Decked in Santa hats and ribbons, Argentine golden retrievers chase world record.

BUENOS AIRES, Dec 8 (Reuters) - Hundreds of golden retrievers packed a Buenos Aires park on Monday as the South American country looks to break the world record for the largest number of the silky golden-haired dogs gathered in a single place.

Dubbed the "Golden Wave", the gathering began on social media and rapidly snowballed into a mass get-together in the capital's Bosques de Palermo park.


Golden retrievers of all ages — from excitable puppies playing in the mud to more mature canines roaming in Santa hats and fairy costumes — filled the park as owners sat drinking yerba mate, a typical Argentine drink, and taking pictures.

Duperre said he believed at least 2,000 dogs had gathered on Monday. "Definitely, at first glance we'll surpass Vancouver," he said.
