It depends on where you are! In Britain & Ireland, where the dog is originally from, it ranges from a light cream or champagne colour to to rich and lustrous gold. This is why it was named the Golden Retriever! However, when the dog was introduced to the US, show judges there changed their preference in colour to a darker shade, sometimes reaching a red/auburn as dark as the Irish/Red Setter. This often leads to confusion over the origin of the name in the US, as some people wonder why a red coloured dog is called golden.

not all golden retrievers are golden. some are white but they are mainly gold, hence the name. golden retrievers were first used for duck hunters they used to retrieve the ducks. I have two golden retrievers, and I suggest getting a darker colored one. I mean like more of a reddish tint not a lite one. The lite ones are not as smart as the red ones. At least that is what I think and have experienced.

Golden Retriever puppies can either be white-colored with tan-ish ears (the color of the ears is what they will be completely when they are full grown), tan with dark ears, white with white ears, or tan with tan ears. Hope this helped!

Golden retrievers mostly have a lovely sandy colored coat. There are also black coated animals which are closely related and in fact a litter can contain both colored coats.
