Golden Retriever Gathering in Scotland Marks Breed's 155th Anniversary
Hundreds of Golden Retrievers gathered in the Scottish highlands at the ruins of Guisachan House, where the breed was first bred 155 years ago. Dogs from around the world, including Australia, Japan, and North America, joined the event organized by the Golden Retriever Club of Scotland. The highlight was a mile-long procession of Goldens led by a bagpipe-playing Scotsman. The event aimed to promote the history and tradition of proper Golden breeding and maintain the breed's characteristics of confidence, biddability, companionship, and loyalty.
