My dog's breed: Golden Retriever or Labrador? Health card confusion.

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Golden Retriever | Male | unneutered | 6 months and 16 days old | 17 lbs

Hi! Can you please tell me the breed of my dog?! His previous owner told us he was a purebred bred golden retriever but his health card says ‘Labrador retriver’ But the description says ‘golden retriever’?! Could you please tell me his definite breed? I’ve also attached a photo of him and his Health card below.

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!

Benelly looks like a golden retriever. I don't know what to say about the health card, they aren't official. The only way to know for sure is to have his AKC/CCK or other pure bred papers. Otherwise we can only go on what he looks like!

I hope this helps!
