Do golden retrievers and German shepherds get along well?
No, the Labrador Retriever is recognised as a completely separate breed to the Golden Retriever. All though both of these breeds were originally bred to retrieve, they were bred along different lines. The Labrador Retriever has a shorter coat and can come in black, brown (chocolate) and blonde (yellow). The Golden Retriever (as it's name suggests) is almost always golden in colour with a longer, flowing coat. There are several other Retriever breeds that look similar, including the Flat-coated Retriever, Curly Coated Retriever, Chesapeake Bay Retriever and the Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever. All of these breeds were bred for a similar purpose but are each individual Kennel Club recognised breeds, except the Golden Retriever and the Labrador Retriever are much more common.

American labradors have a more sleek body frame, whereas English labs have more of a squared body. Their heads are much more square and their shoulders are much wider. The American lab has a longer, thinner snout.In terms of Disposition, the American labs tend to be a bit more hyper, and the English labs are much calmer. The only problem with the English lab is that they tend to be heavier in stature than the American labs.actually i have an American breed labrador and lets just say he isn't running on all 4 cylinders. he is very tall and muscular....he is a happy dog with a kind personality. English breeds are generally calmer and shorter!
Can a golden retriever birth go on a few days?
Yes, a golden retriever's birthing process, known as whelping, can sometimes extend over a few days. Typically, the active labor lasts several hours, but it can take longer if the dog has a larger litter or if complications arise. It's not uncommon for a dog to take breaks between delivering puppies, which can lead to a longer overall birthing period. If there are any concerns about the duration or health of the mother or puppies, it's advisable to consult a veterinarian.

Are golden retrievers a hunting breed?
Some Golden Retrievers are hunting dogs. Once upon a time all Golden retrievers were hunters but when people found out how good of a pet they made many kept them for pets only and bred the hunting instinct out of them, also the Golden Retriever Club of America rewrote the standard for the show dog so that the body type is to stocky and heavy for a hunting dog and the longer hair of the show dog limits its usefulness as a hunter. As a result of these changes few Golden Retrievers today will hunt and there has not been a dual champ ( a field champ & a bench champ) for many, many years. To find a good hunting Golden Retriever you must go to a breeder of hunting Golden Retrievers.
Which is a better guard dog a golden retriver or a German Shepard?
A Golden Retriever is a fantastic dog. Usually it takes them longer to mature but the reward is worth it at the end. Guard dogs aren't the best ones that anyone can get because the have the tendency to try to bite smaller kids that they can see their faces. I wouldn't recommend the guard dog.Baileigh
