I just heard about a new hybrid- GoldenIrish, Its a Purebred Golden Retriever and a purebred Irish Setter. I saw it on line and saw picks , does anyone know any breeders of this hybrid or any more information about the hybrid .

This is not a new breed. You are getting hybridization mixed up with pure old fashioned mixing of 2 breeds of dog. A hybrid it does not make. To achieve a true hybrid, you must mate animals with similar genetics, like the lion and the tiger, or the horse and the zebra. People are crossing dogs, and coming up with all kinds of different mixtures, and giving them fancy handles, when in fact they are just a cross bred animal.They are also charging exhorbitant amounts for their cute 'new breeds'.
You will not find a respectable breeder who intentionally breeds the Golden with the Irish Setter.

For 2 years? oh yeah, that sounds like someone with a lot of experience with the "breed"

Save a LIFE - adopt from a SHELTER.

If you mean a golden/Irish is AKC, you are sadly mistaken.

OK that's even more disturbing. And for your information, the AKC frowns on mixed breeding and so do both the Irish and the Golden Clubs.

Intentionally crossing two breeds shows this breeders lack of experience. IMHO

right back atcha!!

What did you start the same topic twice??? Stick to one post for the same topic.

Go to a shelter and adopt and I am sure you will find a cute MIX dog for adoption there, that needs its life saved!

you must of misread , I SAID THEY HAVE BEEN BREEDING GOLDENS ALONE-PUREBRED FOR 15 YEARS AND SELLING , and theY are AKC . And THEY ALSO HAVE BEEN BREEDING IRISH SETTERS FOR 15 YEARS -PUREBRED ALONE, AND ARE ALSO ARE akc , JUST 2 YEARS AGO THEY STARTED TO BREED A GOLDEN RETRIEVER WITH A IRISH SETTER- THATS THE NEW GOLDEN IRISH. IF YOU DONT BELIEVE ME THAT THERE IS SUCH A BREED THEN-

Oh yeah and just because it's on the INTERNET that means it's 100%.

WHATEVER!!

So when does school start back up? I hope you don't rely on the internet for all of your homework.

cezcal...the mix of a Golden Retriever, and an Irish setter is a mutt. A good old loveable mutt. Do you mind me asking how much they are charging for these puppies? Don't get me wrong, I would no doubt fall in love with the dog. It's the dishonesty displayed by the so-called breeder that makes me angry. They are portraying a cross bed dog as a wonderful new breed. Usually it takes years and years to produce a new breed. You certainly cannot do it in two.
I just read the lovely website, and read the most hilarious part of the whole thing. They breed multi generation crosses..and they know exactly what they will get for offspring? Give me a break.

it could also be the website saying they are a new breed not the breeders but the American hybrid club recognizes them

i got a sweet deal on my "hybrid" dog. $200...at the animal shelter...

what kind of hybrid?

That's $699.00 Canadian, which is a lot of money.
I can't help but think how the shelters could make use of part of that money, and that you may run into health problems down the road. However, each to his own. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink......

i dont want a dog from a shelter or pound. i wont know the breed and im looking for certain things about the breeds

cezcal20, that's what I'm trying to tell you...the 'breeder' doesn't even know what you're getting. Please at least find out what testing these people do on their dogs, for genetic defects.
