My Golden and I were together for 15 years. He was pure love and devotion. His picture is on my dresser so that I can see it each morning and evening. It will remain there for the rest of my life.
wholeNwon so sad to hear but also beautiful! I can’t imagine what I’ll do when my dog dies, I’m just so insanely attached (Mixed rescue from Spain) He’s the sweetest thing ever
I had my Golden retriever for 11 years. Its been 5 months since his passing, miss him so much! Our other dog (a black mutt) will lay on his grave everyday. He was a best friend to all of the family.
Reminds me of the Victorian painting, "The Shepherd's Chief Mourner".
Julian Smit if it dies, it dies
They are the kind of dogs you can get really attached to, the connection is so strong. When they pass away, it hurts. In my experience, more than any person.
Instead of arguing which is best, can we agree Labrador's and Goldens are the best two breeds.
Siberian Huskies are the best.
The German Shepherd
Corgi Master Race
I agree both are amazing dogs
it's Labrador retriever dog who is the best
Both breeds are amazing. I grew up with one of each, and remember the main difference was their greetings, both always very excited to say hello, but my Golden would also gift us a cushion or shoe.
Kimberley R my lab did that too. He would gift visitors socks or anything soft
My goldens specialty is slippers and socks
The gift is the best! A toy.. shoe.. sock.. towel.. bone.. you just never know. So sweet
My Blondy Golden brings me a shoe as well LOL. But she is HUGE compared to me older Golden. 85lb fit??? Her head sits above the kitchen table. A Canadian and UK Mix. She is hugged and kissed SOOO much by the kids, and yet she asks for more LOL.
Yep my dog always runs to grab one of his toys for anybody at my door lol
no arguments, both breeds are angels in disguise
No, angels are labs or goldens in disguise.
I had to watch this video again because I coudn't focus on what you were saying, too much cuteness! 🐕
dzidziolus
There was dialog?
I might have.........missed that 😆
I replayed several times and couldn't absorb it lol.
I keep on rewinding... too distracted.
bruh
Same
Dogs r a special part of our long depressing lives never fail to love them.....
Ours is a Labrador and Golden mix. The best of two worlds.
Grace C Goldador
I’ve heard of these unicorns and met one too and what a dog. He was black lab/golden mix. So sweet and good natured and chilled. That’s an ideal doggo
That sounds interesting. Does it have long or short fur?
Mande Peer - Ours is super sweet, great nature and very smart.
Andrea Ryan he has short fur. My profile photo is a photo of him. He looks like more like a lab, cut his tail is a little fuller than a regular lab.
both are high activity dogs but in my experience the golden retriever has more "calm" moments
jmarylastone I agree.
My golden is super hyper.
jmarylastone agreed
jhustle mine too !!! He is 20 months old he always wants to play! Love him so much !
What? Do you mean the opposite of calm? Because Goldie’s are super hyper af
I love them both.
Butters The Bean
Same I might want both
Butters The Bean me also
I love both of them but even butters the bean!
Butters The Bean I cannot decide if I want a Lab, Golden, or a Goldendoodle
We've had 2 sets of each dog. First set has passed over the bridge. We still have the second set, though our Lab is now over 13 years old. Both breeds are wonderful dogs. Great companions and protectors. Both loved to play and chase each other, but now our Lab has slowed down a lot. We will loved them as long as they are here with us. They do shed, but a small price to pay for their love of us.

I wish I knew people that were as good as our Labs.
You won't find two dogs with more similar temperaments than the Golden and Lab.. Lovely breeds.
I've had 4 goldens in my life, they were all hilarious and sweet dogs. I've never met a Lab that I didn't like.
Both are awesome dogs! We have an English Labrador, and love him sooo much. His best friend at the park is a Golden Retriever. Both breeds are sweet, loyal, outgoing, social, loving, laid back, family friendly, smart, and wonderful. They always want to be a part of whatever you're doing, even if that just means napping at your feet while you work/read/watch tv. Truly mans best friend!
