History of the Golden Retriever breed
History
The story of the breed began when Dudley Coutts Marjoribanks inherited a substantial fortune, and bought a mansion in London ‘Brook House’
His hobby for many years, the prevailing origin story was that Marjoribanks purchased a group of Russian circus dogs, and started breeding the famous, yellow-coated dogs from there
On a walk with his son in Brighton in 1865, Marjoribanks came across a wavy-coated dog named Nous. Belonging to a cobbler who had gotten him from an employee of a local nobleman to settle a debt, Nous had black parents but was himself gold-coloured
Three years after Marjoribanks acquired him, Nous was bred to Belle, a Tweed Water Spaniel that Marjoribanks had been given by his cousin. Now extinct, Tweed spaniels were liver-colored
It was an inspired combination, crossing a retriever to a water spaniel to create a robust hunter capable of navigating both land and water to hunt
Marjoribanks’ famous 1868 litter contained the florally monikered puppies who are considered the world’s first Golden Retrievers, the puppies were named Cowslip, Crocus and Primrose
