retrievers
Dogs that fetch
Retrievers are dogs bred to retrieve game for hunters, especially waterfowl.
The term covers several breeds—golden retrievers, Labrador retrievers, Chesapeake Bay retrievers—all known for soft mouths that carry without damaging.
Their trainability and gentle temperament have made them popular family pets: Golden retrievers are America's most popular breed.
