don't care if the parents have clear tests. It doesn't mean when you breed two different breeds it will come out that way. It only works with breeding the same breed to the same breed. Hence, the value of purebred dogs and having a little better odds of controlling particular factors.

Now, having a "whoops" litter of dogs because you had an accident behind the wood shed and selling them for purebred prices is (in my opinion) a crime.

Get them to a good home for someone who wants a hunting dog and a good pal? that is great. Maybe for $200 because that is about the cost per pup to go to the vet and do shots, worming etc.

A "mixed litter?"  Are you really saying these puppies are a Labrador Retriever / Golden Retriever mix? It seems odd to me that a professional breeder would do that. Was it intentional?

I also wonder if this is simply a "mixed litter" of yellow and black Lab puppies.

A little more information;

This was an intentional breeding between a papered lab and a papered Golden. As I understand it the goal was to produce service dogs.

They are asking $800.  I don't doubt that the pups would make great pets but I have a problem paying that kind of money for a "designer breed"

A long time ago someone told me that anything is worth what you can sell it for!  :dunno:
