Erm, what kind of retrievers are there? I always thought there were just golden retrievers. Also is golden retriever s it’s own breed, or is “golden” just the color, like how many believe “Buff Orpington” is a breed when really “Buff” is just a color?

There are 6 different retriever breeds and golden retriever is the actual name of the breed not just a color specifier.

all have different colors, type, look, strucure, breed standard, and retrieving style

You were really really close!! And the Toller isn’t that common so that’s probably why haha they’re one of my favs though! More herding breed than retriever in terms of personality and energy
