Yeah the field/show mixes are great. I prefer the blocky look of the English labs but the drive of the American/field Labs is unmatched. British labs are the only labs I don't like. They fall short in all categories, lol. They're not as smart, too small to handle a goose or cold weather, not as attractive, and stubborn.
Not a fan of them, haha.
The father of mine is really English. He is two and weighs 90 lbs. super fit and muscular, and has a really attractive look.
Avery's only shortcoming is she just doesn't have as much of a English look. I don't mind it but I don't like it as much. Avery's mom was a fox red American lab and her dad was a snow white English lab. Some of the English and all of the white color pf Avery's dad carried over though haha. But paired with Cody she had some adorable pups.
I just took these of Avery last night. She's still missing some hair after blowing her whole coat from the puppies. But she's my pretty girl. View attachment 3590127View attachment 3590128

Yeah I feel the same way. Love the block head but want the drive lol Avery is so pretty

That’s English cream. Not all English are white. English is just another name for show line I think

"English Cream" is a BYB created name. Never by a dog listed under that name, there is a bunch more BYB names to. English bred lines are white or cream in color. And are lines that were originally imported from the UK. Or had parents from the UK

Im a member on the Golden Retriever Forum. And i definitely learned a lot about the BYB names. And its so hard to find a good "English lined" Golden Retriever.

She looks like a American Golden. As English lines are completly white.

They are very light, but they aren't actually white.

She’s pretty either way!

Look at the Crufts Golden Retriever videos. All shades. Just happens to be more lighter ones but you can get gold too
