Yellow Retrievers love to be included in family activities, which includes take rides in the car and traveling. They love attention, and love for you to treat them just like they are a member of your family. When you first get your Yellow Retriever puppy, youíll have to teach him how to enjoy car rides and traveling, so he can come to appreciate it more as he gets older.
When you decide to take him traveling for the first time, you should always give him food in small amounts throughout the day, while he adjusts to traveling. If you feed him a lot of food before you head out, he may get sick in the car and have an accident. By reducing the amount of food that he consumes, heíll be much more in control of his bladder and himself.
When you are traveling, always plan to make frequent rest stops and allow your Yellow Retriever time to relieve himself. You should also take some time to exercise as well, stopping every few hours for bathroom breaks and exercise. Yellow Retrievers will hold themselves if they need to, although it isnít good for them. No matter how far you travel, you should always be kind to your dog and stop every so often to let him have some time.
A common mistake that many have made, and one you should avoid at all costs, is letting your Yellow ride in a moving vehicle with his head out the window. Although you may think this is a good idea, your Yellow can easily get an eye, ear, or nose injury. Cars and trucks move at very fast speeds, and something can pop up when you least expect it and do serious damage to your dog.
When you stop for a break or to fill up your car, you should never allow your Yellow Retriever to be alone in the car with the windows up. Even though you may crack the windows for him, the heat of summer can result in a heat stroke if you are not careful. If your dog does get a heatstroke from being locked up in a hot car, he can easily die before you are able to return to the car. If you simply must leave your dog in the car, make sure that you park in the shade and give him plenty of air.
As long as you do your part and take care of your Yellow Retriever when you travel, he will love to travel with you. Traveling is something that your Yellow needs to get used to, although most adapt to it fairly quick. Once you have taken your dog traveling with you, he will know when itís time to travel and eventually learn to tell you when you need to stop so he can use the bathroom.

If you go leafing through advertisements for dog kennels, you can't help but notice the many that loudly proclaim that they breed golden Labrador Retrievers. And they do not mean a Golden Retriever/Labrador Retriever mix (which are also known as Golden Labrador Retrievers). They mean a golden colored purebred Labrador Retriever. According to the various Labrador Breed Associations and national kennel clubs, Labs come in just three recognized colors – and golden is not one of them.
Suspected Scam
The only three recognized colors of purebred Labrador Retrievers are yellow, black and chocolate (which used to be called liver). There are many shades of yellow in yellow Labrador Retrievers. Some are so pale that they are called "white", even though their papers will call them yellow. The darkest shade of yellow is sometimes called "gold", but even the darkest golden Labrador Retriever will not compare to the luster of a Golden Retriever.
But, like PT Barnum said, "There's a sucker born every minute", and they will believe whatever they are told. If they are told that there is such a thing as a purebred golden Labrador, they will break open their wallets and buy one. Even when they can clearly see that the puppy's color is yellow, they think the "golden" label means "premium" and they will buy the so-called "golden Labrador Retriever" over the identical-looking "yellow Labrador Retriever."
Nothing Wrong With A Yellow Lab
If you do discover that your pricey "golden Labrador Retriever" is simply a yellow Lab, take heart. Your dog will still be loyal and comical and loving. Keep the dog. But by all means, complain to the Better Business Bureau about how the dog was represented. It would help if you had a copy of the original ad that lead you to the kennel and a copy of the contract. You did get a contract with your "golden Labrador Retriever", didn’t you? If not, there's ANOTHER thing to complain about.
If you go to a rescue shelter and see a dog listed as a purebred golden Labrador Retriever, the staff just made a common mistake. Don't rip into them about it – they are doing the best you can. You could write a thank you letter about how well you are getting on with your rescue dog and just casually mention that, officially, there is no such thing as a purebred golden Labrador Retriever. Once that is done, concentrate on building up a great friendship with your new Lab of whatever color.

At first getting a mixed dog may not seem like a good idea, but in some cases mixed breeds can work out very well and you can gain the benefits of both breeds in one dog. One mix that consistently works out well for its owners is the Labrador retriever mix. These two breeds compliment each other very well and a Labrador retriever mix is often a very sought after dog. Now you never will be able to win the Westminster Dog Show, but if you are looking for family pet that will be loyal to the end, then the Labrador retriever mix may be what you are looking for.
Qualities Of A Labrador Retriever Mix
While all dogs have their own unique characteristics, there are usually some that will almost always be found within a breed. Beagles almost always have a ton of energy, hounds are usually much more laid back, and the list goes on. The same thing can be said for a Labrador retriever mix.
The first you will almost always find in a Labrador retriever mix is a great intelligence. Labradors are one of the smartest dog breeds around, and golden retrievers are even smarter. Consistently retrievers will rank very high in intelligence exams, so this mix generally will also be extremely intelligent. This can be both a boon and hindrance. If you are looking for a very smart dog than the Labrador retriever mix will most certainly fall into that category. If you are looking for a dog that is not as smart and perhaps a bit less curious, then maybe you should not look at this combination.
A second quality that is very predictable in a Labrador retriever mix that is usually very predictable is their temperament. Unlike other like a lab chow mix, you can expect the temperament of a Labrador retriever mix will almost always be very mild and attentive. Lab chows can be extremely unpredictable; with some being like their lab parents and being very mild, will others can be extremely hostile and uncontrollable.
There are many other features of the mixing of these two breeds that make them desirable. There size will generally be predictable as both dogs are of similar stature. Coloration and shape will also be predictable, especially between a retriever and a yellow lab. If both these dogs have qualities you like, then you may want to consider looking at a Labrador retriever mix.

Sorry you haven't heard from me lately. What with Christmas, my new little friend Tarnation moving into my master's house with us it has been a busy time.
For a bit of fun I have been doing some agility courses in Delaware, Michigan and at McCann's Training School in Flamboro, Ontario for the past few months. My little friend Tarnation has also been taking up some of my time with my master but he is a nice guy and I still get to ride in the front seat of the truck and get my special snacks from Ronald McDonald's.
Went out with some friends last weekend for a little hunter trial practice in Valens . Me and my little friend Tar had some good slogging through the marsh but had no problem finding those dead ducks they were throwing out for us.
For the real thing we were down in the Port Dover,Ontario for the real thing. Just luv them ducks, and I get to have a real swim too.
Here I am at Dover with a prize:

Kyla Duffy is raising awareness about puppy mills and supporting dog rescue groups by publishing breed-specific books full of stories about adopted dogs.
The books give proud owners of adopted dogs a chance to showcase them, raise awareness about dog adoption and breed characteristics, and generate funding for dog rescue through the donation of a portion of each sale. By the end of November, they will have completed “Lost Souls: Found!” books on Boston Terriers, Golden Retrievers, Dachshunds, Labradors, and Pit Bulls. They deserve your support and have also published a very special memoir of a Hollywood Studio Wrangler who has worked on set with adopted dogs entitled “Hollywood Barks!”
You can find them at Happy Tails Books
