For native Spanish speakers, What is "Golden Retriever" in Spanish?

I looked it up in my Spanish dictionary and it says "Golden Retriever" but I looked up in an online translator and it says something completely different. I do not know which one I should trust. Thanks.|||Your dictionary is right. The online translator doesn't know you're speaking about a dog and not someone who retrieves something and is made of gold.



We don't translate this dog's race name. If you talk about "retriever dogs" in general, though, they're "perros de cobro", but a Labrador Retriever is a labrador retriever and a Golden Retriever is a golden retriever (usually called simply "labrador" and "golden"). We don't translate any Terriers' name, either.



Regarding the other user's answer, a "Labrador dorado" is NOT a Golden Retriever, but a gold-haired Lab.



Note also that races in Spanish are NOT written with capital letter.|||labrador dorado: kind of a hound blond haired
