What is the difference between a Golden Retriever and a Golden Labrador Retriever?

Answer 1

Golden Retrievers have webbed feet. Their fur is longer and thicker. They have two coats of fur, the long silky topcoat, and a softer fuzzier undercoat. The fur fans out off the backs of their legs, and they have very prominent fans from the bottom sides of their tails. Goldens tend to have a more narrow face, but that is not always true.

Labs have shorter hair. It is still soft, but does not have the same fuzzy coat under the topcoat. Their heads are usually a little broader. The fans are absent from the backs of the legs and from the tail.

Answer 2

It is quite trivial, Golden Retrivers and labs are quite the same, but Labs are stockier and shorter, Goldens are more elegant and taller, Goldens have long sliky fur, Labs have shorter, easier to manage fur. I have a golden, and i love him but the breed does shed quite a bit twice a year.

Answer 3

Golden retrivers and yellow labs are diffrent breeds of dog. They are both retrivers which means they were bred and raised to go get a hunters kill and bring it back that is whay they have so many similar attributes such as size, apperance, and personality, they are like cousins. One of the main differences between the two is that labradors are water dogs, bred to retrieve ducks, as a result they have short insulated coats, and webbed toes, golden retrievers have long silky coats and lean agile legs. Golden retrievers are good hunting dogs and because they are also cousins to sheep dogs they are very intellegent, they have become better known for their role as family dog though, Labradors are pure bred hunting water dogs, their brain is set to go get bring back and lack a little of the versitility of the golden, but tend to surmont it in athleticism, but these are small variables and general anything a lab can do a golden can and vise versa. Both dogs share a general dispostion of friendly, loyaly, athletic, playful, and loving.

Answer 4

Golden retrievers are dogs that like to retrieve things for hunters like ducks and raccoons. They have a long coat that frequently needs to be groomed (daily is best). They are very calm and loyal at a young age. They are also prone to several different types of cancer.

Labradors are better suited for retrieving waterfowl, like ducks. They have webbed feet and an otter like tail that help them swim. Also a double coat to keep them warm in the water. They are the most popular dog in the United States and England. They are loyal, but extremely hyper until they age 2-3 years old. They are prone to hip and elbow dysplasia and blindness. Make sure to buy from a breeder that has the dam and sire certified for hip, elbow, and eye health to avoid problems.
