Best Answer

Because it is a Proper Noun. ( This answer is WRONG: According to Merriam-Webster, Dog Breeds are common nouns, therefore golden retriever, beagle, collie and most others are lowercase, unless they have a proper noun in their title (e.g., Yorkshire terrier or German shepherd.)

All names of dog breeds should be capitalized because as stated above they are proper nouns. Word document goes by different rules. If a dog breed name has 2 separate names in it, then both should be capitalized such as "Labrador Retriever", "Golden Retriever", "Springer Spaniel", etc.
