I don't think there is discrimination in Goldens, My dad like lighter, my mom insists on redder and I like medium gold. They are all beautiful and wonderful dogs no matter what colour. Chopin has perfect (I least I think it is coloured coat, though he's still got puppy fur, his ears and a nice shade of medium gold. His ears and face fur is really lustrous and almost glittery. Also, he's very, very fluffy, which I get all the time.

I have read that red goldens are, especially in the past, favoured over blonder ones in the show ring and only in the past few decades have blonder ones recieved recognition on North America. Blonde and white goldens are definetly prefered in Britain, though.

Bridget was a very pale light gold colour, with lots of cream in her undercoat. She had gold highlights! But I'm not partial. I'm a redhead, so naturally love red Goldens too!

I checked both cream & gold; I'm more of a fan of the English standard.

My Jack is a red boy (as you can see)! And I've seen comments on the darker Goldens typically being field lines which is what I have noticed too. My boy is definitely field line! Although, my sister has a darker colored Golden than Jack and she is more the show lines rather than the field so you never know!

There hasn't been any ill comments towards Jack's darker color. The only thing I have noticed is that some people that are less familiar with the different "types" of Goldens sometimes aren't sure if he is a purebred. That has to do more with his short, field coat rather than the color though I believe.

I love all the colors though! In time I'd like to get another Golden... maybe one of the show line, lighter ones just to mix it up. I'd like to maybe get a girl too. As of right now I am the only girl in the house among my Husband, son, and Jacko!

Blondie- was,well, Blonde,lol Beautiful blonde with a white skirt from her belly. So so pretty.
Franklin- Red. When we got him we had no idea he was going to be red or short haired.
Bred the two of them and all puppies came out golden except for one that was almost white.
