Information About The Black Lab Golden Retriever Mix Breed
If you are looking for the perfect family pet, one with excellent genes, temperament, and very good health, the Black Lab is ideal. To achieve this, however, you should carefully consider whether or not to adopt a Black Lab. Black Lab Golden Retriever mixes can reach up to 24 inches in height.
Typically, Black Lab Golden Retriever mix puppies cost approximately ten to twelve hundred dollars. In addition to this, it is typical for these dogs to run at least twenty-five percent over their original purchase price, if not more. This is due to the additional expenses associated with breeding. Because of these costs, it is extremely difficult to adopt a black Labrador crossed with another golden retriever puppy.
The most likely reason that owners choose to adopt a Black Labrador mixed with another dog is that they have health concerns or they just do not want to deal with housebreaking a purebred lab. It is important to remember that many purebred labs are prone to some serious ailments such as bloat, heartworm, kidney problems, and eye conditions. Because of these illnesses, it costs the owner thousands of dollars to take their beloved pet to the vet. Not to mention, black labs do not make very good companions because of their size. They are much too large and heavy.
While it is possible to find a Labrador mixed with a smaller dog, it is more difficult to find one that is half the size.
In addition, the cost would be even more substantial. Many people who adopt black puppies from a breeder or other person do so because they want to raise them alongside their breed. It makes more sense to adopt the larger black Lab dogs because they will fit nicely with the black Labrador mixes. However, it is difficult to find parents that are the right size for this particular mix.
The American Kennel Club (AKC) approves of the Black Labrador mix as long as both parents qualify for AKC obedience classes and there are no temperament issues. The only issue is that the mother and father must both have passed vet-administered temperament tests before being allowed to mate.
If the mother or father is not available, then the best choice would be a black and white or black and tan retriever crossed with a smaller toy retriever. Toy retrievers are generally mild-mannered and very friendly. They make very good family companions and are usually very good at hunting. They make excellent first-time family pets because they are so easy to train and are not demanding.
Because of their sweet disposition and loving nature, the black Labrador mix makes a great pet for most families.
They get along with all children well and are not demanding when it comes to food, however, you will need to purchase their dry food from a reputable company because they can sometimes be quite expensive. As a companion dog though, you can expect them to be somewhat snappy if you are picky about what they eat.
A black Labrador retriever mix is the perfect pet for anyone interested in a large deep-chested dog. These dogs get very big and strong and make great show dogs. They also work well as protection dogs in protecting the family, but they are also quite capable of working as live-in dogs. They are fairly friendly toward other dogs, but they should be treated with care as any other dog and they can be aggressive if they feel threatened.
The Black Labrador retriever mix is great for families with young children because they are very gentle. They do not have a lot of energy, but this breed is known for its endurance and stamina. The American Kennel Club classifies these dogs as working, alert, well-balanced, and friendly. Their health issues are mild and their grooming needs are minimal.