I had two Goldens. The first, Homer, despite my objections. They were both the most friendly, gentle, intelligent, affectionate, playful, attentive, obedient and beautiful dogs I've known. Can't say enough. I was very proud to have them a part of the family. Now when I encounter a Golden I always ask the owner if I can give their dog a hug. Their look, expression, and disposition always brings a smile to my face.
My retriever Judges me when I'm on the computer too long. That look of disgust goes away after we go for a walk... Til the next day
Grew up with Labradors and currently own a Goldie. I couldn't chose between the two breeds. I've been very fortunate to know and grow with these awesome companions.
I know Labs maybe rank number 5 in smartest dogs. But to me their emotional intelligence easily outranks every other breed.
My Black Lab, Ebony, was the most beautiful and intelligent dog I've ever had. She had me completely trained in about 3 days, and she stayed with me for thirteen glorious years! She went to sleep for the last time on 11/27/2017, at 2:27 p.m. I keep her picture just above my computer screen. I miss her much.
Our family had a female Golden who passed away at 13 and currently have a female Lab Pup, Labs have way way more energy than a Golden. Both are too smart for their own good!!
Golden is life. I've got two Goldens, they're such amazing dogs, with thick and shiny fur
Difference
One is a fluffy boi
One is a overactive one
Are they the best breeds ever?
Most likely
I’ve had both. My black lab (Bandit) was obsessed with fetching, 24/7/365. To the point it was almost a mental disorder, no amount of fetching was enough… There was no relaxing around him, unless you liked slobbery sticks, toys, rocks, etc dropped in your lap non-stop in his presence. But my golden (Lucy) is a sweetheart and very smart. I don’t think I’ll ever try another breed.
They both are excellent breeds. I live with an 11yr old Chocolate Lab, and an 8yr old Golden Retriever / Lab cross. Both will jump in a body of water without a second thought, even in winter.
Goofy goldens are the best! I just got a 2yr old golden last august and he's the best dog I've ever had. he's loves playing catch. Not fetch. He actually runs out for a pass and loves it when I toss the ball leading him just a bit ahead of where he's going. its so cool :)
Golden retrievers☺️ they are soooo soft, friendly, cuddly and lovely. I miss my dog. RIP Rosey. You Are dearly missed ❤️
Our family had a Golden Lab for 12 years (a cross between the 2 breeds). She was the very best dog ever and held a special place in our hearts. She passed a few months ago and I still get choked up. 💔
I’ve had 5 goldens. I think they’re the best breed on earth. Lost my last one last year. I still miss her every day. I have a dachshund now. She’s cool, but she’s no golden. ;)
I used to be a kennel girl for a dachshund breeder/judge. Boy, did I ever learn a lot from that "job"...it wasn't a job as much as I was getting doxie kisses, tail whips and snuggles. They also had a few bloodhounds...I learned to duck when they shook as the slime...aka Angle Kisses...went airborne!
@@gldquest i want please and how much cost
Dachsunds are friendly, loyal and genial dogs, I love dachsunds.
Myself and friends have had both. Golden’s have been consistently sweeter and more well mannered than Labs.
Labrador Retrievers..love them!
Richard Tibbetts not to be too anal about this, but there is no "golden" Labrador. Black, yellow and chocolate...
Black Labs 😁
Think he meant he cross breed
golden labs are the mix between a golden and a lab.
Mike your a fool i have a golden lab and hes a boss
I've been around every imaginable breed in twenty years, Goldens and Labs are my favorite.. simply amazing creatures.
When you see a Lab being used as a pillow by 2 children as they watch Saturday morning cartoons, you know you've made the right choice!
Can't believe you said that. My kids are adults now but it brought back memories. When the kids got home from school they would go to the neighbor's side door and get their chocolate lab. He loved being released before his owners got home from work. Their play sessions often ended with the two kids using him as a pillow while they watched TV. Your kids will never forget that.
