Golden Retriever mixes
What is a Golden Retriever mix? Golden Retriever mixes are created by crossing a Golden Retriever with another dog breed. The offspring of this mix is often referred to as Golden Retriever Mix dog. There are many reasons why so many Golden Retriever cross breeds are increasing in popularity. Golden Retrievers are among the best family dogs that are known for their friendly temperament, high intelligence and desire to please the owner which makes this dog among the easiest breeds to train. These are just some of the qualities that make Golden Retriever mixes popular among dog owners. Golden Retriever mix dogs frequently inherit the even temperament, friendly nature and many other good traits that Goldens are know for. Of course, Golden Retriever mix puppies also inherit temperament traits as well as physical traits from the other parent breed that the Golden Retriever was crossed with. There is always an element of uncertainty as to which genetic traits mix dog breeds inherit from the parent breeds and that offers an element of surprise for potential Golden Retriever mix owners. Purebred dogs tend to exhibit appearance as well as temperament that resembles the typical traits of the breed while the offspring of mixed breeds possess the qualities that come from both parental breeds and can be rather unpredictable since science at this point does not offer a reliable way to predict which physical and temperamental traits will be inherited by the mix dog.
Golden Retriever dogs were developed in Great Britain for the purpose of retrieving shot game. This large dog weighs up to 75 pounds and in height can reach up to 24 inches. Golden's life expectancy is from 10 to 13 years. Golden Retrievers are quick to learn and respond well to obedience training. Some of the temperament characteristics of Golden Retrievers include friendly nature, confident, stable and outgoing personality. Golden Retriever crossbreeds may inherit Golden's appearance and temperament traits in combination with the traits of the other parent breed. Mixed dog breeds are difficult to predict in terms of appearance and temperament.
