I think that's a Field Golden

A Savannah golden

I'm pretty sure Savannah Golden was the name of my lapdancer last night.

Bwahahaha

🏆

🤦🏻‍♀️

Purrrbred

You can tell it’s a field golden because of the way it is. Pretty neat!

Lol

I think the breeder may have been lion too you!🤣


Ba dum dum 🥁

Insert slow clap here


Absolutely! He seems like the goodest boy. Be sure to give him lots of pets for me :)

Thanks, his name is Fluffy

😂😂😂

Like literally pets. Feed him pets.

That's what I was thinking. It's mean, but funny too!

Those are English creams. Despite being lighter in color they are still goldens

They meow sometimes but that’s cause they’re bilingual

Twins!

Golden Deceiver. That’s a Tibetan Mastiff x Chow mix.

Do I still have time to return him to the breeder? It has only been 15 years

I think I see pit in the eyes

😂😂😂

😂 I’ve been waiting for a post like this. Considered doing one myself, actually.

Some of the response comments are even better: “Absolutely! 100% Golden Boy! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ 😊” All the while I’m thinking: “That dog is at *least* 20% chihuahua.” I never say anything, though.

Seriously. The increase in these types of posts is insane. I’m glad someone is calling it out with humor

[удалено]

No, his name is already Fluffy. I needed some advice on off-leash training for him. Any suggestion on how to keep kids from screaming and crying as soon as he lunges at them to cuddle?

Meat is a very high value treat, I’d say wrapping the kids in bacon would show the golden that they are friends and he will be more gentle with them! The kids can also get over the fear of such a gorgeous animal by being able to feed him! I wish you luck with the training

You’re going to want to carry steaks on you at all times. You need the high value rewards to reinforce that recall. I’d say you’ll need about 20lbs of steaks

Show quality. 👍

How many times is someone going to make a post like this with an obvious purebred golden?

So cute! Absolutely 100% golden retriever. I’m sure with enough practice he will start retrieving for you. Does he love hugs as much as my boy does? Hello…..? Op, you still there?

Sorry, just came back from the hospital after doing the tests people have been mentioning...

Let's check the boxes... Eats everything ✓ Is golden ✓ Sleeps a lot ✓ May or may not fetch✓ I'm going to say you got yourself a golden retriever

You know, can't argue with that logic

Try a ball of yarn, see if he likes that more 😂😂😂

Alright, should I throw it from close up or far away? His barks are very loud when I am standing close 🥺

Goldens are super loving. I think you’ll be fine going close and then giving him a lot of pets

You could try throwing the ball while holding one end of the yarn, then running. Maybe he’ll chase it! Be sure to give him lots of cuddles! 😍😂

Lets do some tests: - Give him pets, if he wags tail and the hind leg twitches then there is a big chance. If he purrs instead, please contact the manufacturer. - Put Pedigree and Whiskas in separate bowls and serve. If your boy chooses the 2nd option, please contact your local branch mamager. - Give a dog bed and a box. If your box chooses option 2, you can return the dog bed for a refund and then contact your pet shop or shelter who you got your pet from. - You can play with him. If your doggo playfully nibbles on you then most likely a golden. If you lose an arm, please go to local hospital because that is not a purebred.

I did the tests, Fluffy got option 2 for all of them. Does it mean he is a super amazing golden retriever?

The best there ever was

If he steals socks then yes!

Probably with the legs n feet still in them! 😂

LMAOOO🤣🤣🤣

Do you still love him anyway? That is the mane question here

🤣🤣🥲

Looks like 1/2 pit, still a cutie though 🥰❤️

Should I return him to the breeder then? I have had him for 15 years, do you think it is too late to take him back?

Nah. He’s defective.

Jungle goldens can look like this. 100% GR though.

Whatever he is, he's purrrrrrrrfect.

That’s a 104% show golden. Anyone who tells you otherwise is lion to you.

Please have him on leash when outside 🤭

I do but he is a big puller 😟

Gentle leader will sort that right out!

Of course, 100%. Ignore the meerkat and warthog who hang out with him and sing jaunty musical numbers. This is also totally normal golden stuff and not at all indicative of a lion.

Ha! HEY SISSY, is it SUPER HUMID THERE? Don’t fret, sis, even Taylor Swift’s hair was frizzing out of control in Singapore Sunday night! https://preview.redd.it/e1zffxtjq0nc1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8ce25aee9825b74aa25b7641d7d2d3bae81bbebf

Lol

Yes, he looks purebred to me!

Yes!! My golden looks just like him! They could be twins! Just make sure the neighbors are cool. Mine came out in the yard protesting and now they’ve somehow disappeared. Probably on vacation.

That's a golden retriever for sure! I'm not even sure what makes you think he isn't?

I don't know, everyone mistakes him for a husky so I wasn't sure 😟

it’s got a little bit of something else in its genetics, but it’s probably nothing aggressive or anything like that

The only way to be sure is to not feed him for a few days, then lock yourself in a room with him for 24 hours- this is often referred to as the Daniel test. It will unequivocally prove he is 100 percent Golden.

No one is trespassing in you yard. 😊

True, Fluffy is such a good boy! 🥹

Are his hips guaranteed? What about his withers? Within breed standards?

We call ours a house lion https://preview.redd.it/3wxvgtrw20nc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a8a61bb9df102c8e6d9f37e8bc11bec10eee2c63

Beauty

Hahaha, love it. The most annoying part of all the dog subs I'm on is, "What breed is my dog?" and "what should i call my dog?". Name your own dawn dog.

Why does this damn sub always make me laugh so much I swear it’s getting outta hand 💀

😂😂😂😂💀💀

No I think your breeders are lion to you

Does it matter? as long as you can stick your head inside their mouths?

