Buenos Aires Golden Retriever Gathering Claims Unofficial World Record With 2,397 Dogs

Guinness recognition remains pending following a volunteer-run count by influencer Fausto Duperré's team.

Overview

  • The social-media-driven 'Ola dorada' meetup drew thousands to Bosques de Palermo’s Plaza Berlín on Dec. 8 after a rain delay.
  • Organizers say ten volunteer counters registered arrivals throughout the day before announcing a final total of 2,397 golden retrievers.
  • The reported tally would surpass the widely cited Vancouver benchmark of 1,685 set in 2018.
  • Guinness World Records has not validated the claim, which requires documentary evidence and a review that can take weeks or months.
  • The informal, self-managed gathering enforced leashes and ID tags and ran a pet-food collection, and organizers said they did not pursue Guinness’s paid certification, cited at $38,000.
