Labradors and Golden Retrievers are perfect examples of dogs with the sweetest temperament, so it’s no surprise that these breeds are some of the most popular among dog owners in the world. In fact, we’d say it’s impossible to go to a dog park and not see at least one of these dogs there – and they’ll always be having the best time. Not only do labs and retrievers have a sweet temperament, but they’re also funny, goofy, and super friendly. In case you don’t believe us, here are 50 pics of labs and retrievers that prove why they’re the best dogs ever.
1. Observing Retrievers
It turns out that dogs are just as fascinated by adorable kittens as us humans are – just look how they’re all crowded around the window! Their faces look so tenderly curious that our hearts just can’t get enough. We hope that they got to go in and meet the kittens up close!
2. We are family
We feel like this picture is a great reflection of just how friendly retrievers are. The fact that they’re sitting comfortably with a cat is pretty rare in itself, and just look how they’re all snuggled up together! Simply adorable.
3. When you get buried in snow but your dog is a retriever
Judging by that curious expression, this golden is clearly thinking, “whatcha doin’ in there?” To be honest, if this was our view after being buried in the snow, we might be of the belief that we’d died and gone to heaven.
4. This briefcase contains important lab results
That face says “When I gets older n bigger, we’ll see who’s holding who up and taking pictures!!!” Apparently, labs love the water, and we wish more than anything that we had an ‘after’ picture of this little guy having a swim. Is there anything cuter than doggy paddle?
5. This Golden Retriever Has A Black Birthmark On The Left Side Of His Face
They say our imperfections are what make us beautiful, and this golden is a perfect example of that saying. His birthmark makes him special and unique from other goldens, and we think he’s absolutely gorgeous! Just look at that big smile.
6. A Labrador Labradoing What A Labradog Labrado
We love the look of defiance of this hilarious lab’s face. Because what else can you do on a boiling hot summer’s day? Someone get this little cutie a frozen dog treat, asap!
7. More peanut butter!
This little guy’s adorable expression has us thinking that his tongue is SO stuck to the roof of his mouth! With a face that cute, this pupper can get whatever he wants. More peanut butter? Coming right up!
8. Hi friends
We can guarantee that this adorable picture could melt even the coldest of hearts, and after a good few minutes of staring at this little cutie we now desperately want a puppy of our own. Just look at that little face! BRB, we’re just on our way to the nearest shelter.
9. I’m Pretty Sure Wally Thinks He’s A Cat
Cats are knows for their unwavering determination to fit themselves into objects much smaller than themselves, and have even been dubbed, “liquid cats.”- but never before have we seen a dog trying the “if I fits, I sits,” way of life. There’s a theory that big dogs think they’re small, and small dogs think they’re big, and we reckon that’s pretty accurate in these circumstances!
10. I Asked A Women If I Could See The Puppies In Her Trunk, Snapped This Quick Pic!
Have you ever seen more perfect posers for a picture? These adorable puppies are naturals! These three musketeers look like they’re posing for the cover of their new album, and they’re perfectly photogenic. Are we jealous that we didn’t get to meet them? Of course!
11. My Golden Retriever After Not Seeing Me For 9 Months
We’d love to know the story behind this picture. Where did the poster go for 9 months and why could’t they see their dog? We wish they’d have caught a video of the moment the pair reunited! The dog’s face clearly says, “I love you, NEVER leave me again…”
12. This Is Ralph. It’s His First Time Out In Public. 11/10 Good Boy
Now this is one proud pupper. When you’re young and going out in the big wide world for the first time, everything is a big adventure. We bet he had the best day!
13. Little Guy Fell Asleep In A Basket With His Golden Retriever Puppies
Is there anything more pure than this picture? We wish that we were still small enough to fit into a basket full of puppies. Cuteness overload!
14. A kind pupper
According to the poster, his girlfriend’s Golden HAS to bring a gift to anyone who comes to the door. If she can’t find a toy, she’ll grab her whole bed and drag it across the house, or pick up the shoe you just took off and give it back to you. She’s like Santa’s little helper!
15. We Have An Office Dog And He Visited Me Today
Excuse us – an office dog?! How do we get one of these in our office? Just imagine how much more calm you’d feel with this gorgeous boy in your workplace- though we can’t imagine much work would get done.