Its a training problem. Train him by putting your hand inside his mouth.

This might be my favorite reddit post ever.

When you lion your resume but get the job anyways.

Now you're just being silly. That's clearly a chocolate lab.

And like that, r/goldenretrievercirclejerk was BORN!

It’s a man eater

Don't slander Fluffy!

You win the internets for today friend

This post is so meta for this sub. 😂

Not that you really needed another of these pics but yes, absolutely purebred, just like mine... https://preview.redd.it/bdlsueux14nc1.jpeg?width=3264&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=551795e1c7be87f49e9dfc15dae81a97c1b24ef7

😂😂😂

The teething phase going to be interesting.

I'd be lion if I said it was.

Dammit, I was 3 hours too late.

He is a good boy, that's what he is.

One of a kind

is that what your dog told you? i'm pretty sure your dog was lion.

Paws look a bit small to be a pure breed … 🤔

Where did you get this picture of my dog

If he's not 100% would you love him any the less 💛

Might have a lil Rhodesian Ridgeback in him

Are you the tiger king?

I can’t believe you’re asking this. It’s obviously a yellow lab.

My next guide dog. I hear that those guys are great at finding the freshest of fine meats.

Mine behaved like that too when he was a puppy. He will outgrow it.

Looks too well behaved

You ever trying playing fetch with a zebra. My golden loves zebras!

I'd be lion if I said yes.

No, it’s a farm Golden

Yeah but I wouldn’t suggest petting it

🤣🤣🤣 Give him whatever he wants and don’t run away from him if he gets too frisky. Instead, back away verrrrrrrry slowly, careful to avoid direct eye contact as he/she may perceive it as threatening. Keep lots of t-paper and extra undies available in case of close run-ins with this Golden…I foresee you 💩💩💩 your pants on an above average basis…playtime stands to become quite exciting‼️‼️‼️

I see it now the dog is behind the lion.

It's all about the paws. I'd say he's just about grown in to his, so yes, he is a pure bred Golden. I think he would appreciate a roar diet 😉

Just be careful. This little guy is not a Golden & even he is partial to a marathon runner now n then! https://preview.redd.it/4pf28jdbh0nc1.jpeg?width=992&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2eccaa042f466f09eafc6a12e3f0e4d460a02ab1

Now I’m not expert, but they might’ve given you a wild lab with a golden costume on. Good luck

Yep. Well, maybe a little chow chow

Finally! My boy has another golden to relate to! 😅 https://preview.redd.it/yp0xr96mg1nc1.png?width=1125&format=png&auto=webp&s=85140a7955db8a57520da748a107a9caf062b9aa

Water your yard, Holy shit.

100% https://preview.redd.it/1yth4n9ze3nc1.jpeg?width=2994&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=087e8b4cbb0aff9c01469609e2264b87159c9e86

If he forms friendships with meerkats and pigs after traumatic family tragedies he’s 100% a golden

100% Good Boy. Loves belly rubs.

If he says so, then yes. Yes he is.

I think he might have a little Chow in him.

Pure bred. Just don’t put your head in his mouth. Oh and I’d wait another hour or so before you come out of that tree.

King of the goldens I would say, though the only problem is that your dog is a cat, sir.

For sure.

This dog clearly has 5% Labrador. The only solution is euthanasia.

Part husky I’m pretty sure

Chefs kiss

yes

Definitely

Though a very rare type, these breeds tend to be more on the aggressive side, and take a long time to tame.

🤣

Yes

Looks like a bit of cocker spaniel mixed in.

This is how you know a subreddit is near its end-life.

Does he put his paw on you? Check to see, if so he’s definitely a purebred golden.

That golden eats people, watch yo’ self

“I don’t know much about breeds but he’s 100% cute!”

looks like he needs to be the mane character

Yes, but someone unfortunately shaved his tail.

Hahaha

yep

Have you tried a cardboard box? I understand this variety quite likes them.

Certainly!

That's a tiger

“Is my dog a purebred golden?” The *mane* issue is that your dog has disguised himself with Golden fur. I think he needs a therapist.

Have you tried playing fetch with him?

AKC purebred😍the most friendly golden

I’m not Lion man, but that’s a cat….I’ll see myself out..

Why you always Lion?

The breeder lied, it's not even a dog. It's a hecking golden cat! Please get back to that breeder for god's sake🙄

100%!!

You were fooled, this is obviously a Maine Coon cat.

I can’t wait until we start seeing m “hey mods, can we please stop these stupid posts that only make fun of other peoples posts”

Yeah looks it.

Dude, that's a cat 😂😂😂

You already groom your golden retriever?

Might be part chow

Maybe a bit of a mix, otherwise definitely. They have a beautiful golden coat going on of which gives it away.

Yes. Your dog is.

Who cares he's a cutie.

Is it inside the lion or...?

Leo golden

That’s a lion

Looks like panthera leo breed but could be wrong

its a high breed golden

first of all, I think you dont realize it but thats a big dog, a very big one and I think it might be some sort of new species... WOW!!! pls keep in touch ​ lol

Sir that’s a big cat

Yes

Just castrate him and put him together with a female then youll see

I’m not lion when I say YES!

OP, this is obviously a Goldendoodle. You have the wrong sub.

No, the Golden Retriever's mouth isn't that wide. It should be a Pine Schnauzer.

No, the Golden Retriever's mouth isn't that wide. It should be a Pine Schnauzer

I think you may have been scammed. 😂

Definitely a purebred

Absolutely!

the breeder didn’t socialize him enough to be safe around little kids