My golden was wonderful with my young children. Made a perfect pillow. One of the sweetest dogs I've ever had. She loved her family.
I've always had Labradors in my family :) and I have a golden and black lab ATM. They're the most loving, loyal, funny and smart dogs I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. My two make everyday a good one :)
I lost my Lab in 2006. I still miss her. With a Lab you have a choice of colors, which shouldn't be a deal breaker if you REALLY want one. They both SHED! The Golden hair seems to roll into little tumble weeds while the lab hair gets into every nook and cranny of your house. With either dog you are likely to end up with hair in your food at some point. As with any dog you need to work with it to have it reach it's potential. SOCIALIZE with all types of dogs and people (kids). Train. Training is a state of mind. Positive reinforcement is essential. It is a real treat to have a dog well behaved enough to take places. Always supervise any dog with kids. All dogs are pack animals and you are taking a puppy from it's pack and adding it to yours. Don't expect a kid to be totally responsible for the dog. As they say, the best age for a kid to be responsible for a dog is 40. There are tons of Lab mixes at shelters and there are also Lab rescue groups. Neither breed will be mature until about 2 to 3 years of age. Lots of great books and training vids out there. Just remember, POSITIVE training techniques. My sister has Goldens. I think she has had more health problems with hers than I had with my lab. (Healthy until age 12 when I lost her.) Pick a good breeder. You check them out. See if they own both parents or at least one. If they have a filthy house and sell many different breeds of dogs, run! They should have questions for you too. Happily, after being with no pet for a year and a half, I am getting a Labrador pup after the holidays. I can hardly wait for the journey to begin! P.S. There is no such critter as a 'Golden Lab'. Yellow Lab/Golden Retriever
I love both breeds. I myself had a black lab who we just lost in November at the age of 14. He was the most loving, loyal, and gentle boy. He and my 3 year old were best friends. I had roommates who had a Golden and she was equally as sweet and loyal. No matter which you choose you can't go wrong. We now have a one year old yellow lab, and may add another lab or golden in the future.
I love Golden Retriever ❤
My dog is half & half; her mum was a golden retriever and her dad was a lab. She's amazing and a tough old bird, she was very ill at aged 9 and had to have a serious operation that the vet was sceptical she would survive. I'm pleased to say that she's now 13, she's showing signs of her age especially in her back legs but she's still awesome, lovable and funny 😍 oh and a massive piggie 😂🤣
I have owned both and both were wonderful dogs. But then I have also owned a collie, a Nova Scotia duck tolling retriever (yes, there is such a breed), and a wirehaired terrier. All were wonderful dogs. Bottom line -- if you befriend a dog of any breed or a mixed breed, you will have a friend for life.
A lab's coat is MUCH easier to care for.
Exactly I mean their fur is waterproof and dirt doesn't
stick to it
Something I most definitely agree with. Even while knowing this I want a Golden over a lab
All you do with a golden is brush the dirt out. My Shelties have such thick hair and it takes a while to dry them, even with the dryer!
You talking yellow lab, or lab retriever?
I beg to differ. My lab though......
Had a Golden for 17 years and currently have a 12 year English black lab... great and super smart dogs
17 years? Thats pretty impressive, didn't know they could last that much
Scott Wow your dogs have long lives. My dogs only lived until 10 years and passed away.
He escaped all the time and would go out for his own walks for hours on top of the 4 miles a day my dad would walk him.. Golden’s need so much exercise
English labs are amazing! Almost a different breed from the American/working labs. Do you hear your dogs not a lab hes so big lol
I see him in your profile picture
I have both of them......simply cant stop loving them
I love both dogs, but I have to say that in my experience, Golden Retrievers are the best dogs ever.
