We can divide Golden Retrievers into two distinctions: by color, and by the country/area they are from! The American Golden Retriever, the English Golden Retriever, the Canadian Golden Retriever, and the British are the four distinct breeds of Goldies if we are taking the country/area approach. Each of these varieties of Goldens has a very similar body type, and will act in the same way, although having minor variances. Remember that there are only these specific subcategories of Golden Retrievers. When we look at the color perspective, Golden Retriever colors can be looked upon as the following: • Standard Golden Retriever • Light Golden Retriever • Dark Red Golden Retriever • Dark Golden Retriever • English Cream Golden Retriever
