Golden Retriever

The lovable Labrador Retriever is no longer the most popular dog breed in the United States, as French Bulldogs take over the top spot, the American Kennel Club (AKC) announced on March 15.

Labs, which the New York-based registry describes as "famously friendly" and "an enthusiastic athlete," had been the most popular dog breed for 31 years prior to 2022.

Heart-warming footage of an over-protective golden retriever refusing to let its owner shake hands with her puppy has emerged on social media.

Şenol Özbakan, a former deck-man who adopts abandoned golden retriever dogs in the western province of Muğla's Bodrum district, has thousands of followers on his social media accounts thanks to his "Golden Gang." 

The 56-year-old Özbakan, who lives with his 13 dogs in his old minibus parked in Bodrum's industrial site, draws attention for his life. 

Abandoned Golden Retrievers living on the streets of the Aegean holiday resort town of Marmaris are being sent to England to be adopted as part of an initiative carried out by a Scottish town resident.  

Golden Retrievers abandoned on the streets of Istanbul are being sent to the US to find forever homes there.

Dozens of abandoned golden retrievers "rescued" from Turkey have arrived in Atlanta, U.S. media has reported, adding that English interpreters were hired to help them in their new life.
