The best dogs I've had have been mixed breeds (I hate the word "mutt"). I had a golden retriever/lab mix and he was the smartest puppy and dog (besides my purebred rescue poodle).
A LOT depends on the home the puppy goes to, and how willing they are to train a well behaved dog.

They will be mutts, there is no way around that. But that isn't a derogatory term...just means they are mixed breed.
Who knows what they will grow up to be. Depends on what genes they inherited, how they are raised, and if they are trained well.
I highly suggest you get your dog fixed though so she doesn't have any more accidental pregnancies in the future. We have lots of sweet little puppies sitting in shelters without people adding to the problem.

Usually mixed dog breeds have a better temperament since the pure bred has been mixed. As for how good the dogs will be that has to do with the owner more then anything. Love, time, respect and training are all aspects that make a good dog. I don't care for the terminology but "just mutts" are and can be very smart dogs.

Hi golden retrievers are very kind and loving dogs and are intelligent. A lab is a very smart dog also so i think the chances of having very intelligent and loving dogs is way up there. I bet they are darling. Good luck!

relies upon on how huge the mummy and dad have been. I actually have a german shepherd/malamute blend and he weighs 70 lbs. There truly is now thank you to tell how huge the dogs is going to get except you understand how huge the mummy and dad have been. you ought to probable estimate between sixty 5 and 80 5 pounds.

The one that my friend has is one of the smartest and most loyal dogs I have ever met. They seem to get the best of both sides.
Just because a dog is a mutt that does not mean that it well not be smart. They are mutts because they are not pure.
(who thumbed down everyone that said mutts are smart....is someone out there a mutt hater?)

i myself have a lab golden retriever mix and he is unbelieveably cute.
he has the color and body of a lab, but the cute head, face and persionality of a golden retriever. My dog is also very intelligent, but can be very stubborn just dont be to harsh on your pupps and they will grow up smart and cute!

they should be pretty smart dogs. retrievers tend to be very smart. but yeah they're mutts, and that's cool, mutts tend to be the healthiest dogs, they usually don't end up with all of those breed specific diseases
