I had a person come into the store today with a dog unlike any I'd seen before. He looked like a Golden in body structure, but was deep, dark, true red. Like an irish setter. When I asked her what he was, she told me he was an "american standard retriever". Later I found out she'd rescued him from another family, so didn't have much history on him other than being told what he was.
Is this something people are trying to breed? Red goldens, then call them something else? I was trying to figure out if he was mixed, or just a RED golden, and couldn't figure it out.
Anyone heard of people using this "breed" name before? Or is it just a not widely recognized, yet completley legitimate breed I'd just never heard of before?
