Freedom got it right on the nose. It would be considered a fault in your golden hon. Especially if he is very dark to begin with. It would be too much of a contrast with his body coloring.

Now this doesn't make him any less of a Golden at all. He is yours and you love him. That's all that really matters. Right?

Your dog is still registered with the AKC (assuming you got papers when you got him), neutering will not change this.

And thank you for getting him neutered!

As for the white patch, yes, it is possible to have a purebred golden with a white chest. While it's not common, it does happen.

It is very normal, I have 2 goldens and they both have them. It's just the way their chest-feathers are. Their tail feathers and also their butt-feathers are all whitish-light golden.

According to the breed standard:

Color -- rich, lustrous golden of various shades. Feathering may be lighter than rest of coat. With the exception of graying or whitening of face or body due to age, any white marking, other than a few white hairs on the chest, should be penalized according to its extent. Allowable light shadings are not to be confused with white markings. Predominant body color which is either extremely pale or extremely dark is undesirable. Some latitude should be given to the light puppy whose coloring shows promise of deepening with maturity. Any noticeable area of black or other off-color hair is a serious fault.
