if you dont want a shelter dog then thats a shame...your gonna be buying a dog from a "breeder" that you dont even know, that supposidly breed the 2 species for AKC...even tho if the breeder was any kind of responcible breeder they would stick with just breeding those 2 breeds and not forming "mutts" which is basicly what they are. and you want to actualy pay that much for a mutt and incurage this type of breeding? when you could just go down to a shelter and get a dog that actualy needs a family. if this breeder was a real breeder they would have no problem getting a home for the puppies....while at the shelter these dogs could spend there entire life in a cage not having a real family.

most of the dogs at the shelter are increadable dogs that would do great in a family situation if only givin the chance. it's like them going to jail for not doing anything and being punished for the rest of there life because of someone didnt want them or they just didnt have the time for them. most of the time it's the previous owners fault not the dogs. so why not jut go get one from the shelter? i really dont see why anyone would want to encurage bad breeders or puppy millers and not get a perfectly good dog from the shelter who actualy needs a home. the others dont.

The Golden Irish is not a purebred dog. It is a cross between the Golden Retriever and the Irish Setter. The best way to determine the temperament of a mixed breed is to look up all breeds in the cross and know you can get any combination of any of the characteristics found in either breed


Those are the words from the link you posted yourself so maybe you should re-read and you will realize that like it says in the FIRST sentence of the link YOU posted that the dog is NOT PUREBRED which means it is a MUTT.

Oh lordy. Hopefully no one reads this nonsense and thinks this is an actual hybrid or breed. Just more nonsense from some idiot who did not do their research before coming to a new site and running their blow hole. There is no such animal as a goldenirish. Its not even a WHATyamacallit. More like a MUTTyamacallit............

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

I'm just wondering what traits you are looking for from each breed. (if you even know anything about either)

But, I'm sure I'll never get an answer. My guess is, this was a troll who will never be back...

I don't really know that much about dog breeds, but I do know that what the OP is saying doesnt make sense to me. You mix two different breeds, you don't get a purebred, or a hybrid, or a new breed, you get a mutt. Granted it may be a cute mutt, but it is still a mutt. If you continue to interbreed said dogs, you get recessive traits that can cause health problems. Am I right? Someone help me understand this a little better. Im lost!
I like most cats better than I like most people.
I'll try to be nicer if you try to be smarter.

Catlover - What breed trait's is his looking for? He wants the breed's name to include the following words, 'golden,' and 'irish.' "Lab-X" is not a cool enough name.

Oh, oh, oh! You're looking for a breeder of purebred Golden/Irish pups? I can do better. I can tell you of a great pet store that will sell you one for real expensive, that way it makes it seem like you're getting a really good special dog. All their puppies come from excellent breeders, its some sort of chain called puppy mills! The pet store will tell you whatever you want to know, errr hear. Where do you live? I'll find some good ones for you!

Pinkey Girl- no i didnt say the Golden Irish Hybrid was a AKC dog, i said the purebred golden and the purebred irish are AKC registered dogs. I just want a golden Irish hybrid for my first dog ok!! When i get older then i will have lots of dogs and so down to the shelter a get lots of them, because i love dogs so much . I saw the ad for The golden irishes and i like that Hybrid.

Imunique-well i put hybrid up because it is one. they are made with two purebred dogs , mutts or mixes can have more than one breed of dog in them.!!!

dusty08155-excuse me i probably know more about dogs then you so shutup. !!!

peaches13185-dont come on here if you are lost and dont run your mouth. its like butting into a conversation and you dont know what you are talking about.!!!


Catlover- the traits that i what are

: loves water, loves to go hiking,lots of energy, friendly, easy to train, color of the fur, funny out going dog!! all of the traits come from both dogs!! why dont you go back to your cat thing and leave me alone .

All of you are so mean , i came on here to ask a question and i get people yelling at me and saying stuff they have no clue about!!!

Heatherfeather- thank you , but if you didnt read what i wrote before , i found a breeder, but thank you for your help.



GoldenIrish!! hybrid ALL THE WAY.

" dusty08155-excuse me i probably know more about dogs then you so shutup. !!! "

Oh please....How old are you. My guess would be 10 maybe 11. Grow up. As far as knowing more about dogs than me? ROFLMAO . Thats a laugh. You come here spouting off crap that everyone knows is BS. And then claim you know more about dogs. You are just an ignorant troll. No ones buying into your hybrid BS, so the " you are all meanies" comes out. Grow up , you are sounding more and more like a certain supaman that disappeared about the same time YOU showed up...Hmmm.....

WHAT!?!?!?

OMG that just made me spit ginger-ale all over my monitor.

Go ahead, go ahead and get your "new breed" and seriously, don't come running back here with questions about ANYTHING. If you already know more than the people here then there is no need for you to ask questions. RIGHT?!?!?!

Maybe you should read some of the post on here before shooting your mouth off. In the months that I've been on here, there have probably been 50 of these posts where some clueless sap, with more money than sense, wants us all to pat them on the back for being so easily tricked by a petstore, backyard breeder or puppymiller. You all start whining or resort to namecalling when things do go the way you want. I have yet to visit a single forum where "hybrids" are celebrated. This is your first dog and you don't even seem to know what a puppymill is, but you "know more than Dusty."

***************************************************************

I may go by "Catlover", but I happen to own 2 gundogs that are actually used for what they were bred for. I probably know more about dogs than you will ever learn.

If you actually want advice, ask a question. I can tell you that I researched breeds for over a year before I decided on what breed was right for me, as far as fitting into our lifestyle, temperment, health problems, etc.

Once I decided on a breed, I researched breeders for another year before purchasing a pup.

Do you know that Irish Setters need a couple of hours exerise each day? A setter can run circles around you.

Do you know that goldens are prone to bloat, cancer, hip and elbow dysplasia, progressive retinal atrophy, cataracts, epilepsy and flea allergies? Do you know a golden can drag you down the street if not well trained?

And finally-why don't you get one or the other? What possible benefit do you think you will get by buying an over-priced, mixed breed dog?

LOL, Puggle! Cezcal20 read that children's book over and over and over and is now an expert!

Cezcal, you still haven't answered what you think you will gain by buying a mixed breed dog? And this "breeder" that you found-what types of health testing does he do? What type of health guarantee does he offer? Does he show his dogs? Hunt trials? Field trials?
