In reply to Colby. Please share your breeder information. I lost my beautiful ECGR after 10 1/2 years and I am paralyzed by grief.

In reply to Teresa J. Hi there. I had the most wonderful ECGR. He was the most beautiful golden I’ve ever owned (my 5th GR). He was bred with elbow dysplasia and his breeder knew of the results so chose Penn State scores instead. Kaleb has been the most wonderful best friend. He passed away suddenly yesterday after 10 1/2 years. Just keeled over ov likely a massive stroke or a heat attack. I am devestated. I raised him differently than others. No running after frisbees, gentle excercises, surgery, special diet and a bond like no other. I am devestated. I have a black lab ish reside who is very sad missing him too. I will get another one. But want a true European heritage breed with cleaner lineage, the boxy white head and a wonderful disposition. Please help me in my search. Thank you.

I’m looking to make a forever home for an English Cream Retriver. Does anyone have puppies ready for adoption?

In reply to Teresa J. The AKC only gives you the option of light gold, medium gold or dark gold, they have no listing for white, I have pure white puppies if you're interested, only 2 males left

In reply to Jsmith. To my understanding they never darken unless he was cream colored and not pure white, my 31/2 year old female still has white eyelashes

In reply to Joey. I have never heard of one with few claws but Great Pyrenees have few claws and look very similar but their tail will curl up on their back, you might have a cross or a pure breed Great Pyrenees

I have a female English cream golden and she just had her 1st litter, I have had goldens since 2020 but she was my 1st English cream. It has to be my favorite dog ever, she is so smart and her name is Prim and she is a little bit of a primadonna but that’s completely my fault. You can never go wrong with this breed.

I have an English Cream fantastic smart & caring boy. I am curious why he has back dew claws. He was purchased as a pure bread and many people are saying that rear due claws are no big deal. Others are saying that he must be across with something.

Hello,
We purchased what was advertised as an English cream, but he has become darker over time. Still not the reddish brown of our other golden. Overall he is a great dog, I am wondering if there is a range of color that is considered English cream, or are they all platinum?

Thank you for this article. I learned a lot. It’s the first time I heard ECGR being called Platinums. I have a question please:

Is there a specific listing in AKC that defines an English Cream? For example, I have been looking at a certain breeder and upon researching the lineage of his dogs I found out they are registered as Golden Retrievers Light Golden. When I look at both the male and female they are mostly all white with a tad bit of discoloration on their coats. In other words, I can see some gold in their coats instead of being completely solid white. I haven’t reached out to AKC yet to ask about it. The Breeder is selling his puppies as English Creams and asking top price for them. Isn’t there some kind of designation with AKC that specifically says they are English Cream?

Thank you and again, great article.
