English vs. American Goldens Retrievers

​

Have you ever wondered what all the hype is over an English cream golden retriever? To start with let's clarify that they aren't a separate breed. American, English (or English cream, European, British), and even Canadian Goldens are all the same breed. They originate back to 1868 when a wealthy English gentleman named Sir Dudley Marjoribanks bred a Tweed Spaniel to a Gold colored Retriever in Scotland. From this litter, the Golden Retriever breed spread throughout the world. While they all have the same ancestors and are the same breed, there are undeniable differences between the Golden Retrievers found in the US, Canada, and England.