16. 13 Year Old Golden, Taking The 8 Week Old Out For A Walk
Aside from looking totally adorable, these dogs are also being super smart. The law says, “All dogs must be on a leash,” but it doesn’t say which end it has to be. “Come on, kid, I’ll teach you how to be extra cute.”
17. My Friend Picking Out A Golden Retriever Puppy
This picture is our idea of what heaven looks like. How on earth would you choose out of that bundle of gorgeousness? Puppies are like potato chips… you can’t have just one.
18. Can I Have Some?
We absolutely love how this man paid for a whole extra seat for his dog. What a spoiled boy! Though it’s probably a good thing that they’re a few rows back. Imagine if the dog was close enough to chase the ball?
19. Paws in the air like I just don’t care
This is exactly the same pose our dog does for a belly rub! Paws in the air, back legs flopped open, cute little tongue sticking out. Totally irresistible.
20. Photobomb by my little sis. She’s always trying to be the center of attention
Have you ever seen a more adorable photobomb? Who needs kids when you can have a beach day with these cute puppies? They look like they’re having a whale of a time!
21. Baby golden retriever realizes he can’t fit in his old place anymore.
When he was a little puppy, the fridge was this sweet guy’s favorite place to, *ahem* chill in. So now he’s much bigger, he refuses to accept that he can no longer fit in his favorite spot. “Hey mom, we need a bigger ‘walk in’ cooler!”
22. My Cousin’s Golden Retriever Puppy, Dusty
This is a face of pure bliss, if we ever did see one. We don’t think we’ve ever come across a happier looking puppy! Show this picture to anyone who says that they hate dogs.
23. Happiness is a Golden Retriever
Who better to travel with than a golden retriever? These sweet guys make the perfect adventure partner, and help to make those travel pics 10000x better! He looks so happy to be exploring with his owner.
24. My overly photogenic golden retriever and my Bengal trying to hold her down
This is definitely not a happy cat, and a whole day’s worth of babysitting an excitable puppy seems to have pushed the final nail in the coffin for this poor kitty. His face seems to be saying, “Go Away! And take all your happiness with you.”
25. Sleepy pupper
According to the poster, her school always brings a bunch of therapy dogs on campus during midterms to cheer people up, and this sweet guy would certainly do the job! Even when he’s asleep, his cute little face is enough to bring smiles to our own. Why couldn’t we have gone to that school?
26. A little golden retriever puppy saying hello to her mother
Look out, because we think our hearts just exploded! Have you ever seen something more pure than this picture? Just look at the way that the mama dog is tenderly gazing at her pup. She looks so proud!
27. Hooman I made a mistake
This dog messed up, and he messed up bad. But who knew messing up could look so hilarious? The best thing about this picture is the dog’s little nose sticking out of the hole at the end. Simply adorable.
28. Golden puppy sitting in the pup holder
Cup holders aren’t just for cups – they’re also for super cute golden retriever puppies! His little face looks as though he’s just found a best friend forever – and we’re sure that the feeling is mutual. We’ve never wanted to boop someone’s nose so bad!
29. The golden tub
Have you ever seen such pure joy in one photo before? These little pups look like they’re having a whale of a time! Which one is your favorite?
30. Little pup is stuck
This adorable little fluffball is so cute, he doesn’t even look real! We’re totally wishing that we could cuddle him through this picture right now! We hope that someone freed him after this adorable snap was taken.
31. Sleepy boy
Okay, they talk about baby fever- but what about puppy fever? After seeing this adorable pic, we’ve never wanted a puppy so bad. Just look at those little paws!
32. My golden retriever and her 3 day old puppies
Have you ever seen such a proud mom? We love the way dogs with new litters give that combined look of pride, but also ‘human, I just made tiny things, I like them but I’m not exactly sure what’s going on!’
Now time for some much needed sleep!
33. Took my Golden Retriever Puppy to the park
We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again – who needs kids when you have a puppy? If you’re worried about your puppy not liking the park, then think again. Saying that, we don’t think we’ve ever seen an unhappy golden retriever.
