A golden moment – adventures in canine aesthetics

What is better than a Golden Retriever dog? Two golden retrievers! Believe it or not, the two golden retrievers in this photo are cousins (of sorts). They met accidentally during a photoshoot we had recently. Turns out, they are from the same breeder. I’d say he is doing a pretty consistent job since both dogs are gorgeous and have wonderful temperaments…

Bonus: they both fit perfectly with the wonderful honey-colored Autumn scenery….

A brief history of the Golden retrievers, if you are curious:

In the early 1800s, game was plentiful in England and Scotland, and hunting was both a sport and a practical way of obtaining food. Retrievers came into prominence because of the desire for a medium-sized dog that would do well in wild-fowling, both upland game and waterfowl. Records kept from 1850 to 1890 at the Guisachan estate of Dudley Marjoribanks, first Lord Tweedmouth, near Inverness, Scotland, record the development of the original strain of Golden Retrievers.
