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

[@jimdeere2204]

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.

[@RetrieverCare]

That is so sweet :) Say hello to Griffin!

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.

[@SandraVanLankvelt]

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.

[@timdearborn5397]

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.)

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

[@DirtRockTeam]

when the "different" types were being described my thoughts went to this video was describing the difference between working and show lines. While a good video I do think it is a bit misleading. Same thing happens with Labradors with the American or English breed. Nothing more than a marketing ploy for those who don't know what the terms actually are referring to.

[@ramnikTDM]

What's that?

[@DirtRockTeam]

@@ramnikTDM conformation lines are show lines while field lines are bred for a working purposes. Conformation lines tend to be bigger, thicker in the body, and less active. Field or working lines tend to be slimmer, have higher prey drives, a desire to do the original function the dog was bred for.

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

[@Informed104]

One type that wasn't mentioned is the Field/Line Golden retriever. It's markedly different with thin hips, smaller size, with a narrower head. Fast as a bullet, I understand that this sub-type was actually closest to the original dog breed developed by Scotland's Lord Tweedmouth in 1868 (not in the 18th century as was stated in the video). Mine has very little if any under coat, but I wonder if that's also a characteristic? Personality-wise he's the classic golden. Smart, humerous antics, silly sometimes, very loyal and completely docile around children. Of all the three Goldens I've owned over the years, he's the most sensitive and loyal. He doesn't wander. He's also the only Field/Line. The other two were female, and of the size of the classic American Golden. Both were wanderers.

I'm in Canada and mine is British style (I've had 3 Goldens - all British style. I live in Ontario). You never know. The Brits have shorter coats so if your son's dog has a beautiful bushy Golden coat, it's likely an American Golden - typically the kind you see featured in movies/cartoons.

[@philherrick7319]

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

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!

[@d.sherlock5359]

Erm. Not to be rude or anything but this is a total crock. In particular with British Goldens. 1) The British Golden retriever’s eye shape should be almond shaped, not round. 2) The average British Golden Retriever is **significantly** larger than the average American Golden, ranging from 85lbs to 95lbs, and is often much taller at the shoulder. 3) To say that British Goldens are lighter and stockier, with shorter coats is drivel too. There are in fact 3 specific types of Golden over here; working, or field type, show type and dual purpose (which is a careful blend of type 1 & 2.) Working/field type have darker, shorter coats, narrower faces, lighter frames and are **much** higher energy. Show types are lighter coloured, heavier set with broader, bear-like faces and tend towards much thicker and longer coats. Dual purpose types ideally blend the best of each The U.K. Kennel club recognises 3 distinct colours upon puppy registration; cream, golden and dark gold. Comparing Goldens without making a clear distinction between the particular lines (working, show or dual) is like comparing all American men with all British men from one family.

[@rachelpenny5165]

Yes I agree with you. I am from the UK. We have 5 Golden retrievers. One is pure working type. The rest are a mix of show type and working type. They are all lovely and very cuddly. One of our dogs is a big dog for a retriever. He is one year old, about 6 stone in weight and tall. We have always preferred the darker colour of the retriever and none of those we have are cream. The majority are a mid range golden colour. I can also grab them if I lose my balance (I have multiple sclerosis) and they know if I need them to help me. The dogs get spoilt rotten but not to their detriment.

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

[@Get_Splooshed]

Lot of people don’t know this but despite having 3 different types, they all have a 60% chance of getting cancer. Just letting y’all know incase you want to have a dog that lives longer than 7 years.

You're right of course, but my recently departed Goldie lived till just short of his 14th birthday. Miss him terribly.

[@BlueCacheton]

I think my golden might be Canadian or a mix between all of them

[@Pawsitivelygolden]

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

[@karthikgamer4384]
