Like many other breed of dogs, golden retrievers comes in many color but all the colors should have at least a shade of “gold”. This color standard of the golden retriever is based according to the definition of the American Kennel Club. If you are familiar with the different colors of the golden retriever, you would know that there are some who have a pale colored coat which somewhat appears to be white. If you happen to see this type of retriever, I assure you that you will find this breed very irresistible that you will find it very hard to go home without owning one. But what are these pale colored retrievers officially called?

These cream colored golden retrievers are called the white golden retriever. The color is very popular indeed that a lot of Americans wanted to breed white golden retrievers from imported dogs coming from UK. Another popular name for the white goldens is the “English Cream Golden Retrievers”. In Britain, this type of golden is also called as “British creams”, “Snow Golden’s” and “Angel Golden’s”.

The best place to find white goldens is through a reputable breeder. You can start your search by surfing the internet and look for the most reputable breeder in town. Go through the reputable breeder directory and shop for the most trustworthy and with good feedbacks breeder around. If you are based in the United States of America, you can opt to call the Golden Retrievers Club of America. It is guaranteed that you will be able to find contacts of a reputable breeder within the state. However, if you are not based in the US, you can always choose to contact the National Kennel Club based in your local area. English creams are indeed very popular, thus most breeders will be very eager to advertise this type of breed.

The next thing you need to look into after owning a white golden is their health. You must see to it that your golden is eating right. Make sure to include a lot of protein in their diet. When it comes to feeding time, generally goldens prefer to follow a scheduled pattern of eating. Young white retrievers need to be fed three times per day because they are still in their growing age. On the other hand retrievers on their young adult to adult years will only need to be fed once or twice per day depending on how active they are.

Grooming is the next big thing to consider. Because white goldens have two layers of fur, they tend to shed too much specially during the summertime. So if you don’t want to have furs scattered all over your place, see to it that you brush your golden’s fur at least once per day. Brushing does not only remove dead and loose fur from their coat, but it also stimulates the dog’s skin to release oil, thus will make the fur look more soft and shiny.
