I wanted an image of golden retrievers arrayed on a Utah desert landscape in the manner of Holsteins on Wisconsin farmland.

This desire arose in the context of making a 10-point list on the topic of Utah's consideration of whether to make the golden retriever the official state domestic animal. Sean Gleeson responded with this "photo of a pack of wild Utah golden retrievers in Bryce Canyon, where their natural coloration helps them blend with the orange cliffs."

Isn't at least one (on the middle right) a Lab?

I believe that is the Deseret Ring-Necked Golden Retriever, which is often mistaken for a Labrador.

Don't try and understand 'em, just round 'em up and brand 'em!

Golden Retrievers are attention whores who are easily bored. They will shit on your carpet and dig deep holes in your backyard if they don't get the enormous amounts of attention they feel they deserve.

I can see why politicians relate to this animal.

The one in the middle looks like a polygamist.

Everyone knows it's Windy."

(I actually thought that was what the lyric was when I was a kid, and didn't understand the Mormon-capturing bit at all.)

There's also a long haired dachshund tucked up next to the Retriever at the lower left corner.