Having been a duck hunter all my life, I have owned and hunted both. Both are remarkable dogs, true. But my favorite was, and always will be, a Lab. I ran my all-time favorite Lab, named Coal (a male), in field trials in Virginia. He was the best dog I ever owned. And a great companion. Goldens are great too, but in my experience, Labs have retained more of the working dog characteristics in their bloodlines than the Golden while remaining GREAT companion dogs. The Golden has become so popular with Yuppies and Millennials as a "family" dog that they have been bred indiscriminately by puppy mills just churning out "product dogs" for the "dog as an ornament" crowd. Just like the Irish Retriever breed was ruined, the Golden breed is on the same path. Oh, and one other thing that every hunter that has sat in a duck blind with Labs, Goldens or Chesapeakes knows... a wet Lab doesn't smell as strong. :)
Goldens are very intelligent.
Woof!
Both breeds are very smart, but its true Labs tend to require more training. Our obedience school dog trainer said, "you can train a golden with a feather, but you need a 2x4 to train a Lab." Once trained though, you'll see Labs as the top dog breed for bomb sniffing, airport security, and guide and service dogs. They're both awesome dogs.
So are labs there both smart
They both are
My golden must be an exception...
We went from a Golden Retriever to a Yellow Lab. Energy levels in the lab are night and day compared to the Golden,Golden is more of a human with traits,politeness and maybe smarts. Both are incredible family dogs, very friendly and you couldn't go wrong adopting either breed.
I personally love the labs because I was five when I got my first family yellow lab and now I am 13 and got my actual first black lab Izzy who we use for hunting. I have learned so much from these dogs. Don’t get mad at me though I think golden retrievers are good dogs too.😂
Love and have both. The biggest difference in the ones we have had is that the labs stayed 'puppyish' longer. Both our goldens calmed down at about a year old. Both labs stayed pretty excitable until about two years old. I can't imagine having any other types of dogs. They are both great!
There have been three labs in my life, all very special and well loved. There's nothing to compare, but all dogs are unique gifts of God.
We have two older Labs. One male gold and a female chocolate. I have loved Labs since I was a little girl. Our family have always had Labs as pets. The only drawback I would say is that they don’t live a long life. We had a female live to 15 but mostly it’s between 12-15 years. I would recommend them for a family.
I have had a number of Labs but I think that the Golden retriever is beautiful as well. They are sadly, predisposed to cancer-specifically hemangiosarcoma. Heartbreaking....
Too much in-breeding, sadly.
I had a rescue lab who got it and fortunately I came home and found him before it took him. ICU at the emergency vet, blood transfusions, ultrasounds, CT's. Surgery isn't practical, so chemo and Yunnan Baiyao. He lived over two years more, when they told me he probably wouldn't last the weekend . Most expensive free dog I ever had, but such a gentle soul.
He got 4 mg of chlorambucil daily and 6 capsules of the Yunnan Baiyao- that's what stopped the bleeding. Had to order it from China. Foodwise he got the same food I always fed- Taste of the Wild- bison and venison. My boy was the sweetest lab I'd ever had as well. (though they are all sweet) He was special and I wouldn't' have done things any different.
Yes , he did. I came home from work and he was down in the yard. Extremities ice cold, rapid heart rate and unable to stand- in other words, he was in hypovolemic shock. Got him in the car, raced to the emergency vet. Fluids, cardiac monitoring, blood transfusions....then the meds. The chemo kept the tumor from growing further. It was wrapped around the back side of his right kidney, so there was always the possibility of kidney failure and there was a possibility that it had gotten into his liver- they could never tell. But it was the Yunnan Baiyao that stopped the internal bleeding and kept it from restarting. I had never heard of it before but the vet recommended it highly and I believe that the two meds in tandem was what gave him the two extra years. One top of that, he was a happy playful dog throughout. No one would have ever guessed he had cancer.
