Health in English Creams

Aside from Aesthetics in English Creams, health is also a key component as to why pet-owners prefer English Cream Retrievers over American Golden.  A health study in 1998 conducted by the Golden Retriever Club of America states that cancer is the cause of death in 61.8% of American Golden Retrievers (Glickman, Larry et al. "The Golden Retriever Club of America National Health Survey". Purdue School of Veterinary Medicine, 1998.) However, in English Cream Golden Retrievers, the percentage is a mere 38.8% (British Kennel Club Scientific Committee. "Summary Results of Purebred Dog Health Survey for Golden Retrievers".)

The latter of the studies states that purebred English Cream Golden's live and average of 2 years more than they typical purebred American Golden, and have roughly half of the health problems due to their excellent breeding.  The money intitally saved in buying an American Golden Retriever is insignificant in comparison to the veterinary expenses to be saved from purchasing an English Cream.

The health differences between the English Cream Golden & the American Golden are staggering.  It is the greatest reason why a serious dog seeker will consider purchasing an English Cream Golden over an American Golden.  The money saved in purchasing an American Golden pales in comparison to the vet bills accumulated over the dog's lifespan.
