There are a handful of GR breeders in MN, but I see they call out the cream color almost separately.

I have a red lab, and had a few recommend the breeder we picked, which helps. Before the lab we were looking at English style Golden’s, there is a breeder down the road from us but I don’t see much of the cream colored.

There was a lady at the dog park who had a “white” Golden that was just friendly as all get out, however once the temp dropped I haven’t seen her come, should of asked where she got him from.

Are you looking to get on a puppy list or immediately adopt?

So those almost white goldens are called cream? or do they have a white golden?

My red lab was ~$2k for first choice of the litter and a male.... kinda just said, you get what you pay for and what you want. But it is expensive :/

+1. I also recommend. We visited the breeder 2-3 times before taking out pup home. 1 was to check the breeder, get an idea of their process and dogs, 2, see the parents on the litter we wanted etc. and then meet the pups from the litter.

Have you had a lab? I'm curious about a golden vs a lab...they seem fairly on par with each other, one with long hair and one short. But those were the two breeds my wife and I were looking at before we picked a lab.

.....I'll remember that for the next dog. He is very.....mmm excited to run Great dog and has calmed down, but he is a family dog, not hunting, so a golden would of maybe been a great choice as well. As a puppy I swore I wouldn't get another lab, but @#$#@$ they are cute little bastards, great when they are tired
