I don't really approve of mixing breeds intentionally, because you lose a lot of the consistency and predictability you get from matching up two good dogs of the same breed. That said, I can't think of any reason a Golden/Lab cross would be dangerous.

i wonder how a rumor would start about the two best breeds suddenly being "bad" when together 
i own a golden/lab mix and i can tell you she's the best dog in the world. wonderful temperment, very affectionate and loving. now, she's got an energy level that will tire out even the most energetic person, but, if you are ok with that i can't imagine not helping one of those puppies find a home.

Bogey's best friend Tessa is a golden/lab mix and we LOVE her. They get together every weekend and get along great. She was a 2-year old rescue, and her family just had a baby 5 weeks ago. She is an angel with the baby, and she did NOT come from good beginnings. Here are a few pictures of the two of them playing. The fourth one is just her - I love the white patch on her chest.
Of course every dog has their own personality, but I have been so impressed with Tessa. She reformed nicely and is the most loyal dog I know.
Tessa was brought into their home when they already had an 18-month old lab. She fit in just fit - the first few weeks were tough to teach her the rules, but now they can't imagine life without her.
Actually, many service orgs prefer these mixes to purebreds. I don't know why, but I have heard that in some of the research I did to help a friend find an assistance dog.
I say GO GET ONE!

My Jasmine is a lab/golden mix. I actually know for sure she is 1/2 golden because I met her mom when I got her. We are assuming dad was a lab because she looks like a lab. She has the best of both breeds. Great natured, great energy (she will be 9 in January and still can run with Danny all day long up at the lake) and smart too boot!

muskoxen, that is. We haven't terrorized any bison yet, but they're on our list. seriously, if other golden/lab mixes are like Pud, you'll get the best dawg in the world, but be prepared for lots of this:

My Duke is Golden, lab, and coonhound mixed. He is not a bad dog at all. If I was looking for a dog and found a golden/lab cross I would not hesitate.
