Golden Retriever Forum:
White haired Golden?

I have a 1 y/o Golden who has more blond than red fur. I was just wondering if anyone knows why this would be and/or how common it is. She is WKC registered and all of her litter looked like normal Golden's...We actually picked her because of her color. She is smaller than average as well (I think she was the runt)...could it just be a recessive gene? She is just the sweetest little thing...Thanks for any input!

Goldens are cream to dark red in color....I have seen very very light and dark ones.... GoldenPup

I've seen Goldens that are very light hair with only their ears looking dark. I do believe it's a regressive gene but not necessarily one that shows a fault. She'll probably grow darker as she gets older.