The cancer issue is actually more related to spaying and neutering, especially early (less the 1 year). UC Davis has the study on this and easily found with a Google search. significant increase in 3 cancers (hemangiosarcoma, lymphoma, Mass Cell tumors) and 2 joint disorders (hip dysplasia, and cranial cruciate ligament also known in humans ask the ACL) the CCL is more due to early spay/neutering as the long bone in the leg grows longer print more pressure on the ligaments.
The first dog I ever had was a golden, and he was a fat tub of love. My dad says there's a possibility he was from a line that was mix with a Saint Bernard due to just how big our dog was, and I can see it.
He was an excellent hunter too, and by that I mean he killed everything from groundhogs to deer. He could never catch rabbits though, but he tried his hardest. We never wanted him to kill things, but he did it so he can bring back what he caught for us. He was a good boy :)
Labs like to sit in doorways so you can’t close the door 😂
This makes so much sense.. I just got a lab/golden mixed puppy and a lot of his personality is lab! He never moves out of the way when I try to close the fridge or any door in general lmao
When I was 1 years my dad brought a lab which was also almost a year. We both were soo close ... He died on my 13th birthday;( The impact he made on my life was sooo much. Now I'm 17 and adopted another lab which kinda looks like him..and we named him same as our first dog:)
I'm in love with Golden Retrievers!
All labs matter ! Good info.
Father to goldador 1 All GOLDENS matter. That is all.
Steve Carras ok I'll admit it......you are right! Best wishes.
all animal lives matter LOL I had to.....
reba kows NICE Reba....lmbo !
Father to goldador 1 true
I love them both.. they are intelligent, loving, friendly and they looks smiling all the time --hahaha!
They're both great dogs. Personally, I had a yellow lab who was the best dog I've ever owned. I had to say goodbye to him when he was 13 1/2 years old and I miss him every day...
I've had both, and loved both!
Labs are slightly easier to groom, with the short coats, and they seem slightly less......neurotic than Goldens, though that is based on a far-to-small sample size.
I'll go with Labs, but really, you can't go wrong with either!
My lab was my favorite dog ever. I have had shepherds, rohtweilers, some mixed breeds, but Thor was the best. Sadly he passed last year, but he had a fan club that circled the globe, he was the official greeter for a hotel in Costa Rica. I love both Golden’s and labs , but Thor convinced me that only a lab could go unchallenged as far as my best pet ever .. thanks for the video !
My black lab is sooooo cute! I can’t live without her.
I love 'em both! Labs have a more boxy shape to their bodies and heads, while Goldens are a bit more sleek in both body & head. Also, Labs are short-haired and Goldens are long-haired. My dream dog is one of each!
Labradors shed less than Goldens, which was the deciding factor for me personally.
I own a Golden and a dog daycare business, and I'd say that the first thing I always notice about the Labs we watch over is how stocky they are; meanwhile, Goldens are usually bred to look graceful and pretty, the Fabios of the dog breed world. My husband also claims that all Labs have a very pronounced dip-knot on the back of their skull (between the ears) comparatively with Goldens. His proof is that he's patted a LOT of Labradors and Goldens ... but I don't know how scientific that is!
Thanks for the video! Great information laid out plainly, and the narrator's voice is so warm and friendly.
Both are great dogs!! I have a chocolate Lab who is so smart!!
I have a black lab golden retriever mix, shes 2 y/o and has a jet black coat with longer fur around her neck area and rear legs, one of the most gorgeous dogs I've ever kept.
both are the best and incomparable, who agrees with me?
I prefer labrador!!!
Love both breeds. We are Golden people but both have overwhelmingly wonderful traits including intelligence, kindness and loyalty. A Lab was actually the original sire of the first Golden litter in Scotland. You can see so many similarities in the breeds. Goldens are unswerving sweet dogs but Labs also tend to be friendly and loyal. You can't miss on either a Lab or Goldy if they're properly bred.
Love the Labrador’s, I had a yellow female and now I have a chocolate male. My sisters has had numerous Golden’s and my best friend has a golden. They are the best!
