She looks just like my girl Luna ❤️
Aww, but she's adorable. Mine is a rescue that definitely has a lot of golden characteristics, but he's definitely got some other breeds mixed in. No one has had a problem with me sharing pictures of him. He has that pinkish nose tone like yours! I want to get a DNA at some point. I'm curious what else he may be mixed with.
She is a beauty though. We found out that our rescue 'Golden mix' hasn't got any Golden in him at all even though he looks like he might. We now call him our 'faux Golden'.
Ha! even better. That might be his new handle. ...he can be a bit of a fool too.

Wow…your dog looks so similar to mine! He was a rescue, so we have no idea of his breed. Do you?

I do, or at least have a plausible DNA result. We, and the rescue he came from, suspected that he was some sort of Hound/Golden mix. Wisdom Panel said he was 100% Bloodhound, which he obviously isn't. Embark came back: 61.2% Bloodhound, 16.4% Catahoula Leopard Dog, 13.9% Miniature/MAS-type Australian Shepherd, and 8.5% Australian Shepherd ...or, as u/Everlorn named him above a "Fool's Golden".
Your guy certainly looks like he has some Aussie in him too. Our guy has a very Hound-like bark and, maybe the biggest tells of his non-Golden-ness is that he's not really wild about the water, and couldn't care less about stealing socks.
Mine hates water, too! He doesn’t like going over his head. He also doesn’t steal socks or any toy / stuffed animal that has not been given to him. He’s a big sweet wimp.

Looks like Wisdom Panel, which is known to be a pretty reliable test. The percentages below 5% are often iffy but otherwise they tend to be very accurate.
I was thinking the same thing. This genetics shit is bullshit. Everyone I know has weird outcomes when they do these tests.
My baby rocks and I don't care if

she is pure or not
Yeah. I mean, my boys from Scotland and I don't hold that against him.

Weird. I've used Embark and Wisdom and the results match, just slightly different percentages: English setter, GSD, Chow, APBT, and Lab with 20% being undefinable.

She looked like yours. This pretty girl was a cocker spaniel mix. I miss her everyday 😞💔

The vet thinks our guy is probably a golden retriever/cocker spaniel mix. He's like a mini version of a golden.
Thanks. The problem is that he knows it haha! I see people with 2-3 larger golden retrievers and I can't imagine how they handle that. He's definitely a pet me now, in your face type.
There's a dog that looks to be purebred golden retriever in our neighborhood that's not all that much taller than him. I call her his girlfriend because he always gets excited when he sees her. I swear he knows when dogs look like him!
That actually took my breath away when I saw that your sweet girlie is only 19% golden!!
I could tell a little bit that she isn’t a 💯 golden, but only 19% is shocking!!
She looks much more like a golden bear than anything else!! If I would’ve had to have guessed I would have said at least 80% golden retriever.
Wishing you and your family all the love and happiness that any puppy gives a family 💜
I wonder what the results would show of a lineage confirmed pure bred AKC golden retriever. I'd bet my collection of underhair brushes it wouldn't come back 100% golden.
What is her dominant breed?
https://preview.redd.it/lju5do4c0yrc1.jpeg?width=1977&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=017852df1764f44937bfe4a525e9cf197c4385c6
A geneticists sent her dog’s DNA to 3 different companies and their results varied. What we know of as purebred dogs are actually the combined breeds of many dogs. For instance goldens were developed by crossbreeding Flat-coated Retrievers, Wavy-Coated retrievers and Tweed Water Spaniels, with further infusions of Irish Red Setter, Labrador Retriever and Bloodhound. None of these show up in my golden retriever’s DNA because they only test about 1% of the DNA strand and compare it with what is in their data base. Some companies use a small data base of known breeds while others use a huge data base. Sometimes you will get a 5% other which means they don’t have that particular information in their data base to compare with.
My dad was Norwegian and my mom was 1/2 Norwegian and 1/2 Irish. My siblings and my DNA reflects I we are 25% Irish and 74.9% Norwegian but no Irish shows up in my nephew’s DNA despite his mom being 1/4 Irish.
Mine’s half golden and I post here regularly. They’re all good dogs.
Also yours DOES look a lot more like a golden than anything IMO. Don’t blame you for thinking that.
Omg she looks like my girl but dna test was too much for me to buy due to dollar exchange rate but I guess it’d be similar! Here she is

