   I could not agree with you more.
   Champagne, White, English, Klondike, all of these are absolutely terrible looking and should not be considered Golden Retrievers at ALL!
   There is no need nor justification for breeding Goldens specifically to be WHITE! Why do we call them GOLDEN Retrievers?? Because the coat is GOLD in shade!
   Sure, in natural results, some Goldies turn out very light Gold or Yellow, but two Goldens bred together do NOT produce White unless you specifically and irresponsibly breed for white.
   I think it is a terrible shame and that there is no justifying it.
   People should not be able to alter a breed's apperance whenever they want for whatever reason, especially if the reason is, "oh, but it is so popular!"
   If they really wanted White Goldens, then they could create a breed as such, maybe the "white retriever".
   Which, by the way, I am still against because we have no need for further breeds.

   This whole thing just exemplifies the greed of all breeders, especially show breeders, who breed for appearance more often than health and original function.
