Buenos Aires Gathering Claims Informal Record With 2,397 Golden Retrievers

Organizers say the tally is an informal mark because volunteers, not officials, handled registration.

Overview

  • The “Golden Wave” meetup filled Bosques de Palermo on Monday as thousands responded to a social-media call.
  • Event organizer Fausto Duperre announced a final count of 2,397, topping last year’s Vancouver total of 1,685.
  • Volunteer teams in yellow vests roved the park with clipboards to register each dog before the total was announced.
  • Owners traveled from across Argentina, many with costumed pets, creating a family-friendly scene under summer skies.
  • Several attendees said worries about chaos or lost dogs proved unfounded, describing a gentle, well-run gathering.
