Brutus the Golden Retriever

The Golden Retriever originated in Great Britain. This is a versatile breed that does well in obedience trials, agility, hunting, and leading the blind.

The Golden Retriever standard says this breed should be 21 to 24 inches at the shoulder and 60 to 75 pounds. Many Golden Retrievers in the United States are taller and weigh more than this. Brutus is a very large dog. He weighs well over 100 pounds and is not overweight.

Golden Retrievers make excellent pets. Their long golden coats make them very beautiful. This breed is good with children and gets along well with other pets.
