The UK record for the most golden retrievers in one place has been broken.
The meeting of 466 dogs was recorded at Guisachan House in Glen Affric – where the world’s first golden retrievers were born in 1868.
The earlier British record of 361 was set at the same place five years ago.
Sir Dudley Marjoribanks first bred golden retrievers, to find a dog well suited the Highlands’ terrain.
Tom Gorrian, chairman of the Golden Retriever Club of Scotland, said:
“It was a fantastic day, everybody loved it.
“Despite some really heavy showers we’ve counted 466, which we believe is the most ever in the UK.”
Golden retrievers have become on the world’s most popular dogs.
Carol Henry, secretary of the Golden Retriever Club of Scotland, said:
“The aim of the gathering was to keep alive knowledge of the breed.
“We want to hold on to the confidence, the biddability, the companionship and loyalty – all the things the golden retriever was built on.”
The dogs and their owners from more than 12 countries were at the meet – some having travelled from the US, Canada, and New Zealand.
