I thank you for taking the time to read about English Golden Retrievers. The information here is comprised largely of material that the American Kennel Club sets out as a standard for the Golden Retriever breed in the US as well as the standard set by the Kennel Club of the United Kingdom. We have also incorporated knowledge that we have gained in our years as breeders. Whether you buy a English Golden Retriever from us or a kennel, it is important that you have this information and use it when making such an important decision both for yourself and for your new family member.

An important attribute that brings such high level of attention to the English Golden Retriever is their known disposition. For more than a century the Golden Retriever has been a family dog whose gentle nature and loving ways has enabled it to be a trusted friend and family companion, always patient with children and faithfully acting as a loyal protector to their family; while at the same time it’s intelligence and powerful athleticism has allowed it to be a working dog, whether in the hunting field, tracking in rescue work, guiding for the blind, during therapy work, or excelling in confirmation shows and agility trials.

The English Golden Retriever was originally designed to be primarily a hunting dog in Scotland. The terrain types for this type of hunting were fields and wetland, lakes and rivers and usually dense undergrowth. The coat should be dense and not too short but it should also not be too long. Too much coat does not help the dog in swimming and running through the bush and it will carry too much weight when wet. The outer coat sheds thorns and brambles in the field, and the undercoat offers protection from icy waters; a balanced, symmetrical dog that works equally well on land and water, while remaining highly pleasing to the eye; a dog strong enough to perform as a retriever of game and water fowl, yet not so big that it rocks the boat from which it works. Above all, the dog should cheerfully do these things for every member of the family.

American Or English "European"? ~ Actually there is only one Golden Retriever breed. However, in different countries through the evolution of breeding practices, and the development of various breed standards that pertain to certain countries, there have evolved two different types of Golden Retrievers available to Golden Retriever lovers. What is referred to as the “American Bred Golden Retriever” and the “ English Bred Golden Retrievers.” There are minor differences set forth by the American Kennel Club and the Kennel Club of the United Kingdom relating to the colors and sizes of the Golden Retriever. A listing of them are as follows:

American English

Height at withers Male 23-24” Male 22-24”

Height at withers Female 21.5-22.5” Female 20-22”

WeightMale 65-75 lbs. Not specified

WeightFemale 55-65 lbs. Not specified

Color Rich, lustrous golden of Any shade of gold or

various shades. cream, neither red nor

mahogany.

These differences notwithstanding, the most important breed characteristic still remains, they should all possess a true Golden Retriever temperament; gentle, friendly and loyal. The pigment on their noses, the pads of their feet, their gums and their under belly skin should be black. Their general appearance should be symmetrical, balanced, active, powerful, sound with kindly expression. Temperament kind, friendly and confident. Head and skull balanced and well chiseled, skull broad without coarseness, well set on neck, muzzle powerful, wide and deep, blending smooth and strongly into skull. Their eyes should be friendly and intelligent in expression, dark brown, set well apart, dark rims. Ears rather short, set on approximate level with eyes, and when pulled forward, tip of ear should just cover the eye. Jaws strong, with a regular and complete scissor bite. Neck good length, clean and muscular. Coat dense and water-repellent with good undercoat. Outer coat firm and resilient, may be straight or wavy. Forequarters straight with good bone, shoulders well laid back. Elbows close fitting. Body balanced, short-coupled, deep through the heart, ribs deep, well sprung. Hindquarters broad and strongly muscled. Gait powerful with good drive.

Golden Retriever owners should give their dogs enough exercise to keep them fit and to run off the ebullience that is their birthright. Obedience training is also important for Golden Retrievers. However training a Golden Retriever is normally an easy job. They are willing and eager to please.
