American types are lankier and less muscular than other types, males stand between 23 and 24 in (58 and 61 cm) in height at the withers; females are 21.5 to 22.5 in (55 to 57 cm) tall. This leaves the outer ranges of coat colour up to a judge's discretion when competing in conformation shows. Therefore, 'pure white' and 'red' are unacceptable, as is black. The Kennel Club (UK) also permits cream as an acceptable coat colour. The average lifespan for a Golden Retriever is about 11 to 12 years.