Another good way to differentiate Labs from Goldens(even though they can look alike as puppies) is Golden’s will develop more hair on the top of the head which can look kind of puffy as young puppies. Also, there are two types of Labs, English and American. English Labs descended from the Newfoundland and were used to retrieve fishing nets. The English Lab became extremely popular in Europe. The American Lab was created in the U.S. where several English Labs were brought in and crossed with Pointer and a few other things to create the perfect gun dog. American Labs tend to be taller, leaner, and more energetic than the English Lab. Most of the time(unless you have a short haired English Lab) American Labs also have shorter hair. Either way, Labs are great dogs.
There both such amazing dogs I am so lucky to have both.
No mention of separation anxiety? I think it is super important to let people know both breeds are known for it. My labs have all been absolutely amazing dogs, bombproof with children, but they need to BE WITH PEOPLE. If you plan to be away 8 hours or longer Monday to Friday get them into dog daycare or have two and deal with their mischief, don't crate them all day! All the goldens I know are the same and need a companion to be left for long periods - they are happy with a cat :-)
i had female 4mos labrador retreiver so playful, lovable n wise...🐶
I had a Golden Retriever/Yellow Labrador mix named Cooper. I adopted him when he was about 7 years old, and he was so easy to train. He was an angel, and lived to be 13
Goldens make great counterfeit Lions --- Get a really long haired Golden, shave the fur a little short and leave a thick mane, and tuff of fur at the end of the tail. fluff up with aussie hair gell -- you get a cool looking lion! Actually can fool people at first.
I'm going to do this. Why didn't I think of this before? 🐶🦁
I have the sweetest, calmest most loving Golden! That being shared, we love all animals!! 💗💗💗
My favorite is a retriever
Like if u agree
They are both retrievers tho...
@@makomlive2713 r/ wooosh
@@makomlive2713 that's the point. All retrievers are fantastic.
We have just gotten our first Lab and I am in love. I have had a Golden and loved him. It is hard to compare though because we got the Lab as a puppy and the Golden when he was a couple years old. He was a great dog. Buck, our Lab is incredible. We have started a RUclips channel about his adventures.
I'll take one of each.
I love my golden. She was stolen from our yard guessing kids. Someone found her and posted on a lost dog sight. Extremely friendly dog is how he described her. We got her back, my daughter was posting lost dog at the same time as him. She is a rescue dog, best thing I ever did, Got her at 7 months she is 10 years old now and still a bundle of joy
BLACK LABS MATTER!!
Very true, especially in the People's Republic of California...…… Newsom, you suck!
hahahaha,,
Defender of Freedom you said it all. Black labs matter.
Lol
DefenderOfFreedom what bout chocolate
I’ve had both and several as well. Both aim to please, both are chewer’s especially if bored, both love unconditionally and in my experience wonderful each come with their own personality. Goldens can be stubborn and scaredy dogs if they see something they haven’t seen before.
Labbies have always been my favorite!
Agree. I love them both!
LABS are the best dogs!
By appearance as an adult I prefer Golden, but a lab fits better with me, so now I have one. My puppy is really white like the one in your picture. Have you a site where I can see more?
I've had both, and can say the main difference was how they greeted you. My golden would always have to rush around to find something to give to me, whereas my lab would just be jumping around.
Always been a “Golden Girl” but I sure love the Labs! Put the two together and breed them, it’s a newer breed called the “Goldador” their life span increases, from 10-12 yrs to 12-15 yrs. it supposably gets rid of the Cancer gene in the Golden’s.
And I also thought that the Golden Retriever was made from breeding a Labrador Retriever with a Cocker Spaniel!! Makes total sense to me. They’re both great dogs, and with the Golden, you’re getting some Labrador in the genes too!!
♥️💜❤️DOGS RULE 💜❤️💜
lol there is no "cancer Gene" and most mixed breed designer breeds (goldendoodles, cockapoo, puggle) bring both dogs health issues into one dog.
