The White Golden Retriever

For the average dog lovers, golden retrievers can range from a light creamy color of dark mahogany red or almost black. Golden retriever experts understand that the differences that come with the color of gold and goldens are specific to Europe and America.

White golden retrievers are given by many different names, including English cream golden retrievers, english golden retrievers, the golden retrievers, blonde golden retrievers, golden retrievers British cream, white goldens, platinum blond or light goldens golden retrievers. These names are primarily used in America to differentiate between the Kennel Club Standard for British golden retrievers and those that were bred in America. Although purebred white golden retrievers can be registered with the American Kennel Club, there are a lot of differences between American and European golden retrievers. The biggest obvious difference is the color of their coats. American golden retriever standards require different shades of gold. Both very pale or very dark color of spam while the European standard requirement for every shade of gold or cream, but not red or mahogany.

The consistency of their coat differ from the American golden retrievers to the white European golden retrievers. Early goldens were specifically bred to be hunting dogs. They were expected to be able to withstand cold climates, run through underbrush and make their way across lakes and rivers. Goldens coats should be dense but not too long and not too short. American goldens tend to have longer fur and many of them have too much coat. American and European golden differences also are apparent in their body structure. White golden retrievers tend to have a larger mouth with a longer nose then their American cousins. They are also stockier in body structure with heads that are more block shaped. The American Kennel Club allows for lighter amber colored eyes compared to the European Kennel Club where such a feature would be penalized. Their ears are different as well. The American Kennel Club wants their goldens to have ears well behind and above the level of the dog’s eyes while the European Kennel Club wants the ears at same level of the eyes. This also causes two very different looks between these two standards.

White Golden Retrievers are laid back, happy, intelligent and love all humans. Because of these qualities, they are in great demand by dog lovers and pet owners alike. They are full of energy, great with kids and other pets and are willing and eager to please their owners. With the different amount of names given to white golden retrievers, it shows a huge interest in the dogs in the United States.
