Board Of Directors Meeting

Meet The Current
CEO
Of Amaranth Publishing
&
The Creator

Sadie

Sadie,
a 7 year old Golden Retriever is the current CEO of Amaranth
Publishing. A picture of our CEO hangs on
the front office wall, next to a picture of our last CEO, Ginger
(pictured at the right), our wonderful Golden Retriever who
recently passed away. While the day to day operations of Amaranth
Publishing are carried out by her human companions, Sadie often spends the day at the office to
supervise the goings on................

Above you can see a picture of CEO Sadie, hard at work at
the office.
But
normally, time is spent on more important pursuits such as
chasing balls, walking, playing, snacking or contemplating The
Creator. The Creator of the Golden Retriever, was Sir
Dudley Majoribanks, the first Lord Tweedmouth in Scotland.
Here is a picture of Sir Dudley, The
Creator...

Sir Dudley - The Creator
The
Golden Retriever originated in Scotland in the 1860s on the
estate of Sir Dudley Majoribanks, the first Lord Tweedmouth of
Scotland. (In case you are interested, "Tweedmouth" refers
to a place in Scotland, and not a condition of Sir Dudley's
mouth or speech.) The picture at the right shows the estate
where The Creator bred the first Goldens.
Here is another picture of The Creator
One version of the story concerning Sir Dudley's
breeding of the first Goldens goes like this:
While on a visit
to Brighton on the English south coast Sir Dudley was impressed
by the intelligence of a troup of performing dogs and took
one home to Scotland. This was a large male with a gold colored
coat whom he named `Nous'. Sir Dudley mated Nous to a Tweed
water Spaniel (now-extinct), named Bette who produced four
puppies which bore similarities to today's Golden Retriever.
The picture above is believed to show Duncan McLennon,
head keeper to Sir Dudley, with two of these dogs. Bette's four
pups were named, Primrose, Cowslip, Crocus and Ada.
But
as with most situations, there are of course, two sides to
the story.
The
Russian circus dog story of origin became the accepted version
of the beginnings of the breed and appeared in the Crufts
catalogue until 1960. One of the greatest proponents of this
theory was Colonel Le Poer Trench who had his St. Hubert's
strain registered with the Kennel Club as retrievers (Russian
Yellow).
To the left is a painting of one of the Colonel's Retrievers.
At Crufts Dog show in 1913, there were classes for Goldens
and for Russian Retrievers, but only one set of C.c.'s The
best Goldens had to challenge the best Russians for the C.c.'s,
and the Russians won both of them! Pictured
at the right are the Colonel,
his brother and some of their retrievers.
There
is certainly a clear and striking resemblance between the
Russian Yellow Retrievers and the modern day Goldens. The painting
at the left is a 19th Century painting of Yellow Russian
Retrievers by artist Wright Barker (I am not kidding, his name
was "Barker" and he liked to paint dogs, barking and not barking.)
In
1960 the Crufts catalogue contained what they say are the
true origins of the breed as approved by the Kennel Club.
This history of the breed was supposedly discovered in Lord
Tweedmouth's carefully kept private stud book and notes,
first brought to light by his great-nephew, the Earl of Ilchester,
in 1952. Why
it took as long as 1952 to come to light, almost a century
after Tweedmouth's first Golden breeding experiments, is
a mystery that causes those who still believe the Russian circus
dog version of the story to shake their heads with doubt.
Here
is the mid 20th Century version of the story of the Golden
Retriever and The Creator:
In 1868 Lord Tweedmouth mated a yellow Wavy-Coated retriever
(Nous) he
had bought from a cobbler in Brighton (bred by Lord Chichester) to a Tweed
Water Spaniel (Belle) from Ladykirk on the Tweed.
These Tweed Water-Spaniels, rare except in the Border Country,
are described by authorities of the time as like a small
Retriever, liver-coloured and curly-coated. Lord Tweedmouth
methodically line-bred down from this mating between 1868 and 1890, using
another Tweed Water-Spaniel, and outcrosses of two black
Retrievers, an Irish Setter and a sandy coloured Bloodhound.
(It is now known that one of the most influential Kennels
in the first part of the century which lies behind all
present day Golden Retrievers was founded on stock bred
by Lord Tweedmouth.
Whatever
the case may be, Sir Dudley Majoribanks, Lord Tweedmouth
of Scotland, is The Creator. All Praise Sir Dudley!
