Here are 10 golden retriever facts that will only make you love them more. 1. Golden Retrievers Are a Noble Breed The breed came into existence in the 19th century mainly due to the efforts of Lord Tweedmouth.

They are Guinness World Record Holders There are at least two golden retrievers in the world who are known Guinness World Record holders. The first one is for the loudest bark (beating even a chainsaw at 113.1 decibels), and the other is for the most number of tennis balls held in a dog’s mouth (five).
