At the height of the 80's "greed is good" era, Golden Retrievers were the pet of choice for many Yuppies, Sloane Rangers, and anyone else who drove a Range Rover. As a Kennel Club Registered breed, the middle class were the lowest group most likely to be able to afford to own one with a pedigree. And as such a Golden Retriever would be referred to as a Yuppie Puppy.