Mandie, there isn't a cancer gene in goldens (hopefully one will be found!), there is no such thing as a "Goldador" so it isn't a breed of dog and it will not increase the golden's lifespan. This dogs is a mix breed that someone probably figured out how to rob owners of their money. Goldens were not made from a breeding of a Lab and Cocker! Google The Origins of the Golden Retriever Revisited
By Jeffrey Pepper. The author is a golden breeder/judge and has a great interest in the breed. It isn't a long read and is located on the Golden Retriever Club of America's website and this has a whole bunch of stuff you might be interested in.
I love goldens. Let's don't knock the mixes, though. They often do have the best traits of their ancestors.My current two ( terrier sized toy breed mixes) each came from disastrous situations and are still gifted, devoted little dogs. And very sturdy.
People ask which is "better", and that is their first misstep. Different owners prefer and enjoy different nuances, which is totally fine. I would call Goldens slightly more 'sensitive', if that's what a person most wants, whereas Labs, though wonderful companions too, have a little bit more of a rough & ready independence mixed into their temperament (which I personally love). GR's, in general, are probably even more intelligent (slightly) than the very bright LR breed, but again, both come through with flying colors. To me Goldens are even gentler, and Labs a bit hardier. But now we're splitting dog hairs. Which nuances do you like best? That, I think, is the question.
Both breeds look huggable and kissable. However I have my soft spot for Labradors which I can't really explain and give scientific reasons for it occurring.
me too. But I know the reason. When I was 8 I was abducted for 9 days, taken 200 miles from the city I lived in. I escaped, and ran out onto the street and down the road taking random turns. A black lab came up to me and dropped a ball at my feet. I didn't know what to do. So he picked up the ball and walked away a few feet, then turned to look at me, gruffed with the ball in his mouth. Kept doing it until I followed him. Lead me to his home a few 100 feet away, his onwer called the police. The dog rescued me. I've had labs ever since. I have had golden too, they are so wonderful, but I would always have a bit of a hole in soul without a lab.
Two wonderful dogs. I have had three black labs and all were kind, intelligent and active!
I've had BOTH and I can't decide between the 2. LOL
Love both. Grew up with goldens as a kid. Have switched to labs for one big reason. Much easier to groom. Love labs so much we now breed them. Hate to ever sound like a breed there are many great dogs, evens "mutts" are great. But do lean toward the labs.
Got the best of both... a Goldador!
My dog is a mixed breed between a lab and a bloodhound... He is really social and well behaved but he also loves to sniff everything
Rather then comparing them, enjoy them while we know them, because with the way our environment is going we won't have them in 250 years.
This is my first 117 pound black lab...........smart, very active, loves the water....just like me! We are best buds!
We love our Lab. I don’t think we will ever own another breed.
Davidtheinfidel You should try out a Goldie! And I'm not forcing you to do it. I only recommend you can try something new!
Labradors can be 60-62cm tall in shoulders. Mine is 61cm. and at the best shape he had 41kg. Now is 7yrs old... little bit obese, between 45-47kg...
Labs are super frendly dogs and they simply addore food - any kind, anywhere, anytime!
I love Labs! They are the best!
I have a labador retriever she is awesome they are the best dogs I think
In our family we have a little lab retriever. She is incredible and so lovely. There’s not a day that isn’t the happiest of our lives with her by our side. We LOVE you so much our little Medea 🐕🐕
golden: too much fur
lab: not that much fur
me: i chose lab :p
Lol. My granddog is a white lab. I puppysat him for a summer and two years later I still found bits of his hair in my car. He still ranks at the top of our family's best dogs.
@Sippin' on gay chlorine 😂😂😂😂
Labs shed sooooooooo much! It's unbelievable. I don't know how my pup Hubert still has hair
Theu shed much more than goldens tho
I choose both 😍😍😍
