Anybody knows A LOT about Golden Retrievers?

Question

I need to know which kind of Golden Retriever is the one that keeps a stylish, young-looking face even until it grows old. Because there is one type of Golden Retriever that has more of falling face, and drools a bit; specially as they grow older. OK, I need to know which type is the first one. It's also normally very light gold colour shade and it doesn't drool as much as the other one. Thanks

Answer 1

HI Hope I can help you and lead you in the right direction.

No matter what look your after they are all Golden's. The colors come in very light golden to a very dark almost reddish Golden. My Guy in my picture is considered a med. colored Golden. I do have a lighter Golden boy here with me also.
Now is seems that your in either the UK, Canada or Australia.

Now the Golden in my picture is a block headed, stocky Golden. He is 24" to the shoulder and is 85 pounds. My other Golden is also a block headed, squared face Golden with a blunt muzzle. He is 24 1/2" to the shoulder and is 90 pounds. Difference between the 2 are that one had a bigger bone structure than the other but their weight and conformation are about the same. These are the look of Golden's I prefer and bred. Now if your looking for the sleeker Goldens than well tthey are out there but I personally don't like the more pointed muzzle and oval heads and longer legs. I feel this type of Golden goes to far away from the breed standard.
As far as show Golens vs sporting Golden's yes their is a difference in their drives but they should not look so different form each other. This where the Good Doctor and I dissagree.
You should take your time and look for the Golden you want and make sure you see the parents. It will be a very good indicator of what the pup will look like when a Adult. Hip, eye, and elbow certifications I feel are a must for the parent's of the pup.
No matter what you want to do with your Golden they are the most wonderful dogs going.
Good luck with your search and I can be of any further help just e-mail me. OK

Thanks Dobiegang for staring this question.

The only difference in Golden Retrievers is the colour - ranging from a very pale creamy colour to a very dark gold colour. The darker colour shows the age more as the hair will turn white with age, just like human hair. If you are concerned about the dog looking it's age then buy a paler dog. A lot of dogs drool more as they age - but for Goldens some will and some won't. I'm wondering if you have confused another type of retriever with the Golden Retriever. They are wonderfully good natured dogs and very faithful companions.

Answer 3

Are you talking about a Labrador Retriever? Because there is only one type of Golden Retriever and that is a Golden Retriever. Labs and Golden's are two different breeds. What are you talking about here?

Answer 4

There is only one correct type of Golden Retriever:

If you are interested in buying a Golden Retriever, you need to research breeders who are producing typical, well bred healthy puppies.
What you describe is not a "type" it's just an example of a dog who is not a good example of the breed. Coat colour is only cosmetic & any type of Golden Retriever can come in any of the acceptable shades of gold.

Answer 5

There are no different types of golden retreivers! It's simply one breed. The goldie's coat ranges from a very pale cream colour to a dark golden, it's not unusual for a puppies coat to darken as it matures. As for the face, some do have droopier jowles then other but not to the point of extremeity. If your considering this gorgeous breed, then you need to do alot more homework before buying one!

Answer 6

There is only one type of Golden Retriever registered with the Kennel club. However, you probably refer to the difference between the working and show types:
- the show type is stocky, broad faced and pale coloured
- the working type is slimmer with darker colouring

You want the show type. You may contact the kennel club and ask for breeders of Golden Retiever that actually show their dogs and you'll have what you need.
