The White Golden Retriever – Does It Really Exist?

Golden retrievers have long been one of the most favorite breeds of dogs for household pets. This breed is easy to take care of, very affectionate, and loyal. They are big enough to serve as guard dogs for the home but at the same time still friendly enough to cuddle and play with. While most golden retrievers are gold or cream in color, there has been quite a demand for the white golden retriever in recent years. However, there has been a debate about whether a white retriever is a different breed on its own or if they are just a variation from the existing breed.

Experts in the dog breeding industry have said that there is no such thing as a white golden retriever since this breed does not come in the white variation. What has been considered as white really is the pale, very light, cream-colored fur that some retrievers are born with.
