Buenos Aires Golden Retriever Meetup Claims World Record After Thousands Gather

Organizers claim to have exceeded Canada's 1,685-dog mark without seeking Guinness verification.

Overview

  • The informal meetup filled Plaza Berlín in the Bosques de Palermo on Monday after a one-day rain delay.
  • Organizer and influencer Fausto Duperré said more than 2,000 golden retrievers attended, with a goal of topping 2,500.
  • Ten designated counters are compiling a final tally, which has not yet been released.
  • Duperré considered Guinness certification but declined over the reported USD 38,000 fee.
  • Basic rules required leashes and identification and a pet-food drive ran alongside the event, while city authorities kept routine oversight.
