We received lots of great ideas for the collective noun for Golden Retrievers.
We particularly liked virginiaplantation’s suggestion of a Golden Ring; and were very taken with thecompleteguidetoOscar’s idea of a Packet of Golden Wonder.
And Liz’s suggestion of a Waggle and her explanation for it made us chuckle.
Gunta’s idea of a Gift was lovely too — she was honest enought to admit it came from a list of breed-specific collective noun ideas on another site, and we really enjoyed reading through them, so thanks for posting the link, Gunta.
Courier M, who had the original idea for the post, is a serious Golden Retriever fan. His own suggestion was a Gorgeousness. Hard to argue with that!
Thanks to everyone who took part.
And for all you Golden Retriever lovers, here’s a blog by The Daily Golden where you can get a serious fix.
Thanks!
It was fun, I enjoyed it
cute website. off to check them out.
We live in Golden Retriever land. Practically every house in the community has a Golden Retriever or a Golden Lab. Very popular color for those sweet, friendly and lick your face dogs.
We like. They’re happy dogs too.
How about a little more chocolate and vanilla color in the mix? Or Oreo black & white?Maggie s a great hugger and lick your face girl too. He he
It’s spooky when every dog is the same
That’s why we like diversity!
The Gorgeousness kind of fits perfectly. I think A Golden Ring of Gorgeousness explains them the best.
the combination works so much better
