TIA!
Hey now! I think that my Danny has a very nice head, and it's narrow.I consider a field bred Golden one who has one or both parents titled in a field endeavor, or "starred"-and I include the higher levels of hunt test in my definition of field bred.
A lot of people use it to describe a physical type-usually lanky, darker in color, narrower head, less full coat, etc.-but that is not really correct, as there are many very sturdy field dogs with very nice heads, etc.
LOL. You are too funny!An Outstanding Field Golden below

Actually its just Tuff Dog "out standing" in the field.
He thinks that's his bloodline though
Sorry I am obviously of no help to ya![]()
There is more difference on the inside than there is on the outside.I was reading a thread that has me wondering the difference btwn a field bred GR and a GR?

Not exactly.So if you "raise" them to suceed in the agility, field competitions, etc you are "creating" a field GR. They are proving themselves in other words?
Either way, they are all lovely and ideal in our eyes.
Sorry, it's a title dogs get in conformation competition.CH?
What does this mean.
Thanks in advance.

hello, Just wondered if your black lab was a mixed breed or not? It looks exactly like the old original landrace breed that originated out of Newfoundland and Labrador. The markings of white in the chest,feet and muzzle are exact!! They say that the St johns waterdog is the ancestor to the modern labrador and most other retriever dogs of today. The last dogs known had gone extinct in the 1970s and 80s. Im trying to prove that the breed still lives on, we had one as kids growing up in northeastern ontario during the 70s and 80s. If you are interested in the litterature on the St Johns Waterdog, look it up in wikipedia. There is a whole write up with old photos from the late 1800s and to the 1970's. You dog looks soo much like one that its scary. let me know what you think and get back to me. They say that some litters out of purbred labrador stock, pups will get white markings in these areas. Just curious if your dog was a mix and of what? thankyou ColinHey now! I think that my Danny has a very nice head, and it's narrow.
I think field lines tend to have a less full coat, a little longer tail and legs and narrower heads. That doesn't mean that they are actually field goldens, just field line.
A conformation golden isn't necessarily good for the ring even with a "nice" head. But they are, in a general description, more solid, fluffier coat and square headed.
Of course, this is all my opinion from what I have observed....
