10 Unbelievable Labrador Mix Breeds

The Labrador is well known for his even-tempered personality, his loyalty, his adoration and his absolute devotion to his family members. It's no surprise that the Labrador continues to be the most popular dog breed in the U.S. and Labs have held this coveted position for 27 years straight. Mixing up the genes of the Lab with other popular breeds results in some pretty amazing combinations. Here are 10 of the most amazing Labrador Retriever mixed breeds. 1. Goldador The Goldador is a mix between the Labrador and Golden Retriever. These are large dogs, usually weighing between 55 and 80 pounds. If you take on one of these pups, you'll need a large house with plenty of outside space. Also, these are energetic, working dogs that need plenty of exercise every day to keep them fit and mentally happy. The Goldador typically has the thick, double coat of both parent dogs and is a very popular golden mix. Goldadors shed all year round, having two heavy shedding periods during the spring and fall. Goldadors can live from 10 to 12 years. 2. Doberdor The Doberdor is a mix between the Labrador and Doberman. These are big, powerful dogs that can grow to weigh up to 100 pounds when full-grown. Doberdors are a mix that need lots of exercise to keep them fit and healthy. Again, you'll need a spacious home with a large backyard or garden to comfortably accommodate one of these dogs. Generally good with other dogs and children, the Doberdor is a friendly pup that's easy to train. Doberdors usually have a short coat that sheds seasonally and requires brushing once or twice a week to keep it clean and tidy. The Doberdor is a pretty healthy breed that has a lifespan of up to 12 years. 3. German Shepherdor The German Shepherdor is a mix between the Labrador and German Shepherd. This is truly a breed that's super impressive in the popularity stakes. The Labrador Retriever is the number one on the AKC charts and the German Shepherd is right behind at number two. The two parent breeds that are bred to create the German Shepherdor are somewhat different in their temperament. The Lab is usually friendly and sociable, whereas the German Shepherd can be more aloof and suspicious of strangers. The German Shepherdor's coat is usually thick, short and double layered, so you can expect a year-round moderate shedding and two extra heavy shedding periods in the fall and spring. Shepherdors have a life expectancy of up to 12 years. 4. Labradoodle The Labradoodle is a mix between the Labrador and Poodle. Labradoodles come in three sizes, standard, medium and miniature, depending on the type of poodle parent that's used to create the mix. The breed is quite long-lived, having a life expectancy of up to 18 years. The Labradoodle is a friendly, easy-going sort of pup that usually fits in well in homes where the family includes small children and other pets. That said, these dogs do require plenty of exercise every day and are not couch potatoes. One of the primary reasons that Labradoodles are so popular is their very low shedding coat, making the breed a good choice for a family with pet allergies. 5. Pittador The Pittador is a mix between the Labrador and Pit Bull Terrier. Pittadors are known to be loyal, friendly, intelligent and make good family pets, as long as they are properly trained and well socialised as puppies. Training a Pittador is usually pretty straightforward, as this hybrid is extremely smart and eager to please. If you decide to take on a Pittador puppy, ask the breeder for evidence of good elbow and hip scores for both parents, as well as an eye test carried out within the last year. These are large, muscular Pit Bull mixes that can weigh between 30 and 80 pounds, having a lifespan of up to 16 years. 6. Chabrador The Chabrador is a mix between the Labrador and Chow Chow. The Chow Chow is best known for their characteristic deep facial folds and signature neck ruff that gives them a lion-like appearance. Whereas the Labrador Retriever is a happy-go-lucky friendly character, the Chow Chow can be more aloof and reserved, especially with strangers, and can be a one-person dog that's best suited to a couple or singleton with no children in the family. Your Chabrador can live for up to 12 years. 7. Corgidor The Corgidor is a mix between the Labrador and Corgi. If you're looking for a smaller dog, you might want to consider the Corgidor. The Corgidor is a cross between the Labrador Retriever and the Pembroke Welsh Corgi. Like most Corgi mixes, these pups are usually very family-friendly, living for up to 13 years and suffering very few serious health issues. Bear in mind that both parent breeds are working dogs, so the Corgidor does need plenty of exercise and playtime too. 8. Huskador The Huskador is a mix between the Labrador and Siberian Husky. Like all Husky mixes, these are friendly, people-loving dogs, who are very smart and quick to learn. However, the Siberian Husky is a pack dog and can suffer from separation anxiety if left alone for long periods. The Siberian Husky is well-known for thick, luxuriant coat and is a heavy shedder. So, you can expect the Huskador to shed year-round, with two heavier shedding periods in the spring and fall. You can expect your pup to live for up to 14 years. 9. Springerdor The Springerdor is a mix between the Labrador and Springer Spaniel. Springerdors are high-energy dogs that usually have a very strong prey drive. That means these pups don't mix well with small furries such as rabbits and cats, although they do get along well with kids of all ages. Although trainable and willing to please his owners, the Springerdor needs to be included in every aspect of family life, and he doesn't cope well if left to his own devices for long periods of time. The Springerdor typically lives for between 10 and 14 years. 10. Borredor The Borredor is a mix between the Labrador and Borredor Collie. Due to genetic influences, it is impossible to predict what this breed, or any dogs on this list, will look like. Your Borredor puppy may resemble a Borredor Collie, a Labrador or a hybrid of the two. Borredor Collies are smart enough not only to understand commands, but potentially not follow them in order to protect their herd. This natural cleverness flows through into the Borredor too. This dog is a generally healthy breed that can live for up to 15 years. So what do you think? Which of these 10 Labrador mixed breeds is your favorite?