34. This is Paisley. She ate a flower just to prove she could
Puppies will find any way to get up to mischief, and that includes eating things that they shouldn’t. Despite not being the biggest fan of the taste of flowers, Paisley the pup decided that eating one would really show her owners who’s boss. Do you think it worked?
35. When you hear some shocking news
This little guy looks as if he’s just been asked who chewed on the couch cushions in the living room. “Who? Me???” We’d give him 10/10 for acting skills though.
36. Big smiles
Okay, this is the kind of puppy that makes us want to quit our 9 to 5 job and move out to the countryside with a car full of goldens. Who needs humans when you can have puppies like these? Our hearts are so full!
37. My Golden Retriever Puppy named ‘Kaycee’ who wanted my attention so bad while doing dishes.
If puppies want attention, they’ll do whatever they can to make sure you give it to them – even if that means sitting in the dishwasher! Though as goldens are super clever, we reckon you could easily train them to do your dishes. How could you say no to that face?
38. Molly… Golden Puppy Or Bunny
Being out in the snow for the first time is always exciting, and it brings us so much joy to watch this little one bouncing around in the snow. Look at those helicopter ears! Our hearts also melted when we spotted the old grand-dog in the background, just proudly watching the grandbaby.
39. The messy eaters
Have you ever been so excited to eat that you put your whole body in your food bowl? This little guy looks like he enjoyed his tasty treat just a little too much! Luckily, mom is on hand to clean him up.
40. Our 4 month Golden Retriver puppy first encounter with a cat (3 month old)
The first meeting between a dog and a cat is always nerve-wracking, as you truly never know which way things are going to go. The pair could end up being the best of friends, but it’s also just as likely that they will end up hating each other and will only ever be happy in separate rooms. Luckily, this pair seem to be getting on like a house on fire.
41. Cutest braces smile
We never thought we’d see the day when we saw a dog with braces before, and we can’t get over how cute it looks! Apparently, this six-month-old golden retriever has teething problems, so she’s been given the cutest little doggie braces until she can close her mouth – which luckily for her should only take a couple of weeks!
42. The sock thief
If he could speak, this dog would be saying, “Pretty pwease can I have your sock dad? I promise I will give it back…maybe not in one piece.” And with a face that cute, we’d give him whatever he wants! Who needs socks anyway?
43. Henry, my Golden retriever puppy wearing his little yellow raincoat sitting in the rain.
This pup looks like he’s in a sad movie reflecting on all the things that have gone wrong in his life (all the broken tennis balls and discarded treats). Hopefully the sun will come out soon so he can get his smile back!
44. Look who got their paws little dirty today
You know it’s been a good day when you come home looking like this – though it has to be said, this pup has a bit more dirt on him than just his paws! His little downbeat expression shows us that he definitely knows that bath time is about to happen, and he’s not best pleased about it.
45. When you spend all day trying to figure out who’s a good boy
Now this is one smart pupper! He’s clearly thinking, “Let’s see… If x=y[3÷π]+(2/3)…carry the one…*gasp* it’s me! I’m the good boy!” He’s not wrong either.
46. I think I’ve perfected hiking
We can’t think of anything better than a hike with a puppy this adorable. Even if he got tired and had to be carried for most of the way, it would definitely be worth it. What a little cutie!
47. I’ll always look out for you
If this mama dog could talk, she would be telling her little one, “Now the world can be a big and scary place, but it can also be lots of fun! Make sure you collect as many tennis balls as possible, and stay away from the cat at the end of the street.” What an emotional moment.
48. So mom let me try this place called Starbucks yesterday, I LOVED it!!
Let’s be real, you’re not truly enjoying your Starbucks drink unless you end up with cream on the tip of your nose! With those hefty prices, it’s not often we even treat ourselves to a Starbucks, let alone our dog! What a spoiled little pupper.
49. Golden Retriever puppy wants my lunch
This little guy looks as if he’s using his tongue to try and climb up to reach that delicious looking sandwich. “OMG I’VE NEVER SMELT THIS BEFORE, GIMME GIMME GIMME!!!!”
50. Upward facing dog
This dog may be pretending to do yoga, but he’s actually just waiting until his owner feels safe enough to leave him alone with her shoes. With all the shoes left out in this room, it’s pretty much chew heaven for a little puppy! It helps that he has a butter-wouldn’t-melt face.
