they are different by their fur, golden retrievers have long while labs have short. and by what they were used for (their nature) labs were taken on fishing boats over freezing waters, so if a fish escaped, they could swim in after it, golden retrievers were not really used at all. and the amount of shedding golden's shed A LOT!

they are similar by their popularity in the U.S, they do both retrieve although the lab tends to do more, both are usually good with kids, and are taught easily.

(golden retrievers came from labs)
