Golden Retrievers are described as exceptionally friendly, highly intelligent and devoted to their hoomans. They also love water and fall into the sporting group of dogs, hunting both waterfowl and land birds.
Golden Retrievers originated in Scotland, bred for hunting. In fact, they date back to 1835 where gamekeepers at the Guisachan estate of Lord Tweedmouth at Inverness-Shire first documented their success. They also make wonderful guide dogs for the blind and successful search-and-rescue workers, according to the American Kennel Club.

Kansas City breeders Heritage Golden Retrievers love their selected breed and regularly produce pups that are hard-working and regularly earn accolades at dog shows. Their dogs also make wonderful companions.
“Heritage’s goal is to produce Goldens that are wonderful representatives of the breed, whether involved in competition or as a loved family pet. Heritage raises golden retrievers because we love this breed and have a commitment to maintaining its integrity for future generations. We maintain a very selective breeding program with an emphasis on quality, not quantity. Litters are planned years in advance with careful consideration to health, longevity, temperament, conformation and maintaining high levels of trainability. Our breeding philosophy is to produce puppies with the versatility to excel at anything asked of them. Whether it is a faithful companion, future show champion, agility partner, search and rescue, or service dog, our dogs can do it all.”
Their litters of precious pups are born from parents whose hips and elbows have been registered with the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals and are free from genetic hip and elbow disease. They have their eyes cleared yearly by a board-certified ophthalmologist. Their hearts have been examined by a board-certified cardiologist and are certified to be free of congenital cardiac disease.

They’re also typical puppies who just so happen to adore being in the water. The owner at Heritage Golden Retrievers had set up a blue plastic baby pool so their litter of five-week-old rolly polly furbabies could frolic in the water and further develop their ingrained love of the water.
However, when the babies poured out of the house and scampered over to the small pool, they were sorely disappointed when they hopped inside.
There was no water!

We can see them whimpering and whining, pining away for their water as they circled around and around inside the pool.
They sniffed all about and climbed on top of each other, but couldn’t stop whining over the fact that their swimming pool lacked one important element – the water!
They waited very impatiently for someone to flow some sparkling crisp water into the pool, but finally give up. One by one they climb out, frustrated at not having any water in their pool.

The owner explained that they had emptied the puppy’s swimming pool in order to clean it.
“As you can see the puppies had a fit and couldn’t understand why their pool didn’t have water like it usually does. Their favorite thing every morning is to run out of the house into their pool. There is nothing like a gang of angry five-week-old Golden Retriever puppies to get your morning started! You’ll be glad to know the pool was promptly filled and the puppies are happy campers again! They are just a little spoiled!”
Watch the adorable video below and listen to these cutie pies’ temper tantrum when they realize there’s no more water in their pool. How endearing are they?
