Did lord tweed mouth develop the golden retriever?

Yes, Lord Tweedmouth is credited with developing the Golden Retriever breed in the late 19th century. He aimed to create a highly skilled hunting dog that could retrieve game from both water and land. By selectively breeding the now-extinct Yellow Retriever with other breeds such as the Tweed Water Spaniel and Bloodhound, he established the characteristics that define Golden Retrievers today. His work laid the foundation for the breed's popularity as a family pet and service dog.