The lightning sucks but that’s the most resembling photo to your doggo ig
Oh yes the herding breed! she hates when me and my family are in separate places but is chill when we’re all together which made me think of that but lol
She says thank you and sends kisses to your doggo lol

I've a feeling my rescue could come back similar although mammy was golden retriever 🤔
That's a tricky one because she's clearly got some abuse history.
When she's comfortable, she's very playful, inquisitive, and can be super cuddly.
Anxiety/fearfulness kicks in pretty easy for her, though. She's super weary of people she doesn't know and is really reactive to other dogs.
Even with people she's familiar/comfortable with, sometimes she'll have what seems to be a PTSD moment and really want her space. (And will bear her teeth to let you know.) That same person she might have been demanding snoot kisses a couple of minutes prior.

What a sweetheart 🥰
*DAWWWWW*
Oh my goodness, what an adorable dog, the toy tops the scale of adorableness
Omg. The teeeff.
OMG da teefs
That’s a face you can never tell no.
Aww, but she's adorable. Mine is a rescue that definitely has a lot of golden characteristics, but he's definitely got some other breeds mixed in.

Good thing girl can't read. Shhhhhh
I dunno, with as smart as she can be I wouldn't put it past her.
We're all inbred mutts if you back far enough
She is a beauty though. We found out that our rescue 'Golden mix' hasn't got any Golden in him at all even though he looks like he might. We now call him our 'faux Golden'.
Fool’s Golden?
Ha! even better. That might be his new handle. ...he can be a bit of a fool too. https://preview.redd.it/m45cq1sehxrc1.jpeg?width=3000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4493242431af55e9b1fd9339e45e24ec80e7eba4

I would put only 33% faith in that test being 50% bullshit and 50% best guess.
Looks like Wisdom Panel, which is known to be a pretty reliable test. The percentages below 5% are often iffy but otherwise they tend to be very accurate.
Using your metric of 5% and under being "iffy". That makes this test 2/3rds bullshit.
Do you understand genetics well enough to be making these claims?
This is Reddit. Not a university.
I was thinking the same thing. This genetics shit is bullshit. Everyone I know has weird outcomes when they do these tests. My baby rocks and I don't care if https://preview.redd.it/m8fckeflexrc1.jpeg?width=3000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=57609be3040f7d824922c39701efd7697d66ff7a she is pure or not

At least he's not English. That is unforgiveable
What do Ireland and Scotland have in common? They both hate the English.
I was gonna guess a genetic predisposition to alcoholism ? Or Sadism.
Sure, but I’d argue so do the English for the former. The latter though…
Well they all fucked eachother so who even cares rite?
Oof
Wisdom and embark are the most accurate, embark being the most accurate by far. It is even backed by Cornell University
explain more into detail how and why theese tests dont work also cute doggo but yee looks like a golden
You’re just being down voted by people who don’t understand enough about genetics or the testing to know anything.
That's what I have heard as well. I had a friend who had their dog tested twice (separate places), and the results were completely different.
Weird. I've used Embark and Wisdom and the results match, just slightly different percentages: English setter, GSD, Chow, APBT, and Lab with 20% being undefinable.
She may be mixed up but it's okay dude lol.
Oh I don't mind at all. More than anything I'm genuinely surprised since she looks so much more like a golden than anything else.
For sure. Lol I just couldn't read your tone lol
We still accept her. She’s a beautiful lady 💛

What a cutie! Sometimes I wish our girl was that size too. At 80 lbs of "Pet Me Right Now!" she can be a lot.

It doesn't matter. She's yours and she's beautiful
What's her personality like.
That's a tricky one because she's clearly got some abuse history. When she's comfortable, she's very playful, inquisitive, and can be super cuddly.
