3 Types of Golden Retrievers and How to Identify Them? 

I had one for 12 years, miss him like crazy.. My once in a lifetime friend.. He was almost to sweet for this world.

I’ve had three golden retrievers over the last 50 years and they were all remarkable dogs. My current one, Griffin, is a dufus but has a heart of gold. He would rather eat French fries than steak. He has an incredible nose and can pick out a rock that I throw into the creek. He chases buzzards out of his air space. If he’s not in heaven when I get there, I’d just as soon not go.

For the past 20 years + I’ve had Golden retrievers I have so much love and respect for this breed they are the most loyal loving,goofy,animatedly funny dogs and great companions

I’ve had 2 Goldens. I am convinced that they are the most loving kind loyal sweet creatures on earth. ❤🐾🐾

I had a Golden for 12 years and we still miss Sepp very much. She was sweet and docile and so loving, and the very best friend for my youngest daughter who was born when she was about 6. It still makes me smile when I think of it. They are such beautiful and good dogs. Mine was an English Golden Retriever.

I have had 2 golden retierver's. Our first one was Buddy and when he stood on his hind legs he was over 6' tall and weight 90 pounds and about 27" high. Buddy was with us for 8 years and God took him home early. He was very smart, intimidating to strangers lol, but a total gentle loving pup and he always had a smile. Our second golden retriever was Harley. We had Harley almost 13 years and he passed 8/4/2022. He was very very smart, and through training gained "logic" and according to our vet he said this is not normal for a dog to have logic but he said Harley does. I said well I trained him and it is true. He would watch my every move and knew almost intuitively which direction I was going to go. He always had to have his eyes and ears on me it was weird and funny at the same time. He loved games and everybody he met the tail always wagged. They are absolutely perfect family dogs. They listen to everything you say PLUS they listen to the TONE in your voice and even when you don't notice and with Buddy when someone came to the door he didn't know and because he was so big and tall people would watch Buddy while they talked to me and Buddy would just stare at their eyes as if to say...don't mess with my mama LOLOL. But gosh Buddy was a GENTLE GIANT until one day I saw a guy walking past my deck and I opened the sliding glass door a little bit and said: who are you and what are you doing in my yard?? No respone...so I said it again...all of a sudden my sliding door got pushed open and Buddy went flying off the deck skipped the 4 steps to the ground, did a donut on the lawn and froze in place with his eyes on this dude. I said to the guy again ...who are you??? All he could do was freeze in place, stare at Buddy and finally gave me his name. He worked for the Electric Company and I said your friend staring at you his name is Buddy do you want to say hi??? He did and I called Buddy into the house and I was surprised the guy didn't have wet jean's when he left. LOL Needless to say Buddy got hugs, kisses and treats for protecting mama. He was so perfect it was amazing. I apologize for the length of my comment but thought somebody would enjoy it. Goldens are the Best Family dogs plus very protective without a doubt.

This was SO interesting! Thanks for sharing!

All of you golden retriever vids are so helpful!

This is really interesting. I have a 1 year and 3 months old female named Kiara, and looking at this description I think she is an American Golden retriever. Her coat is close to a light honey but her mom is really dark, like caramel. I've had 3 dogs before but this is my first Golden and I can testify the energy part, she is much more active than my other dogs and needs tons of exercise. I love her very much ❤

I have had 4 retrievers so far in my lifetime but my first retriever was a "flat coat" which are black and usually have a white snipe on thier chest. My first retriever was this flat coat type and she was every bit the same character as a golden and was a constant companion with my 2 young sons. Still miss you Lady , you were a good dog.... as they all are 🙂 My other 3 , 2 have been English and my current is Canadian....all wonderful dogs.

I love how you speak so clearly in only three minutes of video

All 3 Golden Retrievers are Beautiful!!! I ❤ them all! Have a Gold Golden- my Boy Reagan.

I have an american golden. She died at the age of 10.. Now i have a red golden.. she's 3 years old and she recently gave birth to 9 beautiful pups . And now i got one the pups.. Its a mix of red and english cream.. cute puppies and more like their english cream dad... The pups were born on valentines day 😊❤ such an unexpected gift for God 😊

I had a American Golden ❤️for 12 years, he passed away on october 2020 and I’m still very sad..but without Golden I can’t live and now I have an English Cream Golden. They are sweetie‘s; I love Goldens.❤️

Early! I'm going to get a golden puppy next year when I move to my house

My sweet baby golden passed away almost 2 years ago at 12 years old, he ruined me. I'll never have a dog like him again.

