Yes, Lord Tweedmouth is credited with developing the Golden Retriever breed in the late 19th century. He aimed to create a highly skilled hunting dog that could retrieve game from both water and land. By selectively breeding the now-extinct Yellow Retriever with other breeds such as the Tweed Water Spaniel and Bloodhound, he established the characteristics that define Golden Retrievers today. His work laid the foundation for the breed's popularity as a family pet and service dog.
The Golden Retriever breed was started in 1868 when a man named Lord Tweedmouth crossbred a yellow retriever with a Tweed Water Spaniel. Flat-coated retrievers, Irish setters and Bloodhounds also played a part in the Golden's lineage http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/1662019/the_golden_retriever_americas_favorite.html?cat=38
The names of the first Golden Retrievers are Crocus, Cowslip, Ada and Primrose. All four of them are in the same litter of Nous, a Flat-coated Retriever, and Belle, A Tweed Water Spaniel.
They weren't exactly found but they were bred by Lord Tweedmouth by breeding other breeds of dogs together. They were bred in Scotland and the flat coated retriever, tweed water spaniel and the blood hound were some of the breeds bred together.
The golden retriever was developed in the late 19th century in Scotland, primarily for retrieving game during hunting. Breeders combined the now-extinct Yellow Retriever with the Tweed Water Spaniel, Bloodhound, and Irish Setter to create a versatile, intelligent, and friendly dog. Their domestication focused on enhancing traits such as loyalty, trainability, and a gentle temperament, making them ideal companions and service animals. Today, golden retrievers are popular family pets and excel in roles such as therapy and assistance dogs.
Perhaps the breed that most resembles the Labrador Retriever is the Golden Retriever, both sharing a similar appearance and personality. However, these two breeds are actually distant descendants. The Labrador Retriever is bred down from the now-extinct Lesser St. John's Dog, while the Golden Retriever is the result of a cross of the Flat-coated Retriever and the now-extinct Tweed Water Spaniel, mixed with other breeds in its ancestry such as the Irish Setter and the Bloodhound. Some other breeds that look like the Labrador Retriever are the Flat-coated Retriever, Curly-coated Retriever and Chesapeake Bay Retriever. However, the Lab's closest relative is the Newfoundland. Although now having a very different size, they both probably descended from St. John's Dog.

The Tweed River forms the border between Queensland and New South Wales at its mouth. The majority of the Tweed is in New South Wales. Though irrelevant to the question, there is also a Tweed River in the UK, and one in New Zealand.

In Spanish, "tweed" can be translated as "tweed" or "tejido de tweed."
This is a short history lesson but it answers the question: The golden retriever breed started out with Lord Tweedmouth cross-breeding a Tweed Water Spaniel (now extinct) and a blackwavy-coated retriever. The litter produced all black puppies except for one golden puppy. This puppy would become the base for all golden retrievers. So... the first golden retriever was gold and all goldens have been since.
