Identifying my pup

[Beans]

I was wondering if anyone could give any insight on what different kinds of breed this pup is. We acquired the pup from a farm and any insight would be appreciated!

Looks a lot like a Golden Retriever my friends have. Might be some Lab in there too. Cute little guy no matter what he is. ” title=”” class=”bbcode_smiley” />

Fishing relaxes me. It's like yoga, except I still get to kill something - Ron Swanson

That’s kinda what I said too. My girlfriend is thinking Australian shepherd and chocolate lab. His snout is so short too. The previous owner thought maybe he had some German Shepherd and rot in him but I agree with the golden retriever and also kinda think there might be some German shepherd to? It’s a tough one but he definitely is a cute little fella. We are trying to learn so we can train properly

Do a wisdom panel test on him

Golden retriever and something. Dogs don’t discriminate they’ll take whatever lady is ready. Small dogs have a big disadvantage. With the blue eyes I’m guessing golden husky.

My friend did one of those DNA tests on his mutt and it came back with some off the wall results. Based on the look of his dog and the results seemed pretty far fetched, far enough off that he really doubted the accuracy of the tests. Perhaps they really are accurate but I know he is skeptical.

What sort of training do you want to do with the dog that would change based on breed?

A very select breed.

Breed doesn’t matter when it comes to obedience and retriever training. It is all in the confidence and the consistency of the handler during training. My Golden (pretty sure she has some lab in her also) was picked up from a farm that had a sign saying “free puppies”. She is now 7 and has her therapy dog certification, canine good citizen, has finished in the top 20 in the AKC national rally obedience trials twice, and has more letters after her name from hunt tests than I can even remember. She was also the first dog in the nation to pass the NAHRA upland test when it was started.

Take your time, be consistent, and always end a training session on a good note. It only takes 5-10 minutes a day to shape an amazing dog.

Remember, the most important thing you can give is your time.