Thank you so much for giving information

First American Golden Retriever we got for our 13 year old son. Perfect. Lived 13 healthy years. Since then we have had 5 more same breed, and now have the white English cream. They are all absolutely wonderful. This one has a new things she does, if she picks something up in mouth or piece of toy, she comes to me and sits till I remove from mouth. Amazing to me.

Thanks for the video..........................enjoyed it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As others have mentioned, you left out an important type: field goldens. (I have had 3.) They are a darker gold (usually called "red"). They tend to be a little smaller. Their hair tends to be a different texture - silkier (if that is a word), not as heavy and coarse as a typical American golden. Their coat does a wonderful job of shedding mud and dirt. The head is often more narrow than the broad-headed American golden. They are more active than the average golden, if that is believable. While still incredibly friendly, they tend to be a little more task-oriented than people-oriented when compared to the other types of goldens. Often this is the type of golden that is used for hunting. (These are all generalizations; of course each golden is unique and special.)

I’m biased...best family dogs ever !!!!

I love my golden girl Summer. She’s super sweet and loving!!! Looove her to pieces!!!!!!

Ours is an American golden retriever, her name is Shiloh and is 4.5 months old. My sweet, sweet puppy love 🐕❤️.

I have a 7 year old american goldy and hes so chilll and the 2 year old British goldy is a nutt case but extremely athletic. Took him on an 8mile hike and he still wanted to go swimming after.

Thanks for the comparison!

I have a Canadian reddish golden female who is 8. Also have a 15 week old English Cream male. Yep, both are loving and active.

I am getting a Canadian Golden puppy as my birthday present and my Parents told me that they will gift me a golden pup means after 1 month at my birthday and I am going to be a first time owner, am soo much excited 🤩🤩😍❤❤

A discussion of Golden Retriever type should begin with field lines vs conformation lines.

I have a two year old American Golden Retriever female, she is a being of love.

Your Chanel is the best in the world

Thanks a lot I got to know mine is a candian golden retriever and I love him loads weather of his any type !! 😊 thnks a lot 👍

I want one of each. Best dogs in the world.

Even the brown coated color are also beautiful

Hi really like your video❤️❤️❤️ If you can pls make a video of the training of GR

Mine is the British type. I would love to have the American type too, their coats are beautiful.

There are also field or hunting golden retrievers. They tend to be more active and energetic. Maybe not as good-looking, but faster runners.

I have golden retriever puppy. Mine is American golden retriever. Very energetic and always wants to play.

My favourite… All of them 😍😍 Best breed ever 🥰 I will get one in 5 years 😆

I really love you videos, they are amazing. I love american golden retriever, and i really wish that i'll get one. Can you do a video with names of golden's?

I just got one, 2nd dog and first Golden, he is a handful, smart, but the chewing stage is way worse than my old dog and I find him very stubborn and independant. I'm hoping he chills out as he grows up.

I didn't have any puppys but i love them so much

My Golden, Logan is the sweetest dog that I've ever had he knows when I'm mad and sad and he will calm me down by jumping and licking my face and refuses to leave my side wherever I go that dog is a blessing and was sent to me by Jesus Christ himself, that dog is worth more than my education and worth more than my video games and I love him to the ends of the earth and back.

I didn't have any puppys but love i them so much

I LIKE THE MIDDLE ONE

My cousin had the first dog named max he was a American golden retriever I loved that dog and I use to have a English terrier

Are there differences in the behaviour of the 3 types?

I have 3 right now and they are the best dogs ever. I have an American and 2 English cream

In breeding seems to be happening, maybe because some feel they are trying to eliminate some of the health problems like hip issues and heart cancer and issues with the eyes. Golden Dootles are showing up all over the country, but I still like the real Golden Retrievers.

The middle dog in the thumbnail which golden retriever is that??

In the UK there are only 2 types. show and working. All the dogs in this video are show types. Heavy set, longer feathers, dome head. Working goldens are light boned, athletic, have a flatter head and shorter feathers. Colour varies in both types and doesn't distinguish anything.

