The term "Golden Retriever" refers to a specific breed of dog recognized by kennel clubs around the world.
There are no separate sub-breeds or variations within the Golden Retriever breed. However, there are two different coat types within the breed:
* American Golden Retriever: This type is typically larger and has a lighter coat, often with a more "feathery" texture.
* British Golden Retriever: This type is typically smaller and has a darker, denser coat.
It is important to note that these are just general descriptions and there can be variations within each type.
