Mrs Sawtell (of Yeo, UK) (1914-2009)
"When I look back on the breed as I remember it in 1938 when I obtained my first Golden Retriever, it could really be said that Goldens were "Golden". it seems to me that, not only with regard to colour, they have altered out of all recognition. What was an athletic, vigorous, sporting type of dog has far too often become a heavy, sluggish animal, often overdone in bone and substance."
Mrs Sawtell also made the famous quote "I do not do white."
The picture below was taken in 1934. The late great Mrs Charlesworth (Noranby) is seated second from the left.
