Field-Bred
Golden Retrievers
How do Field-Bred Goldens differ?
1
Shorter Coats
Their coats are shorter and easier to maintain. They dry quicker which is ideal for water sports.
Less dense coats also mean less shedding!
2
Smaller Size
Ranging from 55-70lbs on average, Field-Bred Goldens are easier to manage than the larger structured show lines.
3
Darker Coats
Coats that range from deep golden to a dark red are typical of Field-Bred lines. It is also common for them to have white patches!
