Question
Hello

I just got a golden retiever x lab puppy, I know what the goldens temper is like but I'm not too sure what the lab is like, could you tell me a bit about a labs temper?

Answer
Hi,

Labs are very sweet dogs.  They are GREAT with kids, protective over the family, not the house as much though.  Not agressive, I've never heard of a lab perposly biting a person, as well as scratching.  Although they are very energetic and love to fetch and play in the water.  Let me just tell you that your very lucky to have a mix of those two breeds.  Thanks for the question and good luck with your dog,
Amy