Ive had 2 American golden retrievers but they both died because of age, one of them (the oldest) was named zena and she lived 2 years longer than a normal dog’s lifespan and her bones were so brittle that they ended up breaking when she tried standing up out other dog was named luna and she also died of age and i really miss them both

We've had 6. Working out way down the alphabet A Archie - Comically tried to be sneaky when he brought apples in from the back yard. Only dog I ever saw tiptoe (when in the middle of a group of 6 week old puppies) B Bailey - one of the smartest dogs we've had. Trained herself just by watching Archie. Slept on top of me when I would return from week long business trips. C Charlie - personality plus, even for a golden. She was naughty, but never bad. Very affectionate little girl D Dexter - found Dex at the humane society. We were second in line to adopt him, so we didn't think it would happen. It did happen, and it was meant to be. Dex was the MOST Mellow golden we've had. Other Goldens would tell him "dude, you are mellow"!!! He developed seizures, and we finally got him diagnosed and then got the meds he needed E Eddie - got Eddie to help fill the hole when Charlie passed. Eddie is a big, muscular girl with a BIG smile, especially first thing in the morning. Smart F Ferguson - similar story to Eddie. Filling the hole left by Dexter. Same father as Eddie, different mothers. Different types and shapes. Ferguson has pronounced black markings on his rear and hips. Black hair is a recessive gene in goldens, and rarely comes out. Training him to be a canine good citizen. Maybe be a therapy dog ALL great dogs, all different from each other. They add so much to our lives

My son has one, I'm in Canada so I assume the dog is also. Amazing smart friendly dog. Very affectionate and great with kids. Huge issue is the amount of Dog Hair....omg!

British Golden Retriever ❤️❤️❤️

All are great. I prefer the English cream. Or Bittish in this video.

How about the zippidee and care bear lines?

There are also Comfort Retrievers. Only bred in Kentucky, and the most amazing dogs. Supposed to be “minis” and used as service dogs, diabetic alert dogs etc., but my boy is 75 pounds. 😊

It is the first time I know there are 3 types of Golden Retrieverd!!!

Oh my gosh your the same person that runs beagle care too. I recognized you by your theme.

tucker budzyen is which type from these 3 versions you mentioned? i think it american?

I've only had American's. I love their coats.

I think whatever golden retriever I got is perfect

I have had four golden. The first two were for my two daughters. The pups were females from the same litter. Taffy was light gold tall and 112 pounds at a year old no fat just big. Pumpkin was bigger and orange gold. She was 114 pounds at a year old. They maintained their weight through their lives. Taffy died way too young at 5 from cancer. Pumpkin died at 13 from a delivery truck in the driveway. The next retriever was a female for my youngest daughter. Snoopy weighed 75 pounds at 1 year old and stayed at that weight until about 12 years old then she went to 80 pounds until her death at almost 14 years old. The latest golden who is my dog. Kayla at a year old was 100 pounds and the biggest girl of them all! She is a beautiful red and golden color. She is now 4 years old and has lost 4 pounds because we changed her diet a bit because of allergies. She is my best buddy. I have never seen a friendlier dog she loves everyone she meets except squirrels and our yard is full of them they keep her busy. We just had a new brood of them born so there are a lot of them to chase! I hope she never catches one, they would hurt her. She is my wife's lap dog in the evening. Goldin’s are such a joy!

My golden retriever has less hair what to do

I have a golden retriever in black...may i know his features..

You forgot one! theres another type of golden retriever called fieldgoldens. They are a hunting version of the golden retriever, they are thinner and definetely more energized and have almost a brown/bronze colour :D

Can you make a video of a daily schedule fo GR that you do for your Goldie

I never know if my 3 months old golden retriever if a purebred or mix

I'm thinking my boy is a combo of the American and British. He's 28inches at the shoulder and 110lbs. Big pup

American Golden retriever are my have

Américain, Britannique ou Canadien 🤔... J'adore 💕 le Golden Retr'amour 💕🐾 🐾 !

i have a canadian golden retriever 🍁

Which golden retriever do you have @retriever care

There are many people in Europe that advertise American golden as rare and sell them at higher prices than the British retrievers. I don't know the situation in America about British cream but I think that the prices should be equal for all types because there are all golden retrievers in the books. Beware of these breeders.

I have a British golden retriever as in number 2 - because I’m in England so mine is the original Scottish type.

Love my golden girl…they do require a lot of maintenance. 😀😂🐾

So beautiful golden my dolden girl 14.5 years old pass way 9.11.2022.

Mine one is the American golden retriever , who's 11 months old .

Mine is Indian Pariah and Golden Retriever mix

I like Canadian goldens

I don't know what to do but I'm feeling better
