This is our pen-and-ink golden retriever on a striped deck chair under a striped umbrella, somewhere between Antibes and Menton, with absolutely nowhere to be.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe golden retriever was made in Scotland, not on the Riviera. In 1868 Dudley Marjoribanks, later Lord Tweedmouth, bred a yellow wavy-coated retriever named Nous to a Tweed water spaniel named Belle at his Guisachan estate in the Highlands, and kept the yellow puppies. The Kennel Club recognized the breed in 1913, the American Kennel Club in 1925, and it has sat near the top of the popularity lists ever since - the dog that greets burglars, retrieves things nobody threw, and considers every stranger a friend it hasn't met.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat temperament is the joke and the point. Put a golden on a Mediterranean beach and he does exactly what he does at home: finds the most comfortable spot, makes himself the center of it, and waits for you to notice. This ornament is for that dog. Celebrate the golden who runs your house, or keep one close on the tree every December. It opens our \u003cem\u003eDogs of the South of France\u003c\/em\u003e series - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/merlinclassics.store\/collections\/la-collection-des-chiens-de-la-cote-d-azur\" style=\"color:inherit;text-decoration:underline;text-decoration-thickness:1px;text-underline-offset:3px;text-decoration-color:#9ca3af;\"\u003eLa Collection des Chiens de la Côte d’Azur\u003c\/a\u003e - one breed at a time on holiday.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe art is our own drawing, printed on a three-inch faceted crystal glass round and white-backed so the ink lines read sharp against a lit tree; the spritz is the only color in the picture.
