Cool Golden Retriever Names

For The Happening Dog

Golden retrievers have a rich history as water dogs that were bred in the 1800’s to retrieve waterfowl shot by hunters. The retrieval instinct remains strong, making these pets love games that require them to return a tossed object to one of their humans which they'll do for hours.

Because these dogs were bred to gently retrieve ducks and other waterfowl, they tend to have a very gentle nature. This makes them great as pets for families with small children. Instead of being pets that will snap or growl when tired or stressed, these canines tend to simply walk away from the play they do not wish to participate in and find a location to nap. Seldom will you hear of someone being bitten by a golden retriever unless the dog was being harmed or they were forced to protect a loved one.
