Labradors and Golden Retrievers are the most popular dogs in so many countries across the world, and it’s easy to see why. They are loads of fun, people-oriented, obedient yet curious and have a sharp intelligence that still shines through beneath their hilariously goofy nature.

Originating in Newfoundland, where they were first bred to help fishermen and hunters to retrieve their nets and catch, Labradors are now commonly used as guide-dogs and comfort animals for the disabled. Golden Retrievers are very similar to Labs, with slight differences between British, American and Canadian types. They are all high-energy dogs, so they need plenty of exercise! They do love a cuddle as well though, and are always eager to please their humans. That why we love them so much!

Scroll down to see some of the cutest Labs and Golden Retrievers, compiled into a list by Bored Panda, and let us know what you think in the comments. Do you have a Labrador or Golden Retriever yourself? Feel free to share pics and stories too!

Humans love these "defects" on animals, Humans should learn to love them on humans too :)

such rarities, peculiarities have especially captivated me in their genuinely unique splendor & beauty. as only the extraordinarily rare organic genetic mutations could arise to bring forth such magnificent glory!

not very difficult to identify, I think it's unique, so are all dogs, cats any animal and the humans unique in their own way, there for i say, love, respect , accept and stop judging !!!

In the snake world, we call this a "paradox" - and usually it ups the value of said snakes. In this doggo's case, however, it's probably just a sign that there's (black) lab somewhere in his genes.

That is so unusual. I've never seen that before. I'm curious what he'll look like as an adult dog, what shape it will take. It would be nice if it were mostly around his eye giving him a pirate look.

I think he's a chimera rather than a dog with a birth mark.

It's just a different colour of some of the fur, not a birthmark.

You could put a dark filter in this, put on some red eyes, and BAM you got a horror movie.

Good human. Suggestion: take him for casual walks and waits in the vet clinic waiting room. Get him used to the places. so when he has to go it will be familiar already = less stress on you and him.
