Over A Number of years, the gatherings have taken place every five years and dates have fallen on milestone anniversaries, including.
The First litter of golden retrievers was born in 1868 to a Tweed water spaniel, a breed now extinct, and yellow wavy-coated retriever.
The Puppies were called Primrose, Cowslip and Crocus. Some histories of The Breed report The Litter having four pups.
