This means that on average an English Golden will live 1 year and 7 months longer than an American Golden and English Goldens get cancer almost 1/2 as often as American Goldens. ![]() The median age of an English Golden is 12 years and 3 months according to the study, but the median age of an American Golden is only 10 years and 8 months. In fact the British Kennel Club (KC) did a very extensive study recently and found that cancer only caused the death of 38.8% of English Goldens ( CLICK HERE to see the study). The incidence of cancer among English bloodlines is significantly lower than in the American lines. The most common types of cancers in Goldens are hemangiosarcoma, followed by lymphosarcoma, mast cell tumor, and osteosarcoma. The money saved in purchasing an American Golden pales in comparison to the vet bills accumulated over the dog’s life span.Ĭancer was the cause of death for 61.8% of American Goldens according to a 1998 health study conducted by the Golden Retriever Club of America, making it the breed’s biggest killer ( CLICK HERE to see the study). It is the greatest reason why a serious dog seeker will consider purchasing an English Golden over an American Golden. The health differences between the English Golden and the American Golden are staggering. In fact, the “English Golden” has been shown to be healthier and live longer than the American Golden Retriever, but it has nothing to do with the color of the dog. Some people have also tried to state that there are health defects associated with the “cream” colored Golden Retriever.Īs you will read below, there are scientific studies from the GRCA and the British Kennel Club disproving that color has any association whatsoever with health defects. Recherche Goldens have very light cream Goldens and also some Goldens that are almost white. Many breeders get caught up in semantics. The truth is that almost anyone who saw the dog in person would say the Golden is white and not cream. If you put them next to a white piece of paper or freshly fallen snow, then you would see the slightest hint of color. You couldn’t even see cream on their ears or anywhere on their body. Is there even such thing Golden Retriever that’s white? The answer lies in your strict interpretation of “white.” Recherche Goldens have several Goldens that you would be hard pressed to deny their “white” color distinction. There have been pages written on the internet criticizing the term. The color has nothing to do with their health or their temperament.Īnother very controversial term is “White Golden Retriever” when made in reference to the English Golden. We believe the cream-colored Golden Retriever has a much more beautiful look. Recherche Goldens has chosen, out of personal taste and nothing more, to purchase light cream or white colored Goldens. European Goldens can go from dark red to almost solid white. The name is of no importance… the STANDARD by which they are judged is vital.Īnother common misconception is that all European Goldens are cream. Recherche Goldens did not make up the name. The breed’s name is the most common name given to the light colored European Goldens in America. The British Kennel Club and the American Kennel Club have different standards that are very pronounced today (Below we will go into detail concerning their differences). “English Cream Golden Retrievers” is the name given to Goldens that have been bred according to the British Kennel Club standards. Most of the world, outside of the US (and Canada) go by the KC (British Kennel Club) standards. The 2 major breed standards in the Golden Retriever world today are the AKC (American Kennel Club) and the KC (British Kennel Club). Why do we call them English Cream Golden Retrievers? The reason is the standard by which they are judged. The truth is that all Golden Retrievers have an English origin (read the History of the Golden Retriever at the bottom of this page) and most “English Cream” Goldens are not from England at all. England has very strict quarantine laws making it very difficult to import directly from England. This term does not mean that all English Cream Goldens are imported in from England. ![]()

![]() ![]() Spectrum excels with its selection of sports channels. There’s one Spectrum sports package that you can add onto your normal programming for $5/month, giving you extra assorted channels.ĮSPN, Fox Sports 1, NBC Sports Network, SEC Network, and regional sports networksĪll Select channels + CBS Sports Network, ESPN2 and ESPNEWS, Golf Channel, MLB Network, NBA TV, NFL Network, and Tennis ChannelĪll Silver channels + Big Ten Network, NHL Network, and all PAC-12 channels Like any provider, Spectrum offers premium packages to leagues like the NFL, NBA, and MLB. Spectrum Sports Pack: $5 for 13 must-have sports channels Keep reading, and I’ll explain exactly why Spectrum TV makes sense, and exactly how the pricing works so you can get a good deal on your sports package.īe sure to read through the explanation of the Spectrum sports package sign-up promotions it will save you $336+ in the first year, but the fine print can bite you. In that context, Spectrum makes more sense - especially if bundled with internet service. Subscribing to a full lineup of regional and national sports can easily cost $250+ per month with streaming services, if you watch more than three sports. View Internet-Only plansĭaily sports viewers: if you’re a serious sports viewer and need a premium service that puts every game imaginable on the big screen, Spectrum sports packages are definitely worth it. You'll still pay up to $100/month if you absolutely have to have regional sports networks, but the a la carte options are far more flexible than with a cable bundle like Spectrum. ![]() ![]() In that case, I recommend looking to “skinny bundle” services like FuboTV or YouTube TV. Occasional sports viewers: if you’re a single-member household who mostly watches one sport or team, Spectrum TV is unlikely to be the right fit. Most importantly, Spectrum includes a full range of regional sports channels, in addition to league games. Regional sports fees and other programming costs further inflate the price $10–20 per month.Īll that being said, Spectrum TV provides about four times the sports channel variety of a streaming bundle, including channels that are locked out of most streaming services like ESPN2, MLB Network, NFL Network, and the Tennis Channel. That’s quite high relative to streaming services or OTT bundles like AT&T TV you can expect monthly bills in the range of $100–150 per month, compared with $60-90 of most curd-cutting services (before annaul league pass costs, which apply to both cable and streaming services). If you subscribe to Spectrum internet, expect 2–3 mail offers per month encouraging you to sign up for TV and sports packages. You have to purchase a full channel bundle to access add-ons like MLB and NBA league games. Unfortunately, it comes with premium pricing as well - promotions start in the $70–105 range including the $5 sports package. Spectrum TV is a good premium option for daily-watcher sports fans who need a mix of sports, league passes, and regional network access for the 2023 season.
