English Cream vs American Golden Retrievers
A golden retriever is a golden retriever, but depending on where it comes from and what the breeder’s purpose was, you will find differences between them.
these are generalities.
Each dog is an individual — so take these differences with a grain of salt.
And finally, many of these differences are because of the breeders’ trying to conform to different breed standards, which you can find here:
American golden retrievers:
Males: 23-24 inches tall at the withers (tallest part of their shoulder blades) and 65-75 pounds
Females: 21.5-22.5 inches tall and 55-65 pounds
English golden retrievers:
Males: 22-24 inches tall
Females: 20-22 inches tall
As you can see, Americans allow taller goldens, while the English allow shorter goldens.
Weight is not noted in the English standard.
Body Shape
English golden retrievers are known for being shorter and stockier, while American golden retrievers are known for being slightly taller and lankier.
English goldens typically have blockier heads, with ears that sit a little lower than the American goldens.
American goldens often have more of a sloping topline (back), where their shoulders are a little taller than the English.
Colors
The color difference is the most noticeable difference between these two styles of golden retriever.
Usually, when people in America think of English golden retrievers, they think of light golden or cream-colored dogs (hence the name, “English Cream golden retriever”). Miraculously, these lighter goldens can roll in mud, but appear creamy again when it dries.
Energy Levels
Many English golden retriever owners and breeders say that they are calmer than their American counterparts. Just know they are working dogs, so their nature is to be active.
Price
With puppies, you usually get what you pay for.
English golden retrievers are often more expensive than American golden retrievers, but there are a lot of factors that go into that besides just style of dog. Good breeders are using high quality dog food, spending much time socializing their pups, training, and tending to their health needs.
Health
Studies show that English golden retrievers are less likely to get cancer than American golden retrievers, and many people say they’re calmer.
Our English Cream golden retrievers began training at a few days old with Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) , which seemed to be a profound difference in our pups compared to others.
If this appealing to you, then you’ll probably have to pay a little more for an English golden, but it could be worth it.
