My local animal shelter has a short haired Golden/Lab mix. You can come up and adopt him. He's a great dog.

Unfortunately, there are idiots who purposely breed these two to get what they call ';Golden Labs.';
Please support rescue. NEVER, EVER give a cent to people who are breeding mixed breed dogs. I am not being rude, I am telling you the truth. Regardless of their claims, they are ALL backyard breeders and puppymills, as all they care about is money. They don't care about the thousands of dogs, purebred and mixed, young and old, that are literally dying as they wait for a new home. They also don't care about the health of the animals that they breed. By buying from these ';breeders'; you are supporting the puppy mill industry.

ANY dog/cat/rabbit/etc of any breed, mix or age can be found in shelters and breed rescues, as this video will tell you:

Shelters and breed rescues alike are filled to the brim with designer mutts, and here is just a few of them:

If you're interested in adopting a dog but live too far away, there is often the option of having a dog transported to you/closer to you. Google ';dog rescue transportation.'Is it possible to breed a lab and golden retriever and get short-hair puppies?
Possible, BUT the pups would be called--
A mutt
mix
mixed breed
mongrel
AND the breeder would be called--
irresponsible
a BYB
a Back Yard Breeder
When breeding for certain qualities, you could get the exact opposite of what you want-- ex-- someone wants a domestic cat with the markings of a wild cat. So, the breed a SDC with a tiger, and they could just as likely get a wild cat with the markings of a domestic cat.
it is but not every litter will. Just buy a lab or a golden.Im a golden fan and i find most labs ill trained and quite brain dead( I worked as a dog trainer and at a dog kennel) but stop mixing breeds if it wasnt by accident because people spent over hundreds of years perfecting the breed to its standards and people like you go and ruin them. The whole reason they crossed a golden and a poodle and labs and poodles were to create a hypo allergnic service dog for people in need.
you'd get a mix between the two. you can have golden hair, lab hair and anything inbetween.
this is a common mix found in every shelter across america. if you want one so bad go out tomorrow get everything you need for a dog in your home, be able to provide a premium food, and vet care and get one by golly. it's not hard. there's about 50 of these mixes sitting in a shelter right now that are going to die soon.
Possible...yes.....likely....no
Most lab mizes that I have seen (with labs and/or other short haired breeds) tend to have longer coats than the labe themselves.
If you are asking because you want to breed such a mix...hello to another new BYB...(yes, that may be rude but true)...
If you are asking because you want to get one....get a Lab if you want short hair.....any BYB will be more than happy to tell you that ';yes'; the dog will be short coated.....
Anyhow....don't support it!
Good luck....
In case you think I am a ';snob'; and have purebre dogs...nevermind...3 of 4 of mine are mixed breed rescues...
i have one and he has short hair but sheds like the dickens. Some of his littermates have long hair and other had short hair. You never know what you're gonna get when you mix two dogs.
Better off with just getting the lab. Trust me, I love my dog, but responsible breeders don't mix breeds. I learned the hard way. My dog has extremely dysplastic hips and he's only 2 years old. Had I done my research and gotten a well bred lab or a well bred golden from a reputable breeder, I could have avoided this. Again, I wouldn't trade my dog for the world... but I got him from a BYB and he is not well bred at all. He's a handsome devil though!
it is possible but it is not a guarantee and if you want a short haired dog then just go to the pound and get one. that is a much better idea than intentionally breeding mixed breed dogs.
Yes,and you can find them in any shelter. Please don't breed them on purpose.

Although I agree with the other posters on the fact that you should adopt, to answer your question, you'd need to know about the parents of the two dogs you are interested in breeding.
Yes, but it isn't guaranteed. And puppy fur is often different than adult fur, so you may end up with an adult dog who has long golden retriever fur instead of short lab fur.
Labs already have short hair, so why not just get a lab?
Don't breed a dog for a reason as stupid as the one you have just stated.
GET ONE OR THE OTHER-%26amp; QUIT MESSING WITH INDISCRIMINANT BREEDING. LEAVE WELL ENOUGHT ALONE....
yes it is possible but y not just get a labrador puppy. its not always what you want.
Then no.
Why not just get a lab?
Yes you can, because I have one.
