The method of observation is obvious!

One long hair, one short hair, and the color of the coat, I don't need to say more.

I'm super dizzy, the simplest is a long-haired dog with a golden retriever, and a Labrador is a short-haired dog. The coat color is also easy to distinguish, golden retrievers are mostly white, pale yellow and golden yellow, Labradors are mostly brown, black.

Looking at the hair, the long hair is the golden retriever, the short is Lala, and the color, the golden retriever only has about the color of gold, and Lala has three major colors: cream, brown and black.

The golden retriever should be bigger, the hair should be longer, it should be good-looking, and cute, and the Labrador has a black one, but the golden retriever does not.

Note that the eyes of the golden retriever are larger than those of the Labrador, and the pupils are also larger, and I personally feel that the kiss of the Labrador is longer than that of the Golden Retriever.

The hairs are also somewhat curly and long-haired.

The length of the hair. The golden retriever is long, the Labrador is short.

As soon as you compare, the intuitive feeling comes out.

Golden Retrievers have longer hair, while Labradors have shorter hair. The Labradoodle has a smooth double layer of back hair, and the Golden Retriever's back hair is straight or wavy. Golden Retrievers have only one coat color, yellow, which ranges from dark to light; Whereas, Labradors come in 3 coat colors, black and chocolate in addition to yellow.

The face shape of a Golden Retriever is shorter than that of a Labradoodle. Golden Retrievers have shorter ears than Labradors. The Labradoodle has its ears hanging snugly against its head, more backwards.

The Labradoodle has a thick tail at the base and no edge hair. Light Golden Retriever and Yellow Labrador puppies can be difficult to identify, but if you look closely, you can still see the difference between the two. The Labradoodle's coat is short, straight, very dense, and can be felt thick and hard to the touch.

Golden Retriever puppies, although their hair is not fully developed, it can be clearly seen that their hair is still a little longer and slightly curly compared to Labrador puppies.

The main differences between a Labrador Gun Retriever, i.e., a Gun Retriever, and a Labrador Retriever are as follows:

The posterior ankle is moderately flexed, and the limbs are of moderate length.

2. Gun hound: body length (the distance from the shoulder joint to the end of the hip) is slightly greater than the shoulder height (the vertical distance from the withers to the ground). The distance from the elbow to the ground is equal to half the height of the shoulder.

The chest extends to the elbows, but does not make a strong impression. The body must be of sufficient length to allow for a straight, free and effective stride; But he must not appear short in silhouette and overly long in body or tall with slender legs.
