How to know if my dog is a purebred Lab or a Golden Retriever mix?

Unfortunately we cannot tell if a pet is 100% anything without a DNA test. Also a pet this young is impossible to tell what breed it is. I would recommend having the pet grow up a bit and then have him tested when he is about 4-6 months of age. You can go to any vet of your choosing, although it may require you to drive a bit to get to if there isn't one that isn't affiliated with the breeder in your area. It sounds a bit ridiculous that your vet isn't willing to do a simple DNA test though, so I would look into getting another vet if this is the case. You need an unbiased opinion here and someone willing to do tests that you are requesting. I hope that you get things sorted out, and hopefully you have gotten what you have paid for. Best of luck to you! Take care.

Maltipoo/lab i seriously doubt it, Chihuahua/lab i can maybe see it. The only way to know for sure if it is a pure breed is to have a DNA test done. many companies offer this service and the process is easy and quite cheap. this is just one example: http://dnamydog.com/

Bongo really does not look like any specific breed so must be a mixed breed, The only way to know if it is a pure breed is to have a DNA test done. many companies offer this service and the process is easy and quite cheap. this is just one example: http://dnamydog.com/

Cute pup! This dog looks like a German Shepherd mix to me, possibly German Shepherd labrador retriever. There is no way to know for certain what breed a dog is (or what mixture) just by looking. However, there are genetic tests available, such as the Wisdom panel, that can be done to get more definitive information on their breed. http://www.wisdompanel.com/ Hope this helps!

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Kia. There are at home DNA test kits, such as Wisdom Panel, available for dogs now. You take a cheek swab and then mail the sample into the company. They will provide you with your dog's breed composition as well as information about the breed (or breeds) such as for predispositions certain diseases. I hope this information helps!

Hi there! Great question. It will be hard to make a distinction until Simba is finished growing, but he looks to me like what we would call an American lab. American labs are taller with a longer muzzle and narrower head, while English labs are shorter, with a bigger, block like head shape (similar to Newfoundlands). These distinctions are merely a result of breeding and are not recognized as distinctions by groups such as the American Kennel Club (AKC) who set breed standards. Hopefully this answers your question. One thing is for sure, Simba is absolutely adorable!

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!
