Frequently asked questions

About Our Dogs

What is an English Cream Golden Retriever? English Cream Golden Retrievers are a color variation of Golden Retrievers with beautiful light cream to white coats. To be a full AKC English Cream, like our puppies are, they must have European blood lines from both parents' sides that meet the standard for the AKC.

They have a calm, gentle temperament and stockier build compared to American field-bred lines. They're smart, easy to train, get along great with children and other animals, and overall, they make wonderful family pets.

Size and Color: Puppies when full grown are anticipated to weigh 70-110lbs (depending on litter and gender) and have soft cream color coats that are whip cream to toasted in color. While they may be a larger dog, beacuse of their temperment, they can be happy in smaller homes as long as activity/walks are provided.

Temperament: Gentle, family friendly dogs that get along with children and other animals. Also great for Colorado adventures! As they have thick warm coats with retrieving built into their DNA, they can also be trained to be execellent hunting dogs.

What does AKC certified mean? Our dogs are registered with the American Kennel Club with documented pedigrees spanning more than 4 generations. Both parent dogs are OFA certified for hips, elbows, eyes, and heart, ensuring we breed healthy dogs with verified lineage.

Tell me about your parent dogs: All dogs have AKC documented English lineage with strong Colorado roots.
