Pendapat umum (Fakta atau Mitos?) yg sering beredar di antara para Golden Lovers mengenai perbedaan 2 tipe ini antara lain:
- Warna: Golden Eropa warna nya lebih terang, dan Golden Amerika warna nya lebih gelap.
Yup warna Terang memang lebih populer di Eropa, sehingga warna terang di Golden sering disebut English Cream Golden retriever. Tapi bukan berarti semua Golden di Eropa berwarna terang atau semua Golden di Amerika berwarna gelap.

Info bout the Pic:
This beautiful two year old Golden Retriever female has no any American blood in. This picture was taken in Europe. I have placed her here on purpose for those people who think European Golden can be only light. One could think that this one has everything what is needed and fashionable to make her American Champion. She has dense and thick coat, straight hair and thick paws and even her color is within AKC spec. The problem is she would be too small for AKC standard while perfectly within KC Standard. Maybe some of her offspring will be able to get this title especially since big Goldens seem to be a problem nowadays.

- Tulang: Golden Eropa tulang2 nya lebih kasar
Secara standard AKC berat standard anjing jantan 65-75 pounds; betina 55-65 pounds. Sementara KC – no weight specification at all. Dari sini bisa dijelaskan kenapa Golden di Eropa terlihat lebih Bulky dan berisi. Tapi bukan berarti Golden Eropa kegemukan, krn kegemukan bukan berdasarkan berat badan, tp persentase lemak di tubuh.
- Coat: Golden Amerika bulu nya lebih panjang dan relatif lebih lurus. Golden Eropa bulu nya tidak terlalu panjang, dan relatif lebih ikal.
Yup secara penampilan, memang Golden Amerika lebih Glamour dibandingkan Golden Eropa.

Tipe Eropa

- Eyes & Ears (Face): Perbedaan Golden Tipe Amerika dan Tipe Eropa jg bisa dilihat dari muka nya, krn memang secara standard AKC dan KC, ada sedikit perbedaan mengenai point2 ini.
Standard AKC & KC untuk Head, Eyes, n Ears:
AKC: Head - Broad in skull, slightly arched laterally and longitudinally without prominence of frontal bones (forehead) or occipital bones. Stop well defined but not abrupt. Foreface deep and wide, nearly as long as skull. Muzzle straight in profile, blending smooth and strongly into skull; when viewed in profile or from above, slightly deeper and wider at stop than at tip. No heaviness in flews. Removal of whiskers is permitted but not preferred.
KC: Head and Skull - Balanced and well chiselled, skull broad without coarseness; well set on neck, muzzle powerful, wide and deep. Length of foreface approximately equals length from well defined stop to occiput.
AKC: Eyes friendly and intelligent in expression, medium large with dark, close-fitting rims, set well apart and reasonably deep in sockets. Color preferably dark brown; medium brown acceptable. Slant eyes and narrow, triangular eyes detract from correct expression and are to be faulted.
KC: Eyes - Dark brown, set well apart, dark rims.
AKC: Ears rather short with front edge attached well behind and just above the eye and falling close to cheek. When pulled forward, tip of ear should just cover the eye. Low, hound-like ear set to be faulted.
KC: Ears - Moderate size, set on approximate level with eyes.
AKC: Neck medium long, merging gradually into well laid back shoulders, giving sturdy, muscular appearance. No throatiness.
KC: Neck - Good length, clean and muscular.
KC: Head and Skull - Balanced and well chiselled, skull broad without coarseness; well set on neck, muzzle powerful, wide and deep. Length of foreface approximately equals length from well defined stop to occiput.
AKC: Eyes friendly and intelligent in expression, medium large with dark, close-fitting rims, set well apart and reasonably deep in sockets. Color preferably dark brown; medium brown acceptable. Slant eyes and narrow, triangular eyes detract from correct expression and are to be faulted.
KC: Eyes - Dark brown, set well apart, dark rims.
AKC: Ears rather short with front edge attached well behind and just above the eye and falling close to cheek. When pulled forward, tip of ear should just cover the eye. Low, hound-like ear set to be faulted.
KC: Ears - Moderate size, set on approximate level with eyes.
AKC: Neck medium long, merging gradually into well laid back shoulders, giving sturdy, muscular appearance. No throatiness.
KC: Neck - Good length, clean and muscular.
AKC wants ears well behind and above level of eyes. KC wants them at the level of eyes. This causes two very different looks
