A golden Labrador is just a Labrador with a golden or yellow fur color. It can also mean that that dog is a cross breed between a golden retriever and a Labrador. A Labrador retriever is a lab that retrieves an object such as the game that a hunter shot or a stick or toy that you threw.

It's the same thing. Labrador is just short for Labrador retriever. Since there are many types of retrievers you can just say "Labrador" (or "lab") and people will know what you mean.

They are closely related but distinct breeds. Read the AKC descriptions for detailed information.

Both are just the same breed so there is no difference, with "Labrador" the short form of "Labrador Retriever".
