# Talk:Golden Retriever

Add: Canadian history One of the first kennels to sell British Golden retrievers was Northlands in Warren, Ontario. The owner, Louis Baker started importing the British Golden in 1957 and his daughter-in-law, Jutta Baker started showing the Northland Goldens at the Sportsman's Show in Toronto where she won best of breed in consecutive years as the only Golden in the show. <ref: personal history author Peter Baker> 142.126.134.139 (talk) 20:21, 12 July 2022 (UTC)

 Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. This needs to be covered in reliable secondary sources to demonstrate that it is WP:DUE and actually happened. We're unable to accept personal anecdotes as reliable sources. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 20:35, 12 July 2022 (UTC)
Ask the Diefenbaker foundation as to where the Prime Minister acquired his Golden. None of what has been provided can be disproved as all is factual to which I am willing to sign any affidavit from any jurisdiction. Greenstrider (talk) 20:24, 29 July 2023 (UTC)

Instead of "Scottish breed of retriever dog of medium size,"
Scottish retriever is a dog breed of medium size. Quissie (talk) 14:19, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

You want 'Scottish retriever is a dog breed of medium size' to be in the introduction? Traumnovelle (talk) 18:37, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
 Not done: I'm afraid I have to disagree with this. Merely searching "Scottish retriever" seems to prove minimal relevant results. (Google) I can't say this dog is often referred to as the "Scottish retriever". However, it is a dog breed of Scottish origin. So, to me, the current introduction is fine.

The entire article includes incorrect capitalization of both words, “Golden Retriever.” This is grammatically incorrect according to MLA, AP, and Wikipedia styleguides. My edit was reverted with a note saying I need to request an RM. I am new to editing Wikipedia and don’t understand why a straightforward correction of a patent grammatical error would be controversial or how to go about requesting an RM.

MOS:COMMONNAMES says "Names of standardized animal breeds should generally retain the capitalization used in the breed standards (German Shepherd)." The breed standards from the American Kennel Club, the United Kennel Club and the Golden Retriever Club of Canada all capitalize both words of the breed name. So I think the article as it currently stands is correct. CodeTalker (talk) 19:03, 9 July 2025 (UTC)

I think you should add an external link to the American Kennel Club Golden Retriever page to the first word "Golden Retriever" -https://www.akc.org/dog-breeds/golden-retriever/ CapFlow (talk) 14:30, 12 August 2025 (UTC)

 Not done: Generally, external links in the prose of the article are avoided.  Links to the kennel club standards are included in the infobox. Link to the AKC standards are in footnote 14.   meamemg (talk) 15:45, 12 August 2025 (UTC)
