English Cream Golden Retrievers
There are lots of names for these beautiful light-colored goldes.
There are also a lot of myths about them, such as people thinking they have better temperaments, are rarer, or that they’re not even golden retrievers.
Here’s the truth: just because they’re white doesn’t mean that they are better than any other golden.
What really matters is a dog’s pedigree and how they’re raised.
If a dog has healthy good-tempered parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, etc., then they’re likely to be a healthy good-tempered dog, no matter what color they are.
And if a dog is socialized properly as a puppy, then they’ll likely be comfortable and confident as adults, instead of anxious or fearful.
The problem with most golden retrievers is that people wanted to make some money by selling golden retriever puppies, so they irresponsibly bred dogs that were unhealthy, had bad pedigrees, or were too closely related.
When getting a golden retriever puppy it’s important to choose a good breeder that does health and genetics testing for the dogs they breed.
Now although there are lots of myths about English Creams, there do seem to be some truths (or at least trends).
