As early as 1800, prey was very abundant in England and Scotland. Hunting back then was not just for sport but a practical way to obtain food. The hunting dog came into their life due to the desire for a medium-sized dog that was good at hunting water and land prey. During the development of the Golden Retriever, a Tweed Water Spaniel was used, as well as a smaller Newfoundland, and other cross-breed dogs were the Irish Setter and some other Water Spaniels. Hunting in the water is very important. The hunter needs a strong dog that can withstand cold water, a good swimmer, and vegetation that can withstand the thorns when hunting land game. Some oil paintings in the British Museum also show dogs similar to golden retrievers, and many portrait painters of the time often painted their favorite dogs. There is an advocated direct breeding program to breed dogs with the characteristics of yellow-coated retrievers. People use Tweed water spaniels, hardy dogs, to hunt for them. This type of dog is derived from a rough-tempered water spaniel because of their bravery, intelligence and ability to hunt prey in all conditions. Its impact on the development of golden retrievers cannot be ignored. By the end of the 19th century, retrievers such as yellow or golden retrievers became popular in Britain. The first golden retriever to win a field test appeared in 1904. The Golden Retriever was first shown at the British Crystal Palace Show in 1908 and was included in the wire-haired dog breeds. Other dogs (also grouped together as wire-haired breeds) were shown in 1909 and 1913. In 1913, they were divided according to color and shown as Golden or Yellow Retrievers. Some enthusiasts established the British Golden Retriever Club. Many tourists visit the United States with their dogs, which is why it is known that golden retrievers were discovered in the United States and Canada in 1890. This was between 1920 and 1930, when golden retrievers were brought to the east and west coasts of the United States from Britain and Canada. The Golden Retriever was first registered by the American Kennel Club in November 1925. Golden retrievers that were registered before this period were all registered according to color classification. In Canada, they were first registered as a breed in 1927. From 1930 to 1940, the Golden Retriever developed further in the United States (the American Golden Retriever Club was established in 1938). Although this breed is often seen in the show ring, it is primarily used as a hunting dog. Dog owners made great efforts to make those dog breeders carefully breed healthy and good-looking dogs for them as hunting dogs to meet the large demand for such dogs for competition at that time. As a result, more and more breeders of these dogs are showing their dogs in the show ring. In 1936, in England and Scotland, the breed's standards were changed to accept darker or lighter dogs. As more and more dogs were exported from England and Scotland to the United States to meet the demand for the breed there, the lighter colored dogs were brought over along with the darker colored dogs. Very light-colored dogs are not very popular in the show ring in the United States, with the possible exception of those dogs of this breed that win shows, and their victory may be due to some other excellent quality. Since the American public has different opinions on light-colored dogs, field testers and hunters have taken this as a rule that a dog does not fully meet the standard. The American Golden Retriever Club and other countries are actively taking measures to protect this breed as much as possible.

Today, Golden Retrievers are successfully used for field testing, hunting, obedience training, and as personal companions and guide dogs. Because of its sensitive nose suitable for searching and tracking, it is also used in other fields, including searching for narcotics. The first three dogs to win the AKC Obedience Championship in July 1977 were all Golden Retrievers. The first place is the female dog, and the other two are male dogs.

Both male and female dogs perform well in field tests and hunting. Their size, their submissive temperament and their desire for admiration are the fundamental reasons why the Golden Retriever has grown so rapidly in popularity
