Golden Labrador may sound fascinating for a breed name but this same name is the cause of dispute and confusion among some people in the dog breeding world. When people hear this name, they automatically assume that this is either a golden Labrador or a new breed made from mixing a Golden Retriever and Labrador Retriever. These are possible assumptions but one of these, people should stay away from and the other should accept.

One cause of the confusion is the idea of having a golden- colored Labrador. Is this idea possible or just another scam from crooked breeders? The answer would be, a golden-colored Labrador is a deceitful and misleading idea to dispose of a yellow Labrador in a most fashionable way.

If breeders insist that there is such a thing as a golden Labrador but wishes to sell one, authorities advise to steer clear from them because they most probably are scammers. There have been instances where buyers who indeed bought the said golden Labs were surprised to realize that their golden Labs and yellow Labs are just the same variant. Some deceitful sellers would even state that DNA testing has been done in order to prove the existence of a golden Lab but experts say there is no truth to this.

Now that it’s clear that there is no such thing as a golden Labrador, the question now remains as, “What then is a Golden Labrador?” Just like what the other assumption stated, a Golden Labrador is the result of mixing a Golden Retriever and a Labrador Retriever. These parent breeds are one of the most popular dogs around the world and practically millions of people own them. Their hybrid offspring, the Golden Labrador, is beginning to be another phenomenal breed for it is gaining popularity by the day around the world.

A cross breed of two or more different purebreds generally comes out as multi-faceted dog in terms of temperament and may inherit different physical attributes from both parents. In temperament, it is never that 50% disposition is taken from one parent and the other 50% is taken from the other one. Each characteristic of the hybrid may be taken from either parents or it may develop its own but it is never likely that the distribution will be 50-50.

Known as an outstanding waterdog, the Golden Retriever is an excellent swimmer and retriever of shot fowls. As a result, the Golden Labrador may come out as either an excellent swimmer or a poor one. The Labrador Retriever on the other hand, is the most popular pet in the US and is a well-known superb narcotics and bomb detection dog.

The crossbred Golden Labrador may or may not be a completely superb detector like the Lab because it all depends on the genes that it inherited. This hybrid may sometimes come out having the distinct characteristics of one parent or sometimes it can be a combination from both the Golden Retriever and the Labrador. The appearance of the Golden Labrador also varies and sometimes may look like the Golden Retriever, the Labrador Retriever or both.
