Harrison breed is Golden Retriever where historically developed as a gundog to retrieve shot waterfowl and upland game during hunting. Because of them intelligence and versatility, they have employed in a variety of roles including illegal drug detection, search and rescue, as hunting dogs and as guide dogs. They are friendly, eager-to-please and patient demeanor has also made it one of the most popular family dogs in the world today.

Golden Retriever family history, they breed was originally developed in Scotland and England at “Guisachan” near Glen Affric, the highland estate of Sir Dudley Marjoribanks, later Baron Tweedmouth. For many years, there was controversy over which breeds were originally crossed. In 1952, the publication of Majoribanks breeding record from 1835 to 1890 dispelled the myth concerning the purchase of a whole troupe of Russian sheepdogs from a visiting circus. Improvements in guns during the 1800s resulted in more fowl being downed during hunts at greater distances and over increasingly difficult terrain. This led to more birds being lost in the field. Because of this improvement in firearms, a need for a specialist retriever arose as training setter and pointer breeds in retrieval was found to be ineffective. Thus work began on the breeding of the Golden Retriever to fill this role.

Golden Retriever family health record, the median life span for they breed is approximately 10 to 12 years and we will do very well in small living areas at least 500 sq. feet. While the breed is recognized for its vitality, many of retrievers are susceptible to specific ailments. A responsible breeder will proactively minimize the risk of illness by having the health of dogs in breeding pairs professionally assessed and selected on the basis of complementary traits.
