Building the Perfect Dog: The Golden Labrador Retriever?
Posted by GuestW on Dec 24, 2008 in Dogs • No commentsGolden Labrador Retriever
It has been known long that some crossbreeds seem to do better than their parents of either breed. The trick is finding the best breeds to cross. Many of these crossbreeds even go on to become established breeds by themselves. One of the best crossbreeds in dogs is seen in the Labrador/Golden Retriever puppy, known also as Golden Labrador Retrievers. As puppies, they readily show the best of both the Labrador Retriever and the Golden Retriever.

Both Labrador and Golden Retrievers are dogs that really like people and are looking to please. Keep in mind that not every one is alike, and bad training will always make a disobedient, fearful dog (regardless of breed), but on the whole, a Labrador/Golden Retriever puppy is a born people lover. They are fascinated by people and seem to easily bond with them. They also have a lot of strength and endurance, which comes in good for service and search and rescue dogs.
Best Seeing Eye Dogs
According to service dog experts and charities that train seeing eye dogs in England, the best dog for the job is a Labrador/Golden retriever crossbred. There is an extensive breeding program run in England by Guide Dogs to raise dogs to be seeing eye dogs. A Labrador/Golden Retriever puppy is first tested at about eight weeks of age to see what his personality is like.
A seeing eye dogs training is never really over. Many a Labrador/Golden Retriever puppy fails the program and is put up for adoption as a pet. It costs about $70,000 US Dollars to take a Golden Labrador Retriever puppy and turn it into a specially trained service dog. They work until old age or illness forces them to retire, and then they are placed in care homes for the remainder of their lives.
Other Facts
Although many online Labrador puppies information web sites will say that a Golden Labrador is always yellow, this is not true. Occasionally there is a black or chocolate Labrador/Golden Retriever puppy born. American Canine Hybrid Club is where you can register your Labrador Golden Retriever puppy.
Each day, there is a newborn Golden / Labrador Retriever puppy who makes that first step to being a drug sniffing dog, cancer sniffing dog, service dog or a search and rescue dog. They all can rescue us from ourselves and our selfishness and help give our souls back to ourselves.
