Any other Labrador Golden Retriever mixes out there? When looking for a dog for the family we had no intention of getting a large breed dog, but fell in love as soon as we saw “Mamba”. Many assume he is a flat coat retriever when they first meet him. His mom is a 57 lbs Golden Retriever and dad is an 80 pound Labrador Retriever, we are excited to see where he will end up. Currently Mamba is 7 months and loves to watch the wild turkeys from our back yard and sleep as close to his humans as possible! Would love to see any mixes out there!

A 50-50 cross will have the Lab coat. If the Golden percentage is higher than 50% then you can have a puppy with the Golden coat that is black. For example, my third litter is 50-50 LGX. They're turning in for advanced training between now and May. If any of the females are selected as a breeder and then mated with a Golden, the offspring will be 75% Golden so there's a likelihood that a puppy would be black and have the Golden coat.
I'd forgotten about this post until the thread popped back up. One of the females from that litter was selected as a breeder and just had her first litter earlier this month. She was bred to a Lab so the litter is 75/25 Lab/Golden.

We also just had a full lab boy from a subsequent litter picked as a breeder. It will be fun to see the litters he eventually sires.

I'm a volunteer breeder caretaker with a service dog organization. The organization breeds Labs, Goldens, and Lab-Golden crosses. My breeder girl is a Lab. One of her litters was sired by a Golden. The only way you can tell they're not a full Lab is their tail. It's a bit fuller like a Golden's. (Otherwise, they look like full Labs.) The Lab-Golden crosses bred by this organization have a slightly higher success rate in becoming service dogs than do the full labs and full Goldens.
Hi! May I ask what breeder you work with or the organization? We’re looking for a golden lab mix that could possibly be a therapy dog

Hi! What’s the name of this organization?

If you have a so-called flunked dog that is a Gold- ador-able, can you let me know. I am looking for a dog to train as my third assistance dog. Thanks, Lainie
 
I had some friends who had a Golden Black lab mix. She looked a lot like Mamba. When she was full grown her hair was long like a Golden but a beautiful shiny black. I kept her a few times when she was a puppy and we bonded for life. I really loved her but she was a wild thing way past the 2-3 year age when you expect them to settle down so keep working hard on training.
It always takes training & you have to present as the Alpha of the team or you will be cleverly given the 'wild' treatment. No golden or lab is a wild dog unless he/she has a hidden health issue. A dog's behavior may be the first sign of cancer. Brushing is the best way to bond with a dog & setting clear consistent limits.
