to
their soft mouth. Golden retrievers have an
instinctive love of water, and are easy to train
to basic or advanced obedience standards. Golden
retrievers are well suited to residency in
suburban or country environments. The Golden
Retriever was originally bred in Scotland in the
mid-19th century.

Originally, cream was an unacceptable color in
the UK standard, but the standard was revised in
1936 to include cream. At the time of this
revision, the exclusion of cream as a color was
agreed to as a mistake, as the original "yellow"
retrievers of the 19th century were actually
lighter in color than was permitted by the
standards used before 1936.
