Golden lab?

[IRescue452]

Its either a "yellow lab" or a "golden retriever". There is no "golden lab". I see this way too often. Most times its a labrador of the yellow coat coloring, sometimes it looks like a golden retriever and I don't know if its a mix with lab. People need to stop mixing breed names. Maybe we should go back to using Russian Retriever as the name for a golden retriever.

I believe it's a "designer" breed name. golden/lab mixes are very popular here.

not always, there are a lot of people who think that Yellow labs are actually callled "Golden labs". thats the problem, Golden/lab mixes are called "Golden Labs", however purebred Yellow labs are also often refered to as "Golden Labs".

Given the popularity of both breeds, I am not surprised there are many mixes between the two, accidental and not. But also, some people don't know that every color from white to red is officially a "Yellow" Lab, so may call a darker Lab a golden lab.

well intentional or not - designer breed or not -
a Golden Lab can be exactly what it is said to be. A golden retriever/labrador retriever mix. And in that case, the person would be right in saying they have a Golden Lab MIX...
most people think Keegan is an Irish Setter - I don't know why - she's too
'curvy' and too short for an irish Setter. (yup that's it she's CURVY and SHORT just like her momma!!!)

I thought a golden lab was a golden retriever/labrador retriever mix!
