What is difference between labrador and golden retriever?
They are different breeds of dogs. Irish Setters are always a mahogany red. Golden Retrievers are traditionally a golden color, but can also vary to a dark red. Retrievers were built for water. They have webbed feet and a waterproof undercoat. Setters tend to have straighter hair. Goldens often have wavy hair.
The coat color does not tell you about their natural intelligence. A yellow Labrador will need sun screen on their nose while outside as opposed to a Black or Chocolate Lab. Just like a white Boxer will too.
Actually, Yellow Labradors have a black pigmentation so they have black noses, unless they are a dudley, meaning one parent was a yellow and the other was a chocolate.
no peacocks are solitary birds and most the time dont get along with other birds :p
Is the yellow lab a mixed breed?
yes, but the the colors will not mix because even if the sire is a yellow lab and the dam is a black lab the puppies will come out with one of the 3 varying colors: Black, Polar white-red fox aka a yellow lab, Chocolate, or Silver. The silver labs however are rare. Usually the pups colors will reflect the sire and dam's colors.
What age will your dog stop coming into heat?
Depends on the breed but few breeds ever stop having normal heat cycles. I have had Great Pyrenees that quite having normal cycles around 15 years of age. She lived to be almost 19.
DON'T have the dog spayed The health problems and shortened lifespan are not worth it. just be vigilent and keep her indoors during her heat cycle. (typically every 6 months for 14-21 days each time. she will live a healthier, happier life, and not have problems with bone cancer, urinary incontinence (leaking urine), orthopaedic and dental issues, and a much lower risk of colon cancer. I have been a veterinarian for almost 30 years, so take it to heart when I say that spaying does more harm than good. it is something done for the sole convenience of lazy people who cant be bothered to keep males and females apart every 6 months. it has nothing to do with helping the dogs health in any way and anyone who tells you otherwise is misleading you either because they themselves were misinformed, or because they are part of the propaganda movement trying to convince everyone that spaying is good. in fact just the opposite is true. it is detrimental to the dog's health. and worst of all is those who would spay puppies. without coming into heat a dog will never grow out of chewing, biting, and other destructive puppy behavior. estrus (heat) is essential for normal mental and emothional development as well as strong mature skeletal, cardiovascular, and endocrine systems. Neutering a male does not cause these health problems however. as such this should be your focus, leave your females intact for the good of their health, and only neuter the males.
Boxer dogs are generally playful, laidback animals that are happy to do what their master tells them. Though not particually stubborn they do know what they want; particularly when it comes to food!
Yes, because the longer hair tends to mat, which hurts the dog and can be difficult to comb. There are several appropriate cuts for your Schnauzer, from the classic show cut to the "short all over" kennel cut.
Schnauzers take well to grooming, but it must be introduced slowly. If rushed they can develop a fear of the clippers and it turns from a relaxing massage session into a wrestling match where teeth are always an option.
Well, they are sport dogs and are commonly used as bird dogs too. They are energetic and love playing. Most do like to swim, and with their webbed feet, it makes them really good at it! They are very active and especially like fetch (which can be played in water!).
What language does the name Labrador come from?
labrador was the name of a place in Canada and that's how it got its name
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!What is a labrador retreivers top speed?
45 mph
-----------
I believe this answer to be incorrect. That would make them faster than racing greyhounds which run at 39-40 MPH. I am sure we would see them racing if they indeed ran that fast. I find most medium sized or larger dogs can run as fast or faster than the average human. Top speed for humans is in the mid twenty MPH range over short distances, 100 to 200 yards.

Are labrador retrievers aggressive?
yes but only if you make it really angry or if you train it wrong. If you train it to be bad, then it will be. Also, a golden retriever is rarely known to attack and they are very hard to make angry because they are really loyal dogs. I know this from experience, hope it helped answer your question
What is the life span of a labrador retreiver?
The gestation period of all dogs is 9 weeks.
You should be taking your dogs temperature twice a day from about day 58 on. When your dog's temperature dips drastically, the puppies will be born within 24 hours. A drastic dip is when the dogs temp dips from its normal 101F to about 98F.
That depends entirely on what you want the dog for.
What does brindle color look like?
The same as any other bulldog only they will have a muddy-brown coat color/pattern instead of say pure fawn or red. The color Brindle in dogs can greatly range from a fawn, red, or brown base coat with the classic dark markings and streaks qualifying it as brindle in color. Brindle is basically the term used to describe this unique color pattern.
How long do golden retrievers sleep?
Dogs are made to sleep a lot when they aren't doing anything. This comes from the wolf ancestry. Wolves go like crazy when they are hunting. Once they eat, they can sleep and laze around for several days before hunting, again. the golden, like most dogs, retains this ability to sleep, but also like most dogs, they need those bursts of intense release of energy by running hard, playing, and so on.
It is not unusual for a golden to sleep in the mid-morning after breakfast, be pretty active for awhile, then sleep a couple of hours in the afternoon. After supper, they may like to play vigourously, and then bed down and sleep another 7 or 8 hours, waking just in time for breakfast. Of course each dog has its own sleep timetable.
At what age has a labrador retriever reached full height?
Puppies stop the majority of their growing once they reach about one year old. They continue to grow until they are about 2 years old, but at a much slower pace. After two years old, they fill out and gain more muscle mass.
How much does an adult labrador weigh?

Americans are a few inches taller.
Is a Lab the same as a Golden Retriever?
No, they are entirely different breeds. Both are retrievers, as the Labrador Retriever.
The nickname for the Golden Retriever is "goldie" or a Golden. Both are breeds of dogs.
Within both breeds there is great variation: coat, size, head, jaws.
Labs tend to have short hair; the goldies have longer hair, and if they are inside animals, they have to be brushed more often, unless you just like hair balls in corners and such.
Labs tend to be overly hyper and exitable till they are five, and even after that they don't quite 'grow up' mentally. Retreivers tend to calm down at 3 years of age, so they are more recommended for little kids then the lab. and are among the most registered dogs in the US.
While is is not smart to ever leave a child (your definition and age limits) with a dog alone, generally, these both breeds are not inclined to chew promiscuously upon children. As with all dogs, don't bet the farm on it, however.
Check the links following for images and more information about the two separate and distinct breeds.
