Welcome to the GRCA Historical Education site! We hope that you are anxious to learn more about the history of the Golden Retriever. The GRCA is proud of the Golden Retriever’s rich heritage and invites you to share it with us. All pictures on this site have been obtained from the Golden Retriever Club of America Archives unless otherwise noted.
For many years it was generally accepted by authorities that our Goldens were the direct descendants of some Russian circus dogs purchased by a member of the English gentry, Sir Dudley Marjoribanks, later the first Lord Tweedmouth.
The Golden Retriever was bred by Sir Dudley Marjoribanks at his Scottish estate Guisachan in the late nineteenth century. He cross-bred Flat-coated Retrievers with Tweed Water Spaniels, with some further infusions of Red Setter, Labrador Retriever and Bloodhound.
There are huge differences of opinion as to when dachshunds were specifically bred for their purpose of hunting badger, as the American Kennel Club states the dachshund was bred in the 15th century, while the Dachshund Club of America states that foresters bred the dogs in the 18th or 19th century.
The Golden Retriever breed originated in the Scottish Highlands in the late 19th century. The breed was developed by Lord Tweedmouth, who bred the dogs for hunting purposes. He wanted a Retriever breed that was strong, intelligent, and had a good nose for retrieving game.
Dachshunds came to the United States of America in the mid to late 1800s. The AKC recognized the breed in 1885. They became very fashionable but had a popularity crisis when World War I broke out against Germany.
