Scotland was home to a variety of working dogs from as early the 13th and 14th centuries, probably even earlier. The majority were indigenous to the location, supplemented with a handful of breeds brought by traders, visitors and invaders.
This is a truly Scottish breed, originating there during the 19th century, born out of retrievers who were traditionally used as hunting companions across the Highlands and beyond. Born in Scotland and imported to the USA at 12 weeks old, Tay comes from a long history of working goldens. Her breeder is very active training and using her team as picking up goldens for game birds. Tay is currently working on her JH title 2025
